Flashback Friday #9: Donruss Puzzles
These days, sports card collectors have so many options... sometimes some of the coolest cards in a collection can get buried and forgotten. Back in the 80's and early 90's... outside of their Diamond King's subset... one of Donruss's coolest gimmicks was their puzzle piece inserts. Sure, they were inserted into every pack, mass produced, and are the furthest thing from being rare. But that doesn't mean they aren't cool.
They're over two decades old and feature the artwork of renowned sports artist, Dick Perez. Plus, they are beautiful enough to be framed... which is exactly what I intend to do.
Two weeks ago, I announced my Donruss Puzzle project. Since then, I've added the following completed puzzles to my collection:
Today, I turn to the internet to see if anyone can help me complete my Ted Williams puzzle:
These pieces were issued into packs of 1984 Donruss Action All-Stars. I busted two boxes of this stuff and came up short. I need one card, the one that has puzzle pieces #1, #2, & #3. If any of you have these pieces, I'd love to trade for them.
I still need help with my 1983 Donruss Action All-Stars puzzle of The Mick:
Although I found one of the cards, I still need the one that has the #7, #8, & #9 pieces.
I'm also looking to trade for the following completed puzzles:
I have extra completed puzzles of Killebrew, Musial, Spahn, and Yastrzemski for trade, along with singles of Mantle and Williams. Please contact me if you're interested in trading.
Friday's question is...
Without any hesitation, I'd have them create a Jackie Robinson puzzle. Well... happy Friday everyone. I hope all of you have a great weekend. Sayonara!

Friday's question is...
If you could bring Donruss & Dick Perez back together for a new puzzle project, who would you have them create a puzzle of?
Without any hesitation, I'd have them create a Jackie Robinson puzzle. Well... happy Friday everyone. I hope all of you have a great weekend. Sayonara!
