1988 Donruss Baseball Set

[@adamscardcloset9020]

love this set always since Murph was the cover boy .

[@basementcardcollector]

It’s a great looking set, in very 1980s kinda way!! I figured you had one or 2 of these dale murphy cards and boxes! Merry Christmas!

[@zachandporter]

This was awesome. Loved those pop up cards growing up. I’m glad Donruss went back to the normal size in 88. Porter has two of those books, A’s and I believe Cubs.

[@basementcardcollector]

Thanks man, a great set for sure! I love looking at the 'oldies'! Can you believe how old 1988 is now?!?!?

[@zachandporter]

@@basementcardcollector it is scary how time flies.

[@brandonstebbins7242]

88 Donruss is such a nice set. Childhood memories for sure

[@basementcardcollector]

For sure! It feels good to put them in order, some are way back 'my original' cards from then. Fun to go through for sure!

I guess if you truly want a ‘master’ set of 1988 Donruss you’ll have to buy that book. Nice showcase. Thanks for sharing.

[@basementcardcollector]

Thanks RJ! Its a set full of memories and some great players. Yeah I need to get ALL of the EXTRA cards for Donruss box for sure!

I love some 1988 Donruss as well. Really not a bad Rookie lineup. Grace was a very good player in my opinion. That is a young mcgriff. Enjoyed.

[@basementcardcollector]

Thanks! I have always wanted to piece this set together, just did it for the first time ever😁 LOVE that Grace!!!

[@hofminer]

Dude I’ve never seen that book before. Very cool. Never even knew about those updates. Wow. 88 is an awesome set. The design is great and tons of legends in there. 👌.

[@basementcardcollector]

It’s pretty sweet! A friend gave that to me. It was the first I had heard of them, the updated cards look so cool/different!! Thanks for watching!! It’s a great set from the ‘past’😁

[@hofminer]

@@basementcardcollector what I love is finding the rare stuff in an era of ubiquity. Great stuff. ✅

[@basementcardcollector]

@@hofminer We must think alike! I love yard sales, antique stores just for that reason!

[@patricksbaseballcards]

Great video man, I love this set also. Hard to piece together though. I’ve opened 2 boxes & still have a few cards to go! Almost there. My favorite card in the set is probably the Maddux 2nd year. Thanks for sharing & congratulations on completing your set!!

[@basementcardcollector]

Thanks! I need like 8, and Mike another 12/13 that could use a better copy for the set. I was shocked that it was that low. The last set I put together, I felt good at the start of the process and got to the end to need 120 of the 600😕… not so close! Great looking Maddux for sure!

[@3D80sKid]

Nice overview of the set Jason! Personally, I think the best thing about it was the wax pack boxes. 😉This was perfect timing for this video, as I now just added a Cecil Fielder to my Christmas card for you.

[@basementcardcollector]

John-It was fun to put together!! It’s hard to believe just how old 1988 is today🤔😁😕 It just takes you back doesn’t it?! Great players, affordable packs, but just hard to keep in good shape! Dude thanks! Big Cecil- thanks! Have a great weekend John!!

[@jagger-ut1bm]

Thanks

[@TonyBlack574]

i think they are still printing 1988 donruss.

[@basementcardcollector]

📠…I need to print off a few to complete this thing!!!!

[@marksantucci4230]

you have time to put cards away nice and neat I would never have the time! cards after 1981 for some reason with these players I have troubles buying there cards Nolan Ryan , Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton , Mr. October ect I wouldn't call 1988 Vintage, sheets and binders , lucite cases , hard plastics were out. I would call them older Modern cards? Vintage would be more like a 1975 George Brett, 76 , 74 Parker, 74 Schmidt some say Vintage ends in 1980 with Rickey Henderson. from some where around 1941 , 1948 up to 1980 would be Vintage?. then older Modern picks up in 1981? some very nice Diamond King cards Tim Raines and Mark Mcgwire , nice Donruss rated rookie cards Roberto Alomar ,and Mark Grace , I have some Alomar cards I want to say 1988 or 1989 but Topps , nice Yount , nice Dawson Joe Carter , Mattingly , Jim Rice , I would say your Glavine is a 5.00dollar card your right it's not 10.00 here are 2 questions question 1 at your local card shop how much do you think that card would go for in that same condition Glavine card 644? 1. B how much do you think that would go for with these grades on it an 8, a 9 and a 10 any company with a sticker on it? question 2 in Atlanta city or the suburbs if you walked into a card shop how much do you think that would go for? 2 B same question as !B but for the area of Atlanta?

[@basementcardcollector]

Mark thanks for taking the To watch and comment! I try to sort cards when I would buy/get a collection. Then I try to get them i. The same SET 5000 count box. Then I can decide if I can/should put a set together. I don’t ever look up cards anymore. When I was a youngster, I loved Beckett/ Tudf Stuff and other price guides. I’ll have to look up that Glavine. I don’t grade cards so im not sure the difference in pricing for it, though I would imagine it much higher I. The Atlanta area for sure.

[@marksantucci4230]

@@basementcardcollector it may cost 5.00 in Atlanta but items in stores , food at restaurants cost less housing cost less so 5.00 in New York is more than 5.00 in Atlanta.

[@the_card_closet]

I've got that factory set sitting in my closet, along with 1000 doubles. Send me your address and they're yours. The 6 you need.

[@basementcardcollector]

LOL, lucky!!!!! I get it, I think I know have a sealed set, this one im building and almost 2 full rows of doubles left over! Thanks man, I will send you that list if you mean that! Thanks!!!!

[@basementcardcollector]

I sent you an email I included the ones I needed, the ones that we’d bent up, ALL that we were on my need list. If you find any, please let me know how many you have/ found. Thanks Eric!
