Well, I've spent about an hour "searching" and it's hard for me to make heads or tails from listings. I've got a box of mint (cards still wrapped in factory cellophane) Donruss 1989 baseball cards. There are 12 packets...I don't know how many cards in each packet as I don't want to open them up. These are in a blue cardboard box with various team logos on the sides. The top of the box has a batter on the right in a blue uniform and a pitcher in a red uniform on the right. The top of the box says "Donruss Baseball Puzzle & Cards." There is also a collection of puzzles which are also mint. I haven't been able to find these (maybe I was just reluctant to scroll through 17,000 listings!) Any information as to value? Thanks bunches for any help/info. Batter Up!

I'm not positive, but I believe you have a 1989 Donruss complete set. If so, then your cards are worth about $15.00 total.

Sounds like you may have rack packs or something like that.
What are the dimensions of the box? A factory set box is long and wrapped on the outside.
Unfortunatly 1989 Donruss cards were MASSED produced and not very rare.
The star cards for that year were the Upper Deck.

Natch...of COURSE I'd have the "one of a zillion" massed-produced sets! Mine is in a long blue cardboard box...logo has a blue "Donruss" in the middle of the top and, under that in sort of a "wave" pattern in big red letters "BASEBALL" and, under that and to the right in blue letters the words "Puzzle & Cards". The cards have written in the lower left hand side..."Grand Slammers". Apparently baseball card collectors can tell from written descriptions what's being offered as few have pictures so I can compare mine with theirs...so far, I haven't seen a picture like mine. Again, all info is appreciated...hope this additional description helps...
