Donruss 1988 Set Appraisal

Collection of 1988 Donruss Baseball Cards

This is a collection of approximately 17 vintage baseball cards primarily from the 1988 Donruss set. The cards feature a distinctive design characteristic of that year, including a bright red border with black and white accents. Each card measures a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inches and is constructed from typical cardstock material of the era. Visible players include names such as Keith Moreland, Brook Jacoby, Gene Garber, and Ken Caminiti, among others. The photography consists of both portrait-style close-ups and action shots on the field. In terms of condition, the cards appear to be loose and unsleeved, resting on a blue cloth surface. Many cards exhibit visible wear including soft corners, minor edge chipping, and some slight surface bowing or warping. There is a noticeable variation in centering across the group, which is common for mass-produced sets from the late 1980s popularly known as the 'Junk Wax Era.' The color saturation remains relatively strong, though the red borders are prone to showing minor scuffs. No significant tearing or major creases are immediately apparent from the distance of the photo, but a detailed inspection for surface scratches or 'spider' creasing would be necessary for a formal grade. This collection represents a classic example of late-20th-century sports memorabilia, produced by the Donruss Company.
