Description

1982 Donruss is a 660 card set containing 653 numbered cards and seven unnumbered checklists. The first 26 cards of this set mark the debut of the Diamond Kings (DK) and feature the artwork of Dick Perez of Perez-Steele Galleries. The Diamond Kings would become a staple of Donruss Baseball set for the next decade.

After issuing 1981 Donruss with a stick of gum in each pack, an appeals court ruled that Topps still had the exclusive right to market baseball trading cards packaged with gum, or as a stand-alone product. As a result, each '82 Donruss pack contained three pieces of a 63-piece puzzle, which, when put together, make a collage of Babe Ruth entitled "Hall of Fame Diamond King."

The card stock in this year's Donruss cards is considerably thicker than the 1981 cards and there aren't nearly as many error cards as in '81. The seven unnumbered checklist cards are arbitrarily assigned numbers 654 through 660 and are listed at the end of the list below. Notable Rookie Cards in this set include Cal Ripken, Jr., Dave Righetti, Lee Smith, and Terry Francona. In addition, '82 Donruss features the first trading card of the San Diego Chicken, which, when sent back to Donruss, collectors could have autographed.

1982 Donruss was also issued as a factory set, the first time a manufacturer issued their flagship set in this form.

Great Moments Posters

Donruss created two 8" X 11" posters to promote the upcoming 1982 Donruss Baseball set. Both posters featured original artwork from Dick Perez. One, entitled "Donruss Great Moments 1981," featured six active players and their accomplishments from the 1981 season. The other poster was of the completed Babe Ruth puzzle (see below). It has been speculated that the Donruss Great Moments 1981 painting was to have been the subject of the puzzle insert, but was changed to Babe Ruth for licensing purposes.

Babe Ruth Puzzle

Babe-Ruth.jpg?id=d2fa00e2-b5b7-4a84-9f1d-63976b9a0907&size=original&side=front&.jpg

In order to get around the MLB licensing requirement that all baseball cards be tied with "something," Donruss created a 63-piece jigsaw puzzle of Babe Ruth. Each wax pack contained one, three-piece, panel; and factory sets had the full set of 21 panels.
