1987 Donruss The Rookies
Description
1987 Donruss The Rookies is a 56-card boxed set released exclusively to Hobby dealers in a small green and black box. The design on the set is identical to the 1987 Donruss regular issue except for the presence of "The Rookies" logo in the lower left corner and a green border instead of a black border. Each set also came packaged with a 15-piece miniature version of the Roberto Clemente puzzle.
The key XRCs in this set are Ellis Burks and Matt Williams. The second Donruss-issued cards of Greg Maddux and Rafael Palmeiro are also in this set. Because it’s the first card in the set (of which came in a tightly-sealed cello wrap), the Mark McGwire card is quite condition sensitive.
