Default Unusual 1983 Donruss Cards

Thirty years ago I acquired some unusual 1983 Donruss panels. Let me explain: I have approximately 12 to 15 different panels. They vary from the regular cards in that they are very high gloss, some with proofing bars. There's more space between each card and the one next to it than is actually necessary to provide for correct border sizes (if cut). Finally, the area between each card is imperforate.

Has anyone else encountered these panels, or have an explanation for their existence? Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanx,
Craig

Do you have a panel with Garvey on it by chance? If so, would love to see a close up scan if possible. I know 84 Donruss gets the vote by most, but I really liked the 83 set myself.

Looks like an extra wide margin on the right too?

If it is they're probably proofs/tests of some sort.

Makes me wonder what if Donruss went glossy with the 83s and beyond? Or maybe they were planning a set like the Topps Tiffany but a year earlier. How different things could have been.
