I remember some of the non-sport cards Donruss put out in the late 70’s - seemed to be a lot of car-themes. I’m right across the lake from Chicago and couldn’t always find them. They got the license late, so went with any old picture I guess. Funny as in 82, a lot of fleet’s pics were bad compared to Donruss. I’ve been working on early signed Donruss sets, emphasis on the 84 (down to 40).
