I’ve been working on early signed Donruss sets, emphasis on the 84 (down to 40).
That would be down to the printer and art departments.

One of the photographers that sold pics to Fleer was a customer at the local card shop. His stuff looked good. Sort of sorry I didn't try to get some pics from the same photo shoots or something. I forget if he just sold the whole roll to them and they used what they wanted or if he sent contact prints and they bought only a few.
