Go up to Insidethewrapper's post with images. Tried to incorporate that into some of the ranges on the list
That kind of makes sense, but I stopped collecting in 1993 and am sure it was for a set from before that year.

Just looking at this entry from baseballcardpedia it does state that Donruss reduced production in 1992:

http://baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/Donruss

"In 1992, with sales of standard card lines plunging in the face of more attractive higher-end versions, Donruss announced that it was severely curtailing its production and doubling their flagship set's retail price to 99 cents a pack."

They don't give a source for that so I don't know what that statement is based on, but it does jive with my memory. I bet if anyone has any old hobby publications around from 1992, or maybe some Donruss promotional stuff from that year (I worked in a card shop at the time and we used to get that stuff) they might find something with an announcement like that.
