I like 88 Donruss, it�s my favorite junk wax set. I�ve cracked at least 60 boxes of it. 88 Donruss is on an inferior stock, the backs are poor quality with no image, etc. while Score was bringing quality color photos to the back, and better quality stock on both sides. I don�t see how 88 Donruss can be rated above the Score issue on a technical quality level.

I was referring to mid-80s Donruss, most notably 1984.
