“I was looking to see what a 1987 Leaf case looked like, but all I could find was a 10 box case with 8 regular boxes and 2 Leaf boxes. Does anyone know if this is the only way they came? If so, that’s a 1:4 Leaf / Donruss ratio just in those cases alone. Then you have regular 20 box cases of Donruss on top of that. If you do a 10 box mixed for every 20 box regular then you are at a 1:15 ratio without taking in to account Racks and Cellos. If the ratio of 1:15 is close, which I think it is more like 1:50, then Leaf boxes are very undervalued in the current market.” The ratio of submissions to PSA is 1:11.9. 9,222 Leaf vs 110,089 Donruss.

The Donruss numbers are off. I uncovered some Donruss internal sales documents from 1990 and they talked about the sales figures and growth from year-to-year throughout the decade. While these aren't actual production numbers, I think it's safe to infer that as sales increased dramatically, so did production.
Despite popular hobby sentiment, 1984 Donruss was not short printed. It was Donruss' most successful year to date and, in fact, they did so well that they decided to branch out and enter the Canadian market. From 1985 onward, sales virtually doubled every year. If Donruss was doing this well, Topps must have been cleaning up because they had a much larger market share. I know I saved a copy of these documents. There's virtually no way I would have come across such things and not made some kind of digital copy for my files. It's just a matter of me finding them. Arthur

The decline in Donruss production figures (slight) in 1992 and (major) in 1994 were based on details in some memos / press releases that Insidethewrapper posted higher up in the thread.
Let me know if those jibe with what you remember from the internal documents (increased sales growth yr-yr could be due to price increases rather than volume?) and/or if you can find the copies of the docs Quote:

Thanks for posting -- looks like an incredible resource. I'll update the list. Been working on a lot of other sets for it, but haven't been updating it here

Just hoping to find some renewed inspiration to keep building on this thread. Adding photos of some of my favorite cards from the '80s & '90s as a little reminder that there are amazing sets from the "Junkwax" era.

I need help identifying this set #. I original thought it was 06722, but after a closer review and not finding any additional set above 6483, I doubt it is a 7. 06?22 - it has to be a 0, 1,2,3, or 4. It doesn't look like a 1,3, or 4 to me. So is it a 2 or a 0?
