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

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.

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?

I'm digging up this old thread because I'm interested in building a predictive statistical model, or econometrics type model, to estimate total print runs of vintage sets. It should be doable if I have a couple of known, or semi-known, sets that I can start with. I'll have to control for multiple factors, but I think it should be doable using pop report data as long as I can build a separate ensemble model that predicts the likelihood of a card being submitted in the first place (very doable, as the likelihood of a card being submitted for grading depends on demand and survival, as well as likelihoods of resubmission). From there, I should be able to estimate total print runs that at least pass the smell test.

Has any progress been made on this project in recent years?
