1989 Donruss ‘Baseball’s Best’ Andre Dawson

This is the second of three of Donruss’ ‘Baseball’s Best’ cards I grabbed of Andre in a recent ‘oddball’ lot purchase.

I think what stands out most about this card is how much it is better than the regular base card from the 1989 Donruss set, which can be seen here.  While the base card is a nice one, the ‘Baseball’s Best’ version is much better.  The picture is lit perfectly and the swing Andre is ready to take looks like it will be a mighty one.

It’s too bad that Donruss held this photo for a special sub-set of cards rather than their base version – maybe a few more people would have been converted to their brand.

Oh well, I am thrilled to add this ‘oddball’ to my growing collection and I still have 1 more to show off to you soon…  Stay tuned!
