Manufacturer: Donruss
Set Size: 605 Cards
Card Size: 2-1/2” x 3-1/2”
Set Notes: Something big happened in 1981 to the baseball card industry. Both Donruss and Fleer entered the market and gave collectors a choice aside from Topps. 1981 was not a huge year for rookie lineup but a few popular new comers can be found. Most notably being the Tim Raines rookie card. 1981 Donruss features a simple design on front, large player photo and black text of player name and position at bottom. The Donruss logo can be found small at the top with the year. A color boarder and team name finish it off. The backs celebrate the Donruss name and logo in a banner type design with player stats.
Key Rookies From 1981 Donruss: 156 – Jeff Reardon | 282 – Rusty Kuntz | 538 – Tim Raines
