1986 Donruss Highlights

By Patrick Mondout

The second annual boxed 56 card set of Donruss Highlights was produced at the end of the '86 season. While this set was not nearly as popular as the first one (mostly due to hype surrounding The Rookies set), it was still a must-have set after last year's set increased in price so quickly.

The fronts of the cards were very similar to the standard '86 Donruss set, but had the Highlights logo instead of a team logo and the player's name and the reason for the card (i.e., "NL Player of the Month - April") whereas only the player's name and position appear on the standard card. The fronts also feature alternating black and gold, rather than blue, striped borders.

The backs of the cards feature a paragraph explaining the honor for which the card was created.

This set is also mentioned here. Here is a complete checklist:
