Cards On Steroids???

Hello again Buffet fans. Today I have some over sized cards from the 1984 Donruss Champions series. These cards measure 3 1/2 by 5 inches and were duplicates of the standard size set.

Here is #10 of Carl Yastrzemski next to a standard sized Doc Gooden card.

Here are two #20 Rogers Hornsby, front and back. Hornsby was a "Grand Champion" card and were Dick Perez drawn pictures. The backs had nice write ups on the players as opposed to stats on the back. Each "regular" card has a comparison to one of the Grand Champions in the set. There are 60 cards total with 10 of them being Grand Champions.

The Robin Yount #47 has a write up comparing him to Frank Robinson and the Don Sutton #41 matches him up with Walter Johnson. The Yastrzemski is grouped with Hank Aaron.

Here is the checklist.

I am considering trying to put this oversize set together so if anybody has any let me know. I have dupes on the Yount and Hornsby if anybody wants them.
 
 
On a side note, I will be giving away some Strat-O-Matic games in the near future as I have hooked up with Jay over at Stratomatic games and he is sending me some games to give away to some of my readers. Steve over at White Sox Cards has done the same so if you didn't win any there you will have a chance here when the games are delivered to me here at The Buffet. You can click on the link at the top or bottom of the blog page to get info on the games. I will be getting the baseball versions.
 
 

Thanks for Reading!
