Thanks to @4miles2roll.bsky.social for these two 1983 Donruss needs (plus an extra Tommy). In record time I'm down to the final 6 cards. A month ago I needed 310. #cardsky

An open greeting card displaying three trading cards. From left, a 198 Donruss card of the Brewers' Ned Yost, a 1983 Donruss card of the Braves' Rufino Linares and a 1981 Donruss card of Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda (spelled "LaSorda" on his card).
