1986 Donruss Customer Service

[deweyinthehall]

Years ago my job involved interviewing people who wanted to work for a large employer in D.C.

So, I was interviewing this one guy back in the mid-90s. He said on his paperwork that he worked for a company called Leaf in Tennessee, and that his boss was a man named Don Ross.

Collecting cards as I did, I paused and said "So Don Ross was your boss?", and he said, "well that was the name on all the boxes we shipped out".

It was all I could do to keep a straight face.

Wow, I hope you didn't hire him.

There was a collector, I believe based out of Michigan, who wrote a ton of letters to the editors for both BHN and SCD. His name, unless he did that as a joke, was Don Ross.

I love "mysteries" like this.
Even better, I love hearing about companies that still honor the prize/promotion/discount decades later.
