Here's an example.

As a lover of 1988 Donruss for some reason (probably need a therapist for this one), I didn't know about these. 1 more thing to chase!

They're actually really cheap. You can usually get a full set of 5 team booklets (with all cards included) for like $20 shipped on eBay. Don't buy them separately, FWIW. That would be for player collectors.

Have you seen the Puckett (I think, it's been a while) from the … Not sure of the real name, but the super giant blister pack/rack.

Thank you guys! Appreciate the guidance on the booklets, off to eBay tonight.

I've cracked like 3 cases worth of 88 Donruss over the years, my favorite junk wax set (for reasons I can't justify or think of). I get more than the few bucks they cost worth of fun popping the packs, even if they are all dupes. 87-91 Donruss are all great in my book. I must have a ton of the little RPD's and variants but I've never checklisted them. I have the Baseball's Best, All-Stars, the 26 MVP inserts, the Leaf set, and the The Rookies supplemental sets that all have the same design as the base. I have the Pop Ups set too, and the puzzle of course. Unless I'm forgetting another common parallel/same design set, I thought this was all there was for '88.

I had never heard of the rack pack panel before this post. Looks like the attached is the Puckett panel card, another one I didn't know I needed

Who needs T206's and Goudey's when one can chase more 88 Donruss? Thanks for the shopping trip guys!

When I find them I'll send you a picture of the whole pack/wrapper. I have a few extras. I'm sure we can make a deal on one. The complete retail piece is huge.
