If you collected baseball cards in the 1980s then you should always be ready to have your hopes of riches dashed!
I'm glad I still have the 1981 cello. After letting me open the 1982 Donruss (and yeah, those early Donruss cards were so thin!) my father bought Topps wax boxes in 1983 and 1984 and again wouldn't let me open them. I started collecting myself a few years later and in 1987 my father saw how hot the market was and he told me to open the 1983 and 1984 boxes. I think he was hoping we'd find rookies for Boggs, Gwynn and Mattingly. Complete bust! We didn't get a single rookie card for any of those 3 guys. I wish I'd not opened those. I could have sold the pair now for about $1000 based on recent eBay sales. Instead I have a bunch of raw crap - but it's my raw crap and I've kept them all these years. Here's the link to the sale on eBay for the Donruss Ruth promo sheets. This seller has sold 11 already and has 6 more on the market: https://www.ebay.com/itm/27486456873...mis&media=COPY Last edited by ParisianJohn; 05-03-2023 at 08:37 AM. |

If the OP's item is on thicker Puzzle stock, I would assume it's much different then the 8x11 promo posters on Ebay, that are advertised as being on regular paper stock.
Doesn't mean it's worth a lot, but definitely a distinction between the two premiums. |

Side view attached -- it is probably the exact same promo sheet, just mounted onto thicker board and then onto a wood support. And then transformed into a limited edition.

on ebay now -- let's see what it's worth. At least 99 cents now. Maybe only 99 cents.

I just think that's a super cool relic of collecting history, as a company-issued apology and only a certain # produced, with the letter and everything.

Thanks for listing that on ebay. If it sells for something worthwhile, I'll list mine after your auction concludes.
