The card collector's view

The cornerstone is the 1984 Donruss #248 — among the most iconic baseball cards of the 80s, the rookie that defines the era for many collectors. The 1984 Fleer #131 and 1984 Topps #8 are companion rookies. 1985 Topps Glossy and Donruss Diamond Kings offer post-RC chase. Modern Yankees fans hunt his Topps Heritage retro autographs and Topps Stadium Club photo-variant inserts.

About Don Mattingly Cards & Plaques at FreshDCards

Donnie Baseball. Don Mattingly played all fourteen seasons in pinstripes and became the most beloved Yankee of the 80s. The 1985 AL MVP. Six All-Star nods. Nine Gold Gloves at first base. Captain of the Yankees from 1991 to his retirement in 1995. A back injury cut the prime short, but the standard was set: .307 lifetime average, six straight 200-hit seasons. His number 23 was retired by the Yankees. Hall of Fame voters never reached 75%, but Yankees fans don't care.
