1986 Leaf

Description

1986 Leaf is a 264-card set issued for the Canadian market by Donruss. Except for the sequential-numbering, the company logo, and the bilingual backs, the cards are essentially the same as the American set.

Two Dick Perez art cards of Jeff Reardon (#214) and Jesse Barfield (#254), are called Canadian Greats (CG) and are not contained in the Donruss set. Diamond Kings (numbers 1-26, denoted DK) and Rated Rookies (numbers 27-29, denoted RR) are included just as in the American set; however, those players included as Diamond Kings do not have a regular card.

As in most Canadian sets (like O-Pee-Chee), the players featured are heavily biased toward Canadian teams and those American teams closest to the Canadian border. The checklist cards (listed at the end of the list below) are numbered one, two and three (but are not given a traditional card number); the Diamond Kings checklist card is also unnumbered.

The only two true Rookie Cards in the set are of Andres Galarraga and Fred McGriff. Curiously, Jose Canseco, whose 1986 Donruss Rated Rookie card was one of the preeminent cards of The Junk Wax Era, was not included in Leaf. The third Rated Rookie is of Phillies pitcher Dave Shipanoff, a native of Edmonton.
