Why This Card Matters

Willie Upshaw became the **first player in Blue Jays history to drive in 100 runs in a season**, reaching the mark on September 20, 1983 and finishing that year at **.306 with 27 home runs and 104 RBI** — good for 11th in AL MVP voting, and a season that set franchise records for RBI, total bases, extra-base hits and slugging. Toronto had taken him with the **first overall pick of the 1977 Rule 5 draft** for $25,000. He played **1,115 games as a Blue Jay**, eighth in club history. This is his card in the 1988 Donruss base set, #271.

Set & Parallel Note

1988 Donruss is the blue-black-and-red striped-border design, a 660-card base set. This is the **base** card — no gold foil border and no "Baseball's Best" branding, which are the two things that would mark it as something else. **Not serial numbered**; the era predates serial numbering entirely. **Not a short print** — 1988 Donruss runs #1-660 with no SP tier, the only separate block being the Bonus MVP subset at BC1-BC26. The back carries **no CODE# line**: Topps' product-code system did not exist yet, and this is a Donruss product regardless. The copyright line reads **© 1987 Leaf, Inc.**, which is normal for a 1988 Donruss card — Leaf was the parent company.
