Why This Card Matters
David Wells threw a **perfect game on May 17, 1998** — 27 up, 27 down with 11 strikeouts against Minnesota, the 15th perfect game in major-league history and the first thrown by a Yankee in the regular season. He won **239 games over 21 seasons**, made **three All-Star teams**, and won World Series rings with **Toronto in 1992 and the Yankees in 1998**. The Blue Jays drafted him in the **second round, 30th overall, in 1982** and he pitched two separate stints for them, going **20-8 in 2000 to lead the American League in wins**. This is his base card in **1991 Leaf**, the premium silver-bordered brand Donruss issued as its upmarket line — from the middle of his first Blue Jays stint.

Centering measured against the uniform silver-grey outer border running to the black inner frame: **56/44 left-to-right and 62/38 top-to-bottom**. **The vertical reading is the limiting factor on this copy and is stated plainly** — the design sits noticeably low. All four corners are sharp. The grey borders show only faint print speckle, which is a characteristic of the stock. The surface is clean with no creases. |

Set & Parallel Note
1991 Leaf was Donruss' premium brand — heavier stock and a distinctive **silver border** against the mass-market sets of the era. This is a **Series 1** card (the back prints SERIES 1 beside the 1991 Leaf copyright); Series 1 runs #1-264 within the 528-card set. This is the **base** card: 1991 Leaf has **no parallel program**, and there is no gold or foil treatment here. **Not serial numbered**; the era predates it. **Not a short print** — 1991 Leaf Series 1 is a straight run with no SP tier. The back carries **no CODE# line**; Leaf and Donruss did not use Topps' product-code system.
