JJ Nissen Baseball Card- Don Mattingly

This is card #4 from the 1989 JJ Nissen Superstars collection.
Nissen is (was?) a New England bread company that each year (at least a few times) issued a series of "superstar" baseball cards. Get one in each loaf. (Not actually IN the bread, but that would have been fun).

My parents knew I liked baseball cards at this time actually saved the cards for me from their bread. I think the cards are super cool because my parents took the time to set them aside for me, but also because they are so super low-budget- they obviously bought the rights to the players from the player association, but not the full license from MLB, so the players don't have any team logos on them.
