I bought a box that should be here in a day or two. I love opening packs and the gambling aspect associated with it but my luck lately has been terrible.

Ugh.   Those years aren't worth the space they take up.   

Which sucks, because I had tens of thousands of those.
Well it's just that I grew up in the 1980s/90s so those sets have sentimental value (just as the 3rd-6th gens of video game consoles do)...and I love to try to collect all the mid-90s insert sets...the golden age of "insertmania"

That's the main reason to not just toss boxes of Donruss from the early 90s; never know when you'll find one of those inserts.

I did enjoy finding stuff like that back when I collected (I think 1992 was my favorite year for that; managed to find the cello packs of Fleer that had their not-so-limited insert and Topps packs that still had the contest cards you could win at by shining a flashlight through).   But as an adult trying to justify moving all that stuff, meh.

Yes, the first three years or so of Donruss Elite inserts (they started in 1991) are still quite the prize.
