Gotta get that DK$ - This will be an opportunity to answer/guess at a question.  If you are the first to get it right, you can earn some extra DK$! (DK$ won this way cannot be used until the next item)

1991 Donruss is a bummer of  a set if only because of the incredible number of cards made.  But they also introduced the Elite insert series that year.  I've been told that the Elite inserts were the first to have machine numbering on them.  Whether that's true or not...

I pulled one!  Back in the summer of 1991, my brother and I were at a card show.  For reasons I don't fully understand, We were going to a dealer and buying one pack of 91 Donruss at a time, walking away, opening it and then going back for another.  Probably looking for a specific rookie that isn't worth the paper its printed on now.  So I pulled an Elite!!  We didn't even know what it was, but we were savvy enough to keep from getting badly ripped off, and asked around.  Once we got the idea, I ended up trading the card for a Dr. J rookie card (long gone, unfortunately!).  I felt like I got a decent deal, but I got a lot of flak from kids about letting that Elite card go!

Question: Which player did I pull on the Elite card?  5 DK$ to the first player to get the correct answer in the comments.
