Yea, I didn't care too much for it (I collect Rangers and vintage). I sold it within a week or 2. I think it was about a $40 card when I sold it. Not sure what it's worth now. Edit: Just checked, and it seems they're in the $60 range.

As they should.  I've opened close to 300 boxes of 1991 and 1992 Donruss over the past 3-4 years and only pulled two Elite inserts, Andre Dawson and Cecil Fielder.
I noticed the 1993 Elite Dominators had several green arrows.  All of these cards are extremely undervalued!

Does anybody know if Elite inserts are in rack packs? I found a guy selling a bunch locally and wanted to confirm that there is at least a remote possibility that they're not just in wax packs!

According to Beckett they were only found in wax packs.  

"These special cards were randomly inserted in the 1991 Donruss first and second series wax packs."

Kind of crazy that I was just getting into cards back then and somehow pulled the Rickey Henderson Legends card (from the 1992 product).

There's no way I busted more than 2 or 3 packs in order to get it back then. My parents weren't going to spend much money on packs since I was just getting started.

I didn't even know what I had for a long time and because of that I wasn't aware of how to properly protect cards. It ended up with a dinged corner because, for a while, I kept my "good" cards in an actual shoebox.

I still have it, though. One of my prized possessions. =)

That's not even a fraction of what I had!  Figured I'd give you a good chance at getting one with a high grade... Tongue

In the past 4-5 years, I've probably opened close to 300 boxes of 1991 and 1992 Donruss, and have pulled exactly two Elite inserts (Dawson & Fielder).  

There has to be a lot of these cards still sealed in packs.  I'm not having any luck locating them... Tongue
I am always humbled by opening 90's products remembering how hard it is to hit certain inserts
