That set has error/variations that have gone in the 100's of $$$ ::facepalm::

I'm sure this is a LLOONNGGG way away - but think we'll ever get to point where 80's and 90's cards do get a little harder to find because so many people are throwing them out or in this case, heating their home with them?!

I apologize if my question is stupid, forgive me, it's morning haha

there will never be a day you will see this happen.. just look at how many auctions there are for unopened cases, boxes and packs of this stuff still and think about how much has already been opened up over the years. This guy could burn away all winter long for the next few years and not even put a dent in the population.

I might check his blog every now and then to see his progress though.. and I think he should open it up to more than just 87.

i wish i had a fireplace. seriously.

i want to rip some vending, but will have to throw out the ungradable cards

I think the auction would be better maybe if you could pick the cards specifically he burns, or instead of shipping maybe send a video of him burning what you bought.

What kind of variations exist? I have 9 sets that I hand collated, wouldn't mind checking through them.

That's hilarious!

Love the woodies, hate overproduction =(

That IS funny. Oddly enough that was the first baseball card set my Dad gave me.

Ive burned a few of those and other late 80's early 90's products in my firepit in the past.. seems like a sacreligious thing to do as a card collector. I have a box to throw in this spring that I've been saving up.

I think that guy is going to have to video all his burns and add to his blog.. Im sure he will receive mixed reviews from collectors if his blog takes off from the Ebay auction publicity.
