Any Ruben Sierra collectors here?

[Lars]

The Rangers or one of their minor league affiliates can emboss the cards with a foil stamp and have them as stadium giveaways.

Breaking news from Leaf's Brian Gray:

I am pleased to introduce the most high end baseball release of all time, the 2013 Ruben Sierra Immortals Collection.

This tribute to the 1989 AL MVP Runner-Up has been the subject of many requests over the years. Now, Leaf is delivering this incredibly high quality, low print run release of only 23,000 cards!

LOL!!!!!!!

if you laid the cards in this lot end to end you could cover a little over 1.25 miles.

If my math is correct, you could also make a road 10 feet wide and almost 140 feet long!

- There are 792 cards in the 1987 Topps baseball set.
- Wax pack = 17 cards, wax box = 36 packs, case = 20 boxes. = 12,240 cards
- 12,240 / 792 = 15 cards per player in each case.
- 23,000 Rubens = 1533 cases worth of cards

Based on my grocery store experience, it looks like 12 cases per pallet (6 Tide, 2 High), with double stacking possible. A 52' trailer will hold 22 pallets, double stacked = 44. 1533 cases is around 128 pallets, or 3 semi trailers full of 1987 Topps to find 23,000 of one player.

Ok — This is the BurnCardBurn Project kick off. I’m totally excited to be launching this project. In a nutshell, I will be burning 1987 Topps Baseball cards every week to reduce the number of cards in circulation — read more here.

First up, was one of my childhood favorites: Ruben Sierra card #261 . Ruben was a rookie in 1986 so the 1987 Topps card is his rookie card. Ruben could hit for power from both sides of the plate and had great years with the Rangers, finishing second in 1989 MVP voting. I’m not sure whatever happened to him. Anyway, Ruben, you are now immortilized as the #1 card to be burned in the BurnCardBurn project.

Too bad they aren't Larkins. At least it would be a Hall of Famer rookie card. You'd still never be able to sell them all unless you broke them into 100 count lots at around $25 each. That's scary.
