HaHa, I remember doing this years ago in the midst of a move with a bunch of monster boxes of late 80's commons. What I remember most is how hard it was to actually burn the cards. I don't know if it was the 88 Donruss, the 88 Score, the 89 Hoops or the Proset Football and Hockey....but the cards more melted then burned.

The melters for me where the Sportflics. Thick plastic 3D cards.

I've burned cards too, mostly 1992 Topps baseball that has little for variations or anything interesting among the commons. Luckily I didn't have too much, they go up pretty good in a hot woodstove with a fire already going.

It's when you try to burn a big lot of cards on their own that you have issues...those babies need air between them to light. Reminds me of when my wife tried to burn one of those phonebook looking harbor freight or Northern Tool catalogs you get in the mail sometimes.

Back on topic - super cool errors/variations you guys have dug up! PSA recognition is always a huge step as well.

Back off-topic…I find cards far easier to compost than burn. Shredded they compost great, but even whole they’re leaf-sized slices of carbon.

After going thru over 8,000 1986 cards, the only one I found that pertains to this thread is the Billy Sample card!
At least it's still in NRMT condition!
