When the checklist for 2023 Donruss came out, I had to throw a little mini party. For the first time since 2012 Topps Archives, Ray Lankford has a mainstream card. The Archives was an autograph. I say mini party because there are 24 different versions of his card counting the printing plates. It will be impossible, but I will try to acquire as many as possible. The first one arrived on Wednesday.
The On Fire parallels are numbered to 75. I paid about $11 for this one on EBAY. Maybe a little high, but I have no idea how many people will be busting Donruss. Anything numbered under 100 may be hard to find. I believe this is the first card showing Lankford wearing #12 instead of his usual #16. During his final season with the Cardinals in 2004 Reggie Sanders was wearing #16.
