Numbered 19/????

[adelith]

I'm just curious, who of you guys keep track on how many numbered cards you have being number 19 or 22 of whatever number they are?

What about 16/?

16 was the number he wore on the last day of his career for Cleveland.

I actually own that jersey, it was auctioned off by the Indians a couple years ago. I have it hanging in a shadow box in my office. I didn't know he only wore it that day.

Interesting, a #16 Indians jersey was auctioned off on eBay a few months ago with all the paperwork showing that it was Juan's so he must have had more than one of them. It did claim to be the Jersey he was wearing on the final day but it did allude to it.

I got a few numbered 19 as well as a few number 1's

Rob is the absolute king in that arena. I challenge anyone to have as many cards as bookends (1st or last serial number) or Juan's jersey number. He must have 50-100 of them easy.

Maybe someone can explain to me why that is so important. I might look at a card and say "neat, it is Juan's jersey number" or "hey, look at that, it is the first one" but I would never pay a premium for them or pursue them. In fact, I trade my cards with "Special" serial numbers and get a lot for 'em.

I just want one of the card. I don't care what serial number it is. There are already enough cards for me to pursue without having to add in special serial numbered versions as well.

Uh oh, here we go again LOL. If you have two #ed cards, one is #19 and the other is #44, which which you rather have?? Of course #19. Some of us would pay a premium for that, some like you don't care. Just how it is.
