Add one of the most unusual rookie-era collectibles of Kirk Rueter with this 1993 Bicycle Rookies #9 Montreal Expos signed card.
The 1993 Bicycle Rookies Playing Cards set is one of the hobby's most unique baseball releases of the 1990s. Produced as a 54-card deck of playing cards, the set features many of baseball's top young prospects and emerging stars, with each player assigned a traditional playing card designation instead of a standard card number. Kirk Rueter appears as the 9 of Spades (#9) with the Montreal Expos. Produced in limited quantities compared to mainstream card sets, Bicycle Rookies remains a favorite among collectors of oddball and specialty baseball issues.
Kirk Rueter enjoyed a successful 13-year Major League career with the Montreal Expos and San Francisco Giants. After making his Major League debut with Montreal in 1993, the crafty left-hander was traded to San Francisco, where he became one of the National League's most dependable starting pitchers. Rueter finished his career with 130 victories, earned a 2000 National League All-Star selection, and helped the Giants capture the 2002 National League pennant, starting Game 4 of the World Series.
Issued during Rueter's rookie season, this scarce Bicycle card represents one of his earliest professional collectibles. Its distinctive playing-card format and limited production make it far less common than his traditional Topps, Fleer, Donruss, and Upper Deck rookie cards.
