I would think the 1991 Bowman Pudge should be in the poll over the other 1991 cards listed.
Not a lot of iconic Rangers cards. |

Not a lot to pick from here. The Ryan tuxedo card was a hot item for awhile, and it's probably what I remember first for the Rangers.
Ruben Sierra is funny for me. My dad always took an interest in my collection when I was a kid, and he liked to buy me old Kansas City A's cards of players that he remembered when he was my age. He left the modern stuff (at the time) to me mostly, but he was all in on Ruben Sierra. He kept buying them for me, and just knew we were going to cash in someday. I still have them too, along with the A's cards.

I think I plead the fifth on this one and abstain from voting.

I know all of the cards in the poll like it's common knowledge but just today learned who Jeff Burroughs is.
It blows my mind I've never heard of an MVP winner. I mostly collect modern now. Back in the day when I collected vintage, I stuck with post war 52-71. I guess guys like him don't get a lot of media exposure these days so it can't be that crazy I'd overlook (I'm 35 , so obviously never watched 70s guys live, or even many 80s guys for that matter) |

As a Rangers fan, I have to go with 89 UD Ryan football. I would also add 86 Fleer Update Sierra.

The Ryan Football card is about as iconic as this franchise can get. They’ve had great teams and great players but that card was as popular/hot/famous as any other Rangers card. He was one of the toughest players in mlb history. Only thing better would be this card. After getting shotgunned by Bo Jackson he just kept on pitching:

‘90 Donruss.
Even though ‘90 Donruss’ design can be described as being awful, it’s certainly memorable enough...and certainly produced in gargantuan quantities. Plus the card’s a RR of a once hugely popular player with a couple MVPs. It’s also a well-known error and was most highly sought after at its release and for years afterwards. Neither Ryan choice has a Ranger jersey, I believe.
