NEW YORK (UPI) -- Some lucky fan will find a baseball card worth $20,000 in a random box set of cards honoring New York Yankees slugger Babe Ruth, a card company official says.
Clay Lurashi, who serves as product development director for The Topps Co.'s Sterling line, said the one-of-a-kind card will be placed in one of the $300 sets as part of a random jackpot, the New York Post reported.
Lurashi said the offering was part of the company's new effort to release between 100 to 150 new cards based on the late home run king.
"Not everyone can afford to buy a Babe Ruth bat. We want to bring it closer for a Yankees fan," he said.
The Post said Topps, which gained exclusive rights to Ruth card sales last month, added swatches of one of Ruth's uniforms and a sliver of one of his bats to the special card, along with his autograph.
