Sports card collecting

I have often wondered if you were to buy as many, say 1987 Donruss Jamie Moyer cards as you could and publicly destroy them, if you could move the needle on its value?
I would think that there would have to be sufficient demand for the particular player. There are plenty of 1 of 1 cards out there of various players that aren't worth a whole bunch. Now, if you could do that with a Michael Jordan card, then you've got a different ballgame going on.
