Out of curiosity, I just don't get, why are you burning the cards?
It seems to me burning the cards makes as much sense as sending a bunch of MINT to a wallet and then burning it so the coins are lost forever.
I mean you can do whatever you want with your own property, but if it is rational to destroy some of the cards you worked/labored to create, wouldn't it also be rational to destroy some of the MINT you worked/labored to create?
If it is not rational, why are you doing it?
If it is rational, then why don't you destroy some MINT too and send some coins to the card you are burning up, and by destroying the MINT, make MINT rarer too???
Users may be familiar with general coin burn and why such a thing would be done in various scenarios. Why not play with supply and demand concepts in a unique and verifiable manner? Fun burn vids serve as marketing and promotion and adjust the initial supply for true Lotus rarity. Have you ever seen minty green fire? It is magical.

I suppose burning actual mintcoins could be done as well if that excites you.
But consider this...
John Doe receives a Mint Card. He can verify that only #XX exist and see that half of the initial cards were burned. This allows John and everyone around him to understand the true rarity of his collectable.
On the other hand, John Doe burns a bitcoin. He starts a website on why his remaining bitcoins are worth more based on this burn and shows this website to someone whom he then tries to sell the remaining coins to. Does this make the coins more valuable to the buyer or the marketplace in a real world scenario? Unlikely. 21 Million vs. 54.
