No fewer than 90 cards highlight key moments of his life, feature over 200 photos, list trivia, and provide “Obama’s only-in-America life story”. For the pathetic fanboy in your life who’s found his life empty following the election.
“The presidential election of Barack Obama is a milestone event destined to be written about and discussed for generations,” said Topps CEO Scott Silverstein. “Through the medium of its familiar trading cards, Topps is proud and honored to offer consumers with a one-of-a-kind keepsake of this remarkable moment.”…
Each of the 90 cards comprising the Barack Obama Inaugural Edition tell a different and compelling story of his life—from his childhood in Hawaii to his college days at Columbia and Harvard…from his job as a community organizer on Chicago’s South Side to his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004…from his whirlwind presidential campaign to his rousing victory speech on election night. Poignant relationships with his parents, grandparents, wife, children and other family members are featured, as well as those with political figures and global leaders, in photos and words, many culled from Obama’s own speeches and writings.
I don’t fault Topps for creating the cards. The market for worship merchandise, from commemorative plates to specialized coins, is there and Topps is looking to cash-in. I’d do the same if I ran a company that specialized in commemorative merchandise. The pathetic aspect here is the fanboys who’ll actually spend $1.99 per pack to worship The One.
Folks, get over it. He’s a Chicago politician with little to his name. Without a teleprompter he sounds like a blithering idiot. He hasn’t even been inaugurated yet and he’s been canonized by his army of worshipers. Beyond pathetic.
