Default Topps Now Dr Fauci Card

This is not intended for a political or even medical discussion. SCD’s most recent magazine reports that its 24 hour sale of him throwing out the first pitch sold 51,512 cards at $9.99. Last I saw prices were all over the place on ebay. Previous record was 19,396 for Guerrero’s first hit

Topps has done some other politicians on cards. The 90 GW Bush special issue card, the 2007 Topps Jeter card with Mantle in the dugout and President G Bush in the stands. And in 2008 they inserted Giuliani into a Red Sox post season celebration.

Anyone know of others where a public figure was inserted into a baseball card

Adjacent to this topic, Mark Jackson's 1990 Hoops card features the Menedez Brothers in the courtside seats behind him.

Cameo Appearance, as Barack Obama is not even listed on the card.


One of the current hockey superstars was in the background of a card from the 90s. Patrick Kane?

Correct on Patrick Kane. He was in the stands and his photo was taken for a hockey card.

1994-96 Pinnacle Sylvain Turgeon.

Also -- not a famous person on that level but one of my Beckett teammates was on a Loren Meyer Basketball card as she was in the Beckett seats the night the photo was taken and you can see her face.

In addition, long-time hobby dealers and nice people Phil and Joan Spector are on the background of a 1990-91 Pro Set Hockey card.
