OK, I admit it. I'm a baseball card collector. Have been since I was 8. That's 42 years. Nowadays, every March, when the new cards come out, I go over to eBay and buy myself a new set. It's a rite of spring for me. A big deal. Well, this year, I go over to eBay, but something's wrong... First of all, the sets are more expensive... and people are selling them without the Jeter card. I do a little nosing around, and what do you imagine has happened...?
The folks at Topps have superimposed a picture of George W. Bush onto the Jeter card, THAT’S what!
In this undated digitally altered image provided by the Topps baseball card company President Bush smiles and waves from the stands, right, and Mickey Mantle looks on from the dugout at left, as Derek Jeter swings his bat. A spokesperson for the Topps company said that somewhere between the final proofing of the card and its printing - when it was too late to stop it - someone within the company played a joke and inserted Bush and Mantle into the photograph.
