The Topps NOW limited edition baseball trading card featuring Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, set an all-time print record run for the franchise, selling 51,512 cards, the company said.


quote:

The company's previous record was for a card of Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., which sold 19,396 copies and featured Guerrero's first hit.


quote:

"I feel a little embarrassed and humbled," Fauci told CNN about the card sales. "I hope that Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle are not looking up at me saying, ‘What the heck is going on here?’ "

That's because people that throw worse than him are easily parted with their money

I think the cards are $9.99 each as well.



Heard Trump cancelled his first pitch for 8/15... Sad.

A bunch of idiots thinking they'd have a valuable card to sell someday down the road.

Well, he thinks he's a king, so maybe he's just used to being on a throne talking down to people.

Nothing says "collectable and valuable" like "all-time print record run."

What a smug POS. They're not, Fauci. They're laughing at your pathetic attempt.

Gotta be because it was so bad. I've been trying to figure out why since I first saw that news. Kind of dumb, really.
