America's Pastime


If you value baseball cards and love politics then 2008 Topps has the collectible item for you. They’ve decided to include twelve Presidential Candidate cards in their regular baseball card line. Six Democrats and six Republicans have been selected.

Front runners, Obama, Clinton and McCain are sure to be the most sought after cards, but unfortunately for collectors the candidate set will not be sold separately. One card will be available in every ninth pack of twelve cards, so if you’re looking to build a set you might want to check the web.

This isn’t your usual sports card memorabilia, but that doesn’t make it any less collectible. This year is a historically notable election year, with candidates including an African American and a Female.

Some of the cards feature candidates that have already dropped out of the race but don’t worry, who knows what these candidates will go on to do in the future! Al Gore lost his race for President, but now he’s a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Imagine what his baseball cards worth would be.
