Looks like Barack Obama won a tad more than just the measly Presidency on Tuesday. He also won the right to be featured on his own trading card (hooray!) in Upper Deck’s ‘Presidential Predictor’ series. The card will only be distributed through select hobby shops across the US, with no shop receiving more than 100 cards, so as to keep demand high.
The back of President Obama’s card reads:
With his victory in this year’s U.S. presidential election, Barack Obama made history in more ways than one. Not only was he the first African-American to be nominated by either party as a candidate, but he is now the first of his race to be sworn in as Commander-in-Chief. Just like Tony Dungy’s accomplishment in 2007 when he became the first African-American head coach in NFL history to win a Super Bowl, Obama did the same for White House politics in 2008. “Change We Can Believe In” was his campaign slogan throughout the year. Now it’s time to start believing.
Here is a full list of shops around the country which will be distributing the cards as a gift with purchase of any Upper Deck product.
This one should fit in the Clubhouse Cancer trading card collection quite nicely next our prized autographed 1978 Larry Biitner.
And, just for shits & giggles, here is a pic of Obama and Governor MILF we would have loved to see come true:
