Jeter, Mantle, and Bush Card Could be Topps on eBay

As if Derek Jeter, and the NY Yankees in general, needed anymore attention than is already being foisted upon them, but several news reports are citing that Topps trading cards has released a digitally manipulated Derek Jeter card featuring George W. Bush and Yankee legend Mickey Mantle. Mantle can be seen on the lower left, watching from the dugout, and President Bush is seen waving from the stands to the right.
Many news reports are specifically citing eBay as a likely destination for the special card, and they have been on the money. Hundreds of auctions have already sprouted up. A spokesperson has said the card will be changed when Topps issues a complete set at midseason.
Of course in my eyes nothing Topps does could ever be better than the faux woodgrain borders of the their legendary 1987 set.
