A Florida businessman is creating a series of trading cards based on the lives of people killed in the Sept. 11 attacks, an enterprise some victims' families call crass but others have embraced.

About 20 families gave Kingsley Barham, former stockbroker from Delray Beach, Fla., biographic information and photographs of their relatives who died in the attacks to use on the cards.

"It shows what we lost as a nation and the world," Barham said. "People don't have an idea what they lost. Collectively the cards can tell the story of what we lost."

The cards are expected to be available at retail outlets in about two months, he said

As exports into Pakistan and other Terrorist loving countries I bet. Sickening!

This is capitalism at its worst, anything for a buck, this idea is disgusting to me. However, in another form his idea could have merit. I think a memorial with each person's photo and a small biography would be a good memorial to those who were lost, and would put it into perspetive for future generations.
