    Over the last 24 hours, fans of ex-President Donald Trump have sat huddled in their chairs, waiting with bated breath for a supposed announcement the once tweeter-in-chief promised would blow their socks off. He posted a video to his Truth Social page showing an image of him in a kind of superhero garb, sporting pecs he most certainly does not have, as laser beams shoot from his eyes. What could this mean? What apocalypse was coming? On Thursday the grand surprise was finally revealed and it was nothing but another horrific NFT project that, in Trump’s words, featured “amazing ART...

    Even Steve Bannon and other key advisers to former President Donald Trump have had enough of his latest stunts — demanding everyone behind his wacky NFT collection be “fired today.” “I can’t do this anymore,” an exasperated-sounding Bannon said Thursday on his show, “The War Room,” when discussing the widely derided collection the 45th president launched the previous day.

  • Trump's shameless money grab: Donald's anticipated 'MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT' turns out to be sweepstake for his $99 Superman baseball cards - as his popularity craters just weeks after announcing 2024 run

    Donald Trump left his supporters on the edge of their seats when he touted a 'major announcement' just weeks after he revealed his run for president again in 2024. Speculation swirled that it could be the announcement of a rally after a pause since the midterms or a move that could upend the Republican primaries. Despite the anticipation, it turned out to be a line of his own digital trading cards, costing $99 each and featuring him in various poses - including Superman and as a cowboy with a hunting rifle. 'They will be gone, I believe, very quickly!' Trump...

    Look, I don’t know what Donald Trump is trying to accomplish with his “Trump Digital Trading Cards,” but I do know P.T. Barnum ain’t got nothin’ on The Donald. I mean we’re talking MyPillow dude Mike Lindell-quality stuff, here.Here’s something else I know: Whatever Trump was thinking was wrong. Way wrong.As my colleague Bonchie reported earlier, Trump on Wednesday teased a coming “major announcement” on Thursday morning. His major announcement, he said, would come because “America needs a superhero.” On Thursday, that announcement came: Trump Digital Trading Cards. No, really.Ah, but hold on here a minute, some of you ask,...

    TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - Karl Kissner picked up a soot- covered cardboard box that had been under a wooden dollhouse in his grandfather's attic. Taking a look inside, he saw baseball cards bundled with twine. They were smaller than the ones he was used to seeing. But some of the names were familiar: Hall of Famers Ty Cobb, Cy Young and Honus Wagner. Then he put the box on a dresser and went back to digging through the attic. It wasn't until two weeks later that he learned that his family had come across what experts say is one of...

    Remember when you were a kid and you used to wait for the new Topps cards to come out every year? Remember begging Mom to buy you a pack of the cards with the stick of gum inside? Every year they had football player cards, and baseball cards, and basketball cards, and the politician cards. Oh wait, scratch that last one. Come to think of it, I don't recall any Carter or Reagan cards when I was a boy. Now Topps is jumping on the Obama Superstar bandwagon and releasing fanboi photocards of the Obama pre-presidency. Obama's rookie season cards...

    This year’s Topps N.F.L. card set includes two Tomlinsons: LaDainian, a running back with the San Diego Chargers; and Wyat, a staff sergeant based at the United States Army Recruiting Battalion in Kansas City, Mo. “It’s an unbelievable thrill,” said Wyat, a Kansas City native who grew up rooting for the Chiefs. “Some of the guys here have been teasing me about it. They’re now calling me Rookie Card.” Sergeant Tomlinson, 29, is one of 11 Armed Forces Fans of the Game nominated by their home teams. Their cards are among the 440 that make up the Topps set. Randomly...

    A thread about a cooking oil explosion prompted me, for some unearthly reason, to remember a sticker satirising a household cooking product which I once affixed to my desk lamp, when (approximately) Richard Nixon was still the head of the White Household: Now, come on. You know you all (most of you all, anyway) had some berserk little collecting things going when you were kids, too...one of mine was the infamous Wacky Packages stickers (they were made by Topps, the baseball card people), when I was in around fifth through seventh grade...here was one of the original Wackies that was...

    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." After initially considering the cards as...
