The article says that for the first time in about 100 years, Topps will feature non-athletes on baseball cards. Kate is one of a few with Michigan ties. She is known to be a Michigan fan by this point. Michael Phelps is another and everybody's favorite fake-Buckeye Kirk Herbstreit is also getting one. Click link for complete list.

I don't know how many of you still collect baseball cards, but some of you parents now have an excuse ot screen the packs you buy for your kids.

How the hell is Kirk Herbstreit a "fake buckeye" when he was a four year letter winner?!

My son goes to med school at Vandy, and my wife and I visit fairly often.  Nashville is a terrific place to spend time and leagues better than Columbus on just about any level you can name,

As for Kate Upton and baseball cards, come up with a couple of dozen different cards showing her in an assortment of good poses, and I am back in the card game after decades of being away.

Topps' Allen & Ginter has been released annually for quite a few years now. They have put in non-sports personalities every year and they power the sale of the product.

Kate will definitely be the hottest women ever included. ;)

LOL...Scroll down and read that guy's comment at the bottom. "I wouldn't touch her with a pole"...right

Your pole would be doing the fucking jack hammer...

Sorry.  I love Kate as much as the rest of America.  However, a baseball card is just that.  I have fond memories of using my rookie Johnny Bench card, a clothes pin, and a 20" 5 speed with an 8-ball shifter.  It was 1975.

Later I learned that Bench's card was worth about $75.  But that was the fun of collecting those cards.  Sorry Kate, I love you but you have to go.

I must say I am shocked (disappointed?) to not see the glorious .gif posted in this thread.  I thought it was a sure thing when I saw the title.
