Derek Jeter w/ George Bush & Mickey Mantle card

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

Don't know how many of you out there collect or collected baseball cards in the past, but I found this item interesting from Friday's news; the latest Derek Jeter baseball card in the 2007 Topps set has an unusual error on it.
It seems when the card was printed, somebody put a photo of both President Bush and Mickey Mantle in the background. They weren't suppose to be there and was never caught before it was printed. Now, a card that was worth maybe a dollar is selling up to $100 on e-bay. Topps said that they might not correct the error, so without it being change, it will never be rare. The only thing this has done is inflated the price of the 2007 Topps baseball card boxes.
