A friend gave me this “desktop baseball” game a few years back. It comes with 4 magnetic “cards” like this one. There is a booklet which features the 4 players’ fictional names, so I have a checklist. There is also fictional teams— should I add it? If so, is it gaming or baseball? ------------------------------- I don't know why I have so many Freddy Garcia and David Legwand cards.

IMO, no. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

Is it a card? - no

Is it made by a card manufacturer? - no

Therefore, by TCDB guidelines, no.

Besides, these aren't even of real people or teams (or fictional characters from another setting like a Bugs Bunny or Elmer Fudd).

Neat looking game card....but I concur with what has been stated so far. Upper Deck did a similar thing with football although the game cards aren't nearly as nice looking. ------------------------------- My two-cents is worth slightly more than a penny. -- Chad --

Chad, are you venturing outside the bounds of Topps now? You're becoming such a well-rounded guy.

Joshua....nope, I am firmly entrenched in Topps Football. I have a bunch of the Gridiron game cards from a large lot I bought last summer. I would be VERY happy to trade them for Topps Football. Interested? ------------------------------- My two-cents is worth slightly more than a penny. -- Chad --

You already took all my Topps football! Well of those that matched.

If certain political movements succeed in having football eliminated due to its violent nature AND you end up collecting that last existing Topps football card, look me up for some Score, Fleer, Upper Deck, and a few variants therein.
