Rudy was running for president at the time of this card, and during the campaign he was known to have told reporters and supporters that he was a Red Sox fan despite being the Mayor of New York City for 7 years. Somehow, Topps found this to be a good gimmick card and so they printed this and a red variation. Given the political environment and housing market crash, one wouldn’t think Presidential Campaign cards would be in the works. But they did in releasing this one in the base set and a 16 card Insert set called Campaign 2008. It’s an interesting switch to baseball card collecting.
