Well now I have heard it all. I wonder if I will ever regret not getting a Topps Bernie Madoff baseball card as much as I regret thowing all of the Gretzky Rookie cards up against the wall and loosing them as a kid. Doubtful. I would take those hundreds of Gretzky cards I had as a kid any day. But if you like scumbags Topps has something right up your alley.

The Topps 2009 Allen & Ginter release will include cards of some 260 baseball players along with cards of historic figures and "world champions" from realms outside baseball. This year's product, though, will also nod to Madoff's financial chicanery as part of a group of cards featuring the "world's biggest hoaxes, hoodwinks and bamboozles." Among the other do-badders in the subset are Charles Ponzi, The Runaway Bride, and Enron. These cards feature 20 perpetrators of some of the most notorious pranks, dubious claims, and outright frauds of the last 2 centuries," boasts a Topps sell-sheet for the collection.
