Does anyone have the rare Chris Frankel card that was pulled because he was performing an obscene gesture in the picture? I hear they tried to destroy all copies of it, but a few collectors managed to hang on..

1987 Topps is a solid design.

Nice. I think someone with a lot of time on their hands could turn quizbowl into a pretty amusing trading card game. The different types of cards would correspond to categories like science, history or literature. The battle mechanic would involve converting tossups, with different player cards having different strengths/special abilities based on the topic, difficulty and rival player.

Will Turner was planning something like this in early 2006. I knew that the Bruce Arthur card "summoned Teapot Dome", whatever that means.
