Barack Obama is already a Marvel comic-book superhero, so perhaps an "Inaugural Edition" Topps collectors' set of trading cards was to be expected. It retails for $1.99 per pack—or a 24-pack box for about $50. The 90 cards follow the 44th president's life from his boyhood in Hawaii through his college days to his election to the U.S. Senate and presidential run. Perhaps there's an action card of Obama proposing some legislation. The set includes 18 stickers and "a free poster in every box!" As befitting these times of austerity, bubble gum is not included.
