The answer is "James Holzhauer"

Who is going to be on a trading card soon?


What set will it be? Autographs? B)
Love him or hate him, he is one of the most amazing Jeopardy players I have ever seen.

    Not sure about the trading card, but I'm sure he's at least thinking about a sports gambling website of some sort because as you probably know, he is a self-proclaimed professional sports gambler.

    Could be some sort of gambling website affiliate commission setup of sorts, with him offering the public his game picks, when they sign up on his gambling website link.

    With sports gambling becoming legal in more and more states, the sky's the limit for Holzhauer as to the amount of money he could make.

    That guy was amazing. I'm not sure how many times he won but I hear it was incredible. I would catch episodes over at my mom's house after I was done cutting her yard.

    I didn't know he's a gambler. James how did you do it? I'm counting cards. Vanna White's very sparkly, sparkly like a holiday and I'm definitely counting cards.

    <<< I didn't know he's a gambler. >>>

    Seemed to me that Alex Trebek would usually downplay this for various reasons.

    James Holzhauer claimed he was a professional gambler and because the term "professional gambler" in most cases is an oxymoron, I don't think Trebek really believed him.

    Hiya Logan

    Not sure on the card thing but the guy was incredible and fast!

    It made me think of Weird Al

    I lost on Jeopardy

    For those too young? It's a parody to the song by the Greg Kihn Band - "Jeopardy" - 1980s

    Hey Mike,
    I remember playing that song in my 1973 Mustang back in the day. B)
    Good Times!

    See you at the National!

    Not to take away from or insult anyone's collecting interests....Aside from friends and AG set collectors, maybe an extreme fan of the show itself, who actually wants something like that? Seriously?

    I will give consideration to just about any theme collection when it makes sense, especially autographs, but maybe I am just completely missing the boat here.

    I collect Dodgers stuff and especially autographs, so anyone remotely affiliated to the team in some historical regard would make me want to add their signature, and I am talking some really weird and/or questionable parallels in some cases (organist, Team Doctor, mascot, Pilot, etc) aside from the standard players, coaches, executives, owners, broadcasters, etc. so I get it to some level, but I don't get this kind of autograph at all. There are many more autographs in this issue that boggle my mind as well.

    I collect Steve Garvey, Dodgers and signed cards. Collector since 1978.

    So it's a bad thing to be a fan of an intelligent person?

    This one could work. Holzhauer was on Jeopardy. Trebek hosts Jeopardy. Trebek is a Dodgers fan.

    I think they felt the tie in was his sports gambling career. Put his card in with a "Sports cards" issue.

    I've got a few extra Holzhauer cards. I'll trade for a Ken Jennings or Charles Van Doren if anybody has them.

    Hiya Logan

    Did you pull the card?

    Definitely a cool card for the non-sport collectors on the social scene.

    The guy was incredible to watch.

    I definitely don't have that much knowledge or that quick.
