Ok, Topps, this is getting ridiculous.

First we have the Jeter, Bush, Mantle card in 2007, which I thought was kind of neat. Then, we have the SP's of older players in 2009 and 2010. I guess I'm ok with that. I could do without it, but it's kind of neat. Then, it starts getting a little bit out of hand with the "Pie in the Face" short prints of Yankees players. Now, I find out that there are Abe Lincoln short prints of Cubs players.

Any chance there is a list of the ones with Abe in it?

well, they were recently emancipated.

I think the Cubs won their last World Series when Lincoln was President!
( I know that is technically inaccurate, but I think Cubs fans get the point! )

How about shots of players scratching their sacks when they think no one's looking? The backs could even make a John Kruk puzzle!! Think about it....

Lincoln was from Illinois. It would be like placing JFK in Red Sox cards because he was from Boston.
Come to think of it, they could have also put President Obama's face in those Cubs cards...but perhaps Topps learned from its 2007 Bush card that it might raise some debate because there are collectors who aren't necessarily fond of the guy. So, "Honest Abe" fits the bill nicely.

Isn't Obama a White Sox fan?

I was thinking that was the way Topps was going to go with series 2--makes sense to put Obama on White Sox variations.

Yep. Here's the thread
Maybe it is just me, but with the redemption cards, variation cards and all the inserts, this is the most FUN I've had ripping and collecting cards in a long time. Sure, they are not worth much, but I enjoy chasing them and it is not costing me a small fortune to do so.
I've actually built the series 1 set, am working on the insert sets, have been trading my redemptions and have been trading inserts with other collectors. I have not done any of these things in many, many years.
