I just got this card in the mail today and I love it!!! In the past year I learned of the card and was patient. It popped back into my mind a few days ago and I found a set with a Donald 10. The set consists of 36 cards and is a fun set of cards from the 1980's that focuses on the power players politically in New York at the time. Donald Trump is featured as the bad guy Real Estate Tycoon. What makes collecting cards so fun is finding cards that you never knew existed. This card is not condition sensitive so there is no rarity element. The card looks great scanned and I think one of these signed has so much potential. I am not sure if one exists but it would be a really hot item signed I believe.

Interesting interview about the card from the creator.
The Donald!!!
Funny !!!
Thanks to the PSA card auction prices I was able to see quite a few transactions. There are currently 40 PSA 10's and most have been submitted by the person I purchased the three copies I did from.

It will be interesting to see what happens in the next 12 months and to see if the number of high grade copies really moves up a lot or not. It looks like someone might have found a warehouse find of quite a few nice sets.
So far there are no red flip signed copies and I have to think there are very few out there and it will be almost impossible to get one done now. This has the vintage Trump signature in the fitting color of gold. I am thrilled with this auto!
Here it is scanned. I love the bio on the back.
Interesting ride the card has taken, from a $200 card a couple years ago, down to a $60-70 card, and now back to $200.
Yes it has been. It is totally coincidental but one of my buys was the absolute bottom and the other two were $69.99 with the complete set.
I think it is a barometer for his popularity. It was high, dipped and now surging. Hope the card follows.
Hopefully I'll be able to pick one up on the next dip.
I have a client who is trying to buy one. I had him reach out to that seller and he has some at PSA now so it will be a few months until he offers more.
It is a fun card and in my view I think Trump is going to be the president for two terms so they may still have some room to run.
Either way a fun novelty card and something pro Trump fans can have fun with.
