High Tech Sports Trading Cards

Miss Cellania — Mon, 23 May 2011 15:03:03 +0000

Old-fashioned sports trading cards came with a piece of gum (they actually were a bonus for buying the gum). The next generation of trading cards comes with a LCD screen and 20 minutes of video about the player! Oh, they are still made mostly of cardboard, but will hold 2GB of storage. How do you get them?

The special video cards will be limited edition inserts in Panini’s Totally Certified Basketball card line. The packs will include normal cards as well. Apparently, you will never know if you are getting a video card or not. A pack of five cards is about $20.

How well do you remember the classic Garbage Pail Kids? Today’s Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss presents a “Who’s who” that will test your memory. Link
