| Clinton versus Obama: Upper Deck Predicts a Winner... |
|
While Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama continue to duke it out for the Democratic presidential nomination, the Upper Deck Company is predicting a winner with the release of its “Presidential Predictor” parody cards. Today, the sports card leader unveiled the new baseball card, which depicts Hillary Clinton holding up Barack Obama in a victorious celebration. The setting for Upper Deck’s latest political parody was inspired by Boston Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek hoisting up an elated Jonathan Papelbon following the final out of the 2007 Boston Red Sox World Series victory.
The insert card in question is just part of a second round of “Presidential Predictor” parody cards that Upper Deck originally launched in February. This second set of cards is randomly inserted in the company’s 2008 Upper Deck Baseball Series Two release. The cards, which hit store shelves in early June, will be inserted (on average) one in every six packs.
