If it happened to Upper Deck it can happen to TOPPS as well. I certainly hope that this card is not a fake. If it happened to Upper Deck it can happen to TOPPS as well.

What is the world coming to, an American hero suing a company that is a huge part of America's pastime. Bad "Buzz," BAD! From mod: He's aggressive about protecting his image rights. In Topps' case, they claim he was used in a news context per se.

Topps is always trying to build on to ways to bring the collectors closer to the game; this might be one way to do so. I recently picked up a pack of 2008 Donruss Threads baseball and I pulled a serial #'d jersey card of George H. Bush...the jersey piece is from George's Bush's baseball jersey that he played in at Yale! I love this card...I think it is so unique, but almost everyone I have showed it to (mostly non-collectors) questions its authenticity. I sort of agree in this case...collectors need more than just the card manufacturers name to stand behind the memorabilia. I would love to know how a baseball jersey that George Bush played in while attending Yale made it from his back to a baseball card...now that would be interesting.
