Preview Gallery: 2009 Topps American Heritage Heroes Edition
We’ve gotten our hands on some 2009 Topps American Heritage Heroes Edition cards a bit early so we could soak up the Americana and historic cards that are found only in this type of trading card set.
Mr. Rogers now has a Topps trading card. Erin Brockovich now has a card. Robert Jarvik now has a card. Barack Obama now has a bunch more trading cards.
And several of New York City’s Finest — police officers and more who responded to the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 — now have cards.
It’s an interesting set that’s loaded with interesting stories.
To see just a few of the cards we found, click below.
What do you think of these types of cards? We suspect there will be a couple different camps with differing opinions, but we want to hear what you think via comments or e-mail.

That is the best pic they got of Mr Rogers? That is a crappy looking card.
I believe the images are all from when the subjects received their presidential medals…
