Anyone collect Razor Poker trading cards?

[LandonM]

(Forgive if this is in the wrong place, but I couldn't seem to find a forum where trading cards would fit in- also, spare me the "(insert whatever here) are/is gay" comments)

My nephew asked for a box of packages of these things for Christmas. They're just like baseball cards, only of poker players (duh). I guess there are some licensing issues, as there are a number of "biggies" that are not included (Doyle, Ivey), but most are there.

The coolest part are the autographed cards. Each box guarantees 2 autographed cards. Poor nephew was bummed because his box contained autographed cards of Shawn Sheikhan and Michael Gracz, so I bought him a Hellmuth and Negreanu auto off ebay to make up for it.

As a result I got hooked on them myself, now I'm only missing 4 cards for a complete set of autographs (Juanda, Hachem (both ultra short prints) Cloutier and Laak).

Anyone else collect them?

I'm more of a desert storm guy myself, but these seem pretty kickass. <font color="white">Queer.</font>

I asked Forrest and Matusow on FTP how many they signed- Forrest said 1K and Matusow said 800, so I guess the short prints are REALLY short printed if they aren't considered to be such.

Maybe Fossilman will tell us how many he signed, seeing as his is considered to be the Holy Grail of the autograph set and sells for the most $$. (**Hint Hint**)

I used to be into football cards back in the day and these seem like they are pretty interesting. Never thought I would see it.

Guess what I got doyle brunson's rookie card and guess what else I don't let anyone see it so don't even think about it newbs.

Since I used to be really into trading cards I just scanned ebay.

I find it hilarious that they have signed/jersey cards just like major sports.

These things are so kooky I think I might just have to collect them myself.

Wow, you're eight years old, but you have a nephew? That's weird.

But are they game used jerseys with actual sweat and crumbs.

The description from the back of the card on one of these auctions says, "Actual piece of shirt worn in professional poker tournament."
