Upper Deck Pulls Hot Hillary

by The Editors on March 3, 2008

HillaryThe Carlsbad-based trading card company Upper Deck had originally included a Hillary Clinton card in their “presidential deck.” But right before the ship date someone at the company decided that the Hillary card went a little too far and tried to pull them (creating an instant collectors item).

The Hillary Clinton cards — a characterization that matched her with stripper Morganna the Kissing Bandit, notorious for dashing onto baseball fields and planting kisses on unsuspecting players during the 1980s — were to have been manually pulled from the “Presidential Predictors” set, says Kerri Stockholm, director of sports marketing for Carlsbad-based Upper Deck.

Way to wuss out, Upper Deck.
