These are actually STICKERS! (i'm not sure if he has tried to peel one off yet). They are typically much smaller than real cards as well. I actually kind of like them, and have been trading for some of them. But do NOT go overboard.... You may be hard-pressed to find someone else to trade these with later. Around my area, one card shop is trying to sell these for $1.00 each, but no one buys them (except me... I buy all of the sticker copies of "Bill" because I like pasting them all over my binders and laptop ;-) Brian Brokaw "King of the Bill"
