Any F*** Face Error cards?

There are definitely F*** Faces but no errors.

Have they released a traded set yet with Cheney and Manchin?

I’m waiting for the “in action” variations. Those will be awesome.

I'm not sure bathroom stall action shots at the local rest stop would be as popular as the classic 72 action shots from Topps.

Now that’s funny.

This was a fully funded kickstarter. So, yes, there is interest.

How in the world did only 219 people raise 60k plus for these? Did the ego's of some of these folks cause them to donate for another photo of themselves?

There were 2 10k+ slots in the kickstarter that were filled, who would logically do this for a set that will sell sub 10 bucks in the future?

"219 backers pledged $60,527 to help bring this project to life."

Something wrong in Whoville on this one.

Congressional Dartboards are a much better idea than cards.

A Dartboard Section could be added to the forum.

I can think of a few that would sell out very quickly.

I know Blowout bought a bunch of cases and has been selling them on their site. So that's one major card distributor that probably took a 10K package.

Don't you mean "Lack of Action" cards?

Now that is a clever comment, sir!

[Hirbonzig]

Don’t waste your time and money submitting these cards to be graded. They’ll all come back as UN-Authentic.

[mrreality68]

They would be great for bars and darts.

But they would be hard to authenticate because no one believes any of them are real

Reminds me of a time when I was interning at a plastics manufacturer. My department was having our morning meeting, and the window in our lab looked out onto the parking lot. The heads of the maintenance and engineering departments were walking through the parking lot. Our department head told us that on Labor Day, the company was sponsoring a fair. Our engineer asked if there would be a clown there, and one of the lab techs looked at our engineer, looked out the window at the two department heads, then looked back at the engineer and goes "There are a lot of clowns here."

I don't want to get political here, but Bernie Sanders is so far left they'd never be able to get him centered on a card...

I guess it's too obvious to ask if, like 51 Topps, these come with red and blue backs.
