Itβs wild.
The only one that kind of makes sense is Deontay Wilder and Obama
Thatβs why to go get an Audi Crooks 1/1 auto with Grover Cleveland on the card.

You can get Leaf auto cards a bit cheaper, because they donβt have a license. So the team name airbrushed away looks bad.
But other than that, you can get an Audi Crooks 1/1 auto card with Grover Cleveland.
I love how these make no sense.
Had to Google this to figure out what's going on. Apparently Leaf does a "President's Day Box Set" with seemingly random combinations of athlete/president.

Itβs so random, it doesnβt make sense.

As a historian, I have to get this, right?
I feel it even qualifies for R&D money.
A 1/1 Dominique auto with William Henry Harrison in the background makes no sense unless the history gods, the basketball gods, and the card gods came together to give me a gift.
You can really see it here.
Happy Black History Month

Great reference!
Sean Astin and Louis Gosset Jr at their best.

But this time itβs athletes at IMG that save the school from the Mexican cartel.
Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.
And you know why?
Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.
We were told to scrub "biodiversity" from our websites because of this shit.
