The Topps Company, known for decades for its baseball cards, will be issuing a series of 2009 trading cards this summer featuring the “world’s biggest hoaxes, hoodwinks and bamboozles.” Among those featured in this set will be Bernard Madoff, Charles Ponzi, The Runaway Bride, and Enron. According to Topps, “these cards feature 20 perpetrators of some of the most notorious pranks, dubious claims, and outright frauds of the last 2 centuries.”
Fortune reports that packs of the cards will sell for $3 at retailers including Target and Wal-Mart, and the “odds of finding a Madoff will be one in 12 packs on average.”
