Clout: Buxom Clinton pic seemed like a good idea at the timePhiladelphia Daily NewsA BIG CHUNK of the baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., has come to the National Constitution Center for a show opening today. One treasure in the "Baseball as America" show is a rare 1910 Honus Wagner Piedmont cigarettes baseball card. The last 1910 Wagner to be auctioned sold for $1.245 million.Clout now brings you another valuable rarity: The 2008 Upper Deck Hillary Clinton card.The Hall of Fame doesn't have one.A check of eBay yesterday morning showed one selling for $3,899.How did this happen?Like most bad things, it began with a good idea."We wanted this set to be light and humorous and chronicle presidential history," explained Terry Melia, Upper Deck's public relations manager. "We married each candidate to a character or moment in baseball history."The cards (sprinkled through the regular baseball card set at a ratio of one per every eight packs) feature a caricature of each presidential candidate in a baseball role. Mitt Romney, for example, is seen as Carlton Fisk, waving his famous home run just past the foul pole in the 1975 World Series.http://www.philly.com/dailynews/columnists/clout/20080215_Clout__Buxom_Clinton_pic_seemed_like_a_good_idea_at_the_time.html
