REAL PEOPLE TRADING CARDS

REAL PEOPLE TRADING CARDS

SAN FRANCISCO (Wireless Flash) – Sports stars aren’t the only ones who have their own trading cards – a San Francisco company has started a line featuring regular John and Jane Does. The so-called “People Cards” contain photographs and vital stats on average folks like “Al,” a laborer who habitually passes gas in public and “Barbi,” a young woman who likes to flash people. Co-founder Todd Herman swears the people appearing on People Cards are “100 percent real,” and they all volunteered their photos over the internet. Herman says some folks have actually started collecting the human trading cards, which come in packs of eight and sell for around $3. So far, there are 105 “Average Joes” and “Plain Janes” in circulation and the company is at work on a second set of schmoes.
