Dr. Fauci card sets one day record for Sales!

Dr. Anthony Fauci first-pitch baseball card breaks Topps record for sales in just 24 hours

It was on sale for only 24 hours, but it broke company records.

The Topps NOW limited edition baseball trading card featuring Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, set an all-time print record run for the franchise, selling 51,512 cards, the company said.

The card features a photo of Fauci throwing out the first pitch during last Thursday's MLB season opening game between the Washington Nationals and the New York Yankees. In the image, Fauci is shown from behind home plate, wearing a Nationals jersey and hat and a mask that commemorates the team's 2019 World Series Championship.

was not even invited to throw a first pitch for the Yankees game in August. He is so jealous of Fauci that he made that up.

Yankees Pitch. Both Came as a Surprise.
The president’s announcement that he would pitch at Yankee Stadium on Aug. 15 startled the team’s officials, who had not scheduled such an event.

I want to have this card as a reminder of a hero in 2020 and the fight against COVID-19

I also live that this will piss off Trump by becoming one of the most popular and collected baseball cards of all times
