The Pope.....WTH

Are you kidding me Topps? We officially have a 'Pope' card.

I will want to check the stats on the back of the card to see if the Pope does, in fact, take a Sh** in the Woods or not.

Is Topps Leaf now?

White smoke image variation, chefs kiss

circling the drain

That smoke variation...just looks like a cloud...heaven maybe? I think having the chimney on the side with the smoke coming out would have helped.

I never thought a Fauci card would be as popular as it once was, so why not.

My question is: Does Topps need to sign him to sell for profit or is he public domain as any Pope likely is?

And if they do need te sign him, how in the world do they have connections at the Vatican already?

I guess I don't know how photo rights works in Vatican City but he was out in public and someone took his picture. Do you need someone's rights to print up a photo of them? I'm guessing not (in the US) because paparazzi exist.

Public figures, which he is, can be published for news. I'm wondering if it's different for what amounts to merchandise.

No relic cards? That’s a big miss! Catholics are the OG relics people.

I realize authentic Vatican-used vestments would be hard to come by, but they could have thrown in a splinter of wood or piece of a veil from a lesser known saint or something. You can buy those things on the second-hand market pretty easily.
