In this undated digitally altered image provided by the Topps baseball card company President Bush smiles and waves from the stands, right, and Mickey Mantle looks on from the dugout at left, as Derek Jeter swings his bat. A spokesperson for the Topps company said that somewhere between the final proofing of the card and its printing - when it was too late to stop it - someone within the company played a joke and inserted Bush and Mantle into the photograph.

Haha, thats good. But the pic doesnt even make sense without Dubya and Mantle. How can Jeter have the bat there, facing us, with his feet like that? its doesnt make sense, what was he doing?

unless he is closer to us than the catcher, and swung really hard. ok, I can see it now

I don't believe them. It's just a ploy to get people to buy their cards. Is it in every one of Jeter's cards or just a select few? If it only in a select few, that would jump the value of the card, in turn upping sales.

The card is going for over $200 in some cases on ebay.
