From the Associated Press and Atlanta's WXIA-TV (NBC Channel 11) comes a story of slimy justice:
Take some trading cards picturing a disgraced NFL superstar. Add some dog slobber and teethmarks. What do you get?Ha! Great idea! Give that woman a milk bone.
The most valuable Michael Vick cards—by far—on eBay, that's what.
Collector Rochelle Steffen of Cape Girardeau, Mo., gave every Vick card she owned to her dogs and let them go to town on the images of the Atlanta Falcons quarterback who is scheduled to plead guilty to a federal dogfighting charge Monday.
Once Monte, her 6-year-old Weimaraner, and Roxie, her Great Dane puppy, were done worrying them, nearly two dozen $1-$10 cards were crumpled, crimped, chewed, torn and generally in a sorry state. Some even had corners missing.
As of Thursday evening, the highest bid on the lot of 22 cards had risen to $455 and more than 2,000 people had viewed the posting. Seventy-seven people already have bid on the auction, which ends Sunday.
The next-most expensive Vick cards—well-preserved specimens from his rookie year—were going for less than half the price of the gnawed ones. [Emphasis added.]
And while I'm on the topic of Mike "Kill Doggy Dogg" Vick, here's a hilarious video from National Lampoon's Lemmings Productions:
BIG ASS CHUNKS OF LITTLE DOGS!!!!!
