I like the idea of the trading cards.  List both their positive and more
dubious achievements.  And let the kids and collectors decide which ones are
worth more.

For years now kids have had a shortage of role models from their sports
heroes to rock musicians and Hollywood celebrities.  Whereas once you read
about their records now it's their criminal records.

It would be nice if kids had some real awareness of people who have achieved
greatness up in the world and actually used their money to help people and
the world in a major way.

Oh and by the way maybe they should start adding the rap sheets and steroid
use to the sports cards.  Afterall if the kids are going look up to these
people isn't it fair to let them know the good along with the bad?

>> So why not just call them baseball cards? Leave the currency alone and
create a new commodities market. Your local merchant might even accept them
in lieu of real currency.
