    Yikes. That's one of the worst photoshop jobs I've ever seen.

    Yep. Totally lame. Jon McNaughton glorifies Trump in a similar way, but at least he has the decency to do it with some skill. That here... words fail me.

    Aren't they slapped-together with his head being Photoshopped onto cheap drawings? Some of them have his head depicted in weird ways.

    My grandmother still insists that she'll sell her beanie babies for a fortune when the market for them picks up again.

    Well, had I bought, I couldn't resist selling at least 1/2 the collection and taking the 350% profit. Also, I would be selling the individual cards going for 5k+ each.

    In a market, you need buyers and sellers. I imagine the trading volume will slow down at some point.

    I wonder if the prices will hold up or collapse soon.

    You do? Seriously? I wonder whether Donald Trump will hold up or collapse soon! :(

    I think it's impossible to make such a weird head look normal. That hairdo! Even Photoshop doesn't have a "remove weird" button.

    Maybe there'll be a "dead cat bounce" at the very bottom. :(

    It's not (just) drawings. I'm not super skilled at Photoshop myself, but I can tell that these things have been pasted together from at least 3 or 4 real photos (possibly more). A skilled designer can use 6-10 photos to make something amazing that the average person wouldn't be able to easily tell is Photoshop. These... do not appear to have been touched by a competent designer. The compositions themselves are just all wrong and have been pasted together in an unnatural way. It doesn't even look like a stylistic choice; it looks like laziness.

    Yes, they're poorly rendered, many using images lifted from other sites. But that's not the designers' fault. They had to change to the year-too-late NFT after Trump's original idea had to be abandoned. Apparently, it involved a Sesame Street character with bad grammar who giggles when you tickle him....

    @Charles Fout Back a few posts ago, in this thread, Charles and I were talking about New Orleans. I just heard this song on my favourite station - Jazz-FM 91.1 - my favourite show - "Gumbo Kitchen" and I think it's appropriate as we count down to Christmas. Hope you enjoy.

    The Day it Snows on Christmas (in New Orleans) - Allen Toussaint

    There'll be no crazy down on Bourbon Street
    The second line is gonna lose the beat
    They won't be having fun at Mardi Gras
    And all the Cajuns going to move to Arkansas

    Yeah, the alligator's going to fly
    And doubloons will rain from the sky
    And the Pontchartrain will freeze, and we all are gonna skate
    The day it snows on Christmas, yeah
    In New Orleans, the day it snows on Christmas, yeah, yeah

    There'll be no flavor to the beans and rice
    And Mr. Emeril will forget the spice
    Well, let me tell you 'bout the odds of that
    Just like trying to hold the mighty Mississippi back

    Yeah, the alligator's going to fly
    And doubloons will rain from the sky
    And the Pontchartrain will freeze, and we all are gonna skate
    The day it snows on Christmas, yeah
    In New Orleans, the day it snows on Christmas, yeah, yeah

    Don't take no skis down to the levee
    Don't take no sleigh down to Monkey Hill, no, no
    Santa ain't bringing no snow this year
    And he never will

    The coffee won't have any chicory
    The moss will fall right off the live oak tree
    Tchoupitoulas won't have one pothole
    And the saints'll go marching to the Super Bowl

    Yeah, the alligator's gone to fly
    And doubloons will fall from the sky
    And the Pontchartrain will freeze, and we all are gonna skate
    The day it snows on Christmas, yeah
    In New Orleans, the day it snows on Christmas day

    I can't wait
    The day it snows on Christmas, yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah
    Mm-mm
    Merry Christmas, y'all!
