Dr. Anthony Fauci has quickly become the most talked-about celebrity during the pandemic and people have been going crazy over him! Fans call themselves 'Fauci Fanatics' and there have been many memorabilia artifacts created in his image including a bobblehead, coffee mug that reads "In Fauci We Trust," and even a Christmas ornament.
And now, thanks to a graphic designer in Chicago, you can add trading cards to your fandom collection!
You can buy a 10-pack of Dr. Anthony Fauci trading cards that look and feel like vintage baseball memorabilia. The creator, David Stokes, said he spent a lot of time not only researching the doctor, so he could have accurate statistics/information on the back of the cards, but also finding the correct fonts to accurately match the vintage baseball cards he was basing them on.
Stoked scoured multiple articles, scientific journals, and even Fauci's Wikipedia entry to ensure accurate and relevant information was included.
The cards are available for purchase on Etsy for $16.50 per set.
Stokes has already sold 700 sets and donated some of the proceeds to the University of Chicago's COVID-19 "Healthcare Heroes" fund.
Fauci already had one baseball card made for him after his disastrous first pitch at the Nationals opening day that has become the best selling card in Topps history, and now you can buy a whole set to help support the doctor and all he has done during the pandemic.
