    Found a higher res version in this Axios article (which has more photos if you’re interested, and here’s the whole event on Getty Images):

    I was mostly curious about what organization graded it. I can now see that it’s WCG, which Google tells me is notorious for grade inflation and hands out 10s like candy classic

    edit: while trying to find out exactly when they started selling that card I found another variant with the deranged description of DONALD TRUMP Assassination Fight WOUND INFUSED COLOR GOLD CARD

    I wonder if the grifters ever feel bored…it’s like shooting fish in a barrel

      I just spent like the last 20 minutes ranting about this with a friend, and OF COURSE IT’S WGC LMAO.

      They’re entirely worthless for grading, they’re basically a mom and pop that gives almost everything a 10. I was genuinely wondering if he had just gotten one of his kids or some cabinet member’s large adult nephew to put it in a random slab case off of eBay, but he actually found a way to do something funnier than faking it: JDPON Don grifted himself!
