It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no wait it’s a Jet

Leon Washington has had a good season as a rookie running back for the New York Jets, but right now he is in the news for a different reason. It has recently come out that his Topps football card features a picture of him where it looks like he is flipping the camera off. This brings back memories of the Billy Ripken baseball card that was so valuable when I was younger. Washington said that he was making the letter “E” with his fingers in reference to the East side of Jacksonville where he grew up. The picture of the card is below so you can decide for yourself. Become of this possible mishap, the card is already going for over $100 dollars on eBay.
