Man, I hated that guy. After the '96 Olympics, when (Canadian) Donovan Bailey won the 100m, Johnson claimed he should be crowned the fastest man alive because his 200m divided was better than Bailey's 100m. Ludicrous, of course, so they staged a 150m race at SkyDome. Bailey was trouncing Johnson about 25m in and Johnson pulled up lame, clutching his hamstring.

Get Usain Bolt autos in packs ASAP. Most people know about 100m record he shattered. Well he shattered the 200m record last night. Remember when Michael Johnson's record in the 200m was thought to be never touched?

Anyone else love to see a lightning Bolt certified AU? Allen Ginter '10 ? Heck throw it in 09 BCDP for all I care just get one out there.

I just hope he's clean.

Good idea, but doesn't exactly fit the name.

I think Etopps is an OK idea, but you don't have the accessibility.

HMMMM.

What about a small set of world sports stars called "Topps World's Finest". Have Stars like David Beckham, Bolt, etc. Even have a retired auto set. Pele, etc (can't think of any right now).
