First Cam Newton won Ohio State its third Heisman Trophy.
Now, according to the stats listed on the back of some sort of limited edition football card from Topps, The Blessed Individual never left Florida.
It’s like the universe has absorbed more Cam envy than it can handle and is trying to relieve the pressure with pop-culture gaffes… a valuable gaffe, in this case.
The Cam Newton Red Zone Rookie Autographs card, unsealed yesterday on YouTube, instantly went for $499 on eBay (with a little help from some other cards—including this nifty, vintage-esque mini-card).

The Cam Newton rookie card will be included in the Hater’s Kit.
