You know the pack: 55 cards with all the henchmen (I’m assuming there are no women.)
Where the hell can I get one of these? (Probably in hell.)
And don’t say “sign up for the U.S. military.”
From the St. Petersburg Times:
So you’ll probably have to wait for them to show up on ebay, and then beware of imitations.
You can make up your own deck as soon as they release the full list of names, which should be any time now.
From yesterday.

-It’s just too rare.
PDF’s here:
The small size file is missing. The large card shot is available.
Umm . . . the point is, I want to be the first one to make them show up on eBay . . .
Okay, first person to find a printing place that can produce these cards before April 16 gets 10% of the take =+)
Squink,
You’re a saint.
At least one of them, the Five of Hearts, is a woman; the same one who was with him in one of Saddam’s last tlevised appearances. I think she’s in charge of his chemical program.
I work for a printing company. Wonder if they’ll cut me a break on price? Heh heh…
The Iraqi science advisor turned himself in already.
So if anyone trys to sell you any of the cards, they’re not playing with a full deck.
They didn’t put Mohammed Said Al-Sahhaf on the deck. Seems to me they should have at least put him on the joker.
Dang yabob, you beat me to it. And I have to say, as a long-time hearts player, that I’m really disappointed in their choice for the queen of spades. Muhammad Hamza Zubaydi? Who?
Maybe this will start a whole new fad. Remember Pokemon? I’d like a deck of the Evil Saddam Regime Trading Cards too. Do you think they will expand the deck when they set up the new regime? Then they could have the Evil cards and the Neo Good Guys deck. Maybe they could even come up with a set for US kids with government officials starting with the President and working their way down to their state reps so they’ll know the members of their own government.
Maybe the Pentagon could make up some extra cards for Osama bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders, so we could get a pinochle game going.
Topps did a series of trading cards with the good guys, bad guys, and weapons of the War on Terror, and I believe the first Gulf War as well. Of course, they weren’t as in-depth as your suggestion, but yours sounds like a good idea.
I’ll trade you my two Iraqi Information Ministers, a Chemical Ali, and a Tom Ridge for a Saddam. Deal?
Maye the Franklin Mint can turn them into a chess set, so I can pit them against the Klingons or the Confederacy!
Yeah, anyone can pick up the 2003 series. The real money’s in getting Saddam’s rookie card.
Problem is, you only have room for 8 of 55 for the black pieces, and Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell, Franks, and a couple other people from the administration for the white side.
And what are you going to do about pawns? I suppose you could have the Iraqi Information Minister and Ari Fleischer as the pawns, which would give you some room for the power pieces.
