***On Sundays we like to get into the political talk show spirit by showing you the new additions to my political card collection**
This week's installment of This Week In Politics is brought to you by Beardy of
The Mojo Beard.
Certainly the most overlooked of the Founding Father presidents, James Monroe's
Monroe Doctrine was the most important foreign policy decision made by the early presidents. You don't find a lot of low numbered political cards so this on being out of 34 is quite nice.

I knew these Presidential Pastimes cards were available in Chrome but I had never seen the refractor version of them. Beardy sent me four refractors and they look great outside the penny sleeve. Ultra Pro should really get on building penny sleeve technology that enhances the look of refractors when they are slipped inside.

The Topps American Pie set came out during the dark period of my collecting...it was similar to the Watergate years highlighted in the card below. In fact these are the first American Pie cards I think I've ever owned.
