Topps spokesman, David Wright, talking about the MJHD trading cards said "We released these cards firstly in Japan because the kids go nuts for them over here. The entire set is a collection of 250 cards ranging from Michael Jackson himself right down to Kai Chase. Obviously the Michael Jackson card is the most elusive with only 1,000 produced so far. But if your looking for a Kai Chase there are 2,000,000 to find. We hope to release these cards in the US and Europe later this year."
Attending the press conference was Weird Al Yankovic who unbeknown to many has been an avid trading card collector for 25 years. "I was on ebay before I flew out looking for Michael Jackson. I found a dorito with his image for $300 but no card. The last one sold on ebay went for $250,000 but that was before they were released."
Joe Jackson, never one to miss a free meal, said "I don't get it. Today was the first time I actually saw the cards. I'm less famous than Murray; hell even Jermaine is more famous than me. What is wrong with these people?"
Stores all over Japan sold out of the cards on the day of their release; and the same is expected in the US and Europe when they go on sale later this year.
Topps spokesman, David Wright, finished with "It is almost just like the hoax. Nobody can find Michael Jackson."
