Do they come with bubble gum?
:P

IDK about the bubble gum,but some may come with a Golden ticket.You know like Willy Wonka.Who really cares,I just want the Carly trading cards. :yes:

Just found the official site for Idol trading cards:

link

No Carly card is shown as far as I can tell, but you can see her in the card featuring David Cook's finale win.

The set is 138 cards.
Supposed to be contestants from every season.They show Jorge and Alexis that didn't make the top ten so they really better hope there is a Carly Smithson card other then the one showing with Cook.And sorry Nate didn't see anything about the bubble gum.

the full set includes:

"138 exciting cards from the #1 Show in America!

Randomly inserted autographs from Season 8 Finalists and past Idols including David Archuleta, Michael Johns and more!

Makeover Lenticular cards showing the Idols remarkable before and after Hollywood transformations!

"Almost an Idol" cards capturing the unforgettable contestant tryouts from Season 8 and memorable moments in Idol history!

Top 2 finalist from every season; and favorite Idols including, Jordin Sparks, Ruben Studdard, and Jennifer Hudson!

Beloved past Idol rejects including William Hung!"


in one of the other articles i thought it said it would feature the top 12 from every season lol so i hope thats included in the "past idols including david archuleta, michael johns, and more!"

Just saw another ad for the upcoming AI trading cards with this note:

I don't think the previous announcements mentioned Carly specifically. But now we know!

Here is the full article link.
:carly:

YAY! I would've hated to buy this set and not have a Carly Smithson card and I hope I find Katharine McPhee too.

Hey Nate still don't see anything about the bubble gum. :haha:

I heard about this a while back. awesome! I can see it now, Cheryl will have to create an "Idol Trading Cards" sub-forum. one thing for sure, I ain't giving up my Carly card for love or money!

I just realized that these cards come out tomorrow, April 21st. I'm gonna check them out and see if we get the Carly cards right away. Stay tuned.....

Haha,bet I beat ya to the store,thanks to Nate I just have to find out if theres bubble gum inside. :lmao: I hope I get the golden ticket and then I'll feel just like Charlie from Willy Wonka.
And of course the main reason is to get the Carly Smithson card. :carly:

awe thanks Koosh I got all the way up to the 50 miles search and still nuffin muffin,I have so got to get out of this town.Ok I guess amazon or finally making that trip to Roanoke.hmmm,yeah ok Im headed to Roanoke soon.

Guess I've got more money than sense cuz I just bought the whole set on Amazon. I tried the store locator thing and nothing anywhere near me :angry: , so I decided to get them online. I should have them by the end of the week. Yay!!!

LMAO!!!!! you got the whole set?!?! u crazy woman! :haha: i wish i could do that lol that had to have cost a lot tho sheesh! take pics of ur carly card for us! :w00t:

Actually it was only $40 for the whole set and my sister is gonna split the cost with me, so that's not so bad. But Yay for my Carly card on the way!!!

WOAH awesome!!! i wanna get some really bad!

Amy,I hope what you did buy was the whole set.What Im seeing online is the box sets of 24 packs with 5 cards a pack.That's only 120 cards and the whole set has 138 in it.goodluck.

Hope you get one of the Carly autographed cards.

need...... cards...... AHHHH

So,checked with upper deck and they do not sell and did not make an entire set for sale,nor do they sell individual cards for each contestant.The only thing being sold is the hobby box of individual packs of 5 and single packs.

Good luck!
