it would be for the whole deck, which might be a decent sustitute for a lump of coal.
But one lousy card isn't even a joke.
What if you got the Joker?

Unfortunately, there are only eight different cards, so there'll be a little duplication along the way. Think of it as tithing to the Church of Donald.

(34,126 posts)It would take (at a bare minimum) 43 years to collect all of them. There are 45,000 being issued. There are no more than 20 copies of each card - so 45000 / 20 = at least 2250 differnt cards. (That's the bare minimum, since the claim is that some will have only one copy, and others will have a defined number fewer than 20.)
And the 43 year assumes that you are randomly given a different card each week. (You aren't allowed to pick which card you want - so you could get up to 20 copies of a single card, and would need to buy hte 19 you missed.

Buried in the detail is the disclaimer that you don't have to buy anything to enter the sweepstakes. (Not that I'd want to win any of the prizes.)
