A buddy of mine opened a box 2010 Topps Triple Threads and shared the break with me in some pics. He got a pretty nice haul with an Albert Pujols relic card and an auto/bat card of Stan Musial.

But I kept looking back at the Pujols cards. Every time I read it, I chuckled to myself because I’m really just an immature kid who can’t find the time to grow up.

If you read that and don’t know what I’m talking about then I suggest you move on. Prince Albert is a term for a male genital piercing. Then, my mind went other places, but that’s for the XXX-rated blog. This isn’t the first time this nickname has been used, so maybe the designers didn’t really think about it in the way my perverted mind went.

If you were a trading card designer, would you try to put suggestive comments or pictures on items and see if they would make it through?

I know Disney items are famous for this kind of thing, including The Little Mermaid cover where a piece of the castle was shaped like a penis.
