This... is "American Idol!"

I purchased this 5-card retail pack of 2009 Upper Deck American Idol Season 8 for about $0.37.

I stopped watching the non-audition episodes of American Idol after the fourth season... so this pack should be an educational experience for me.

Jeez. This card is a slap in the face.
