Topps baseball cards are hitting the market this week, and about one in every 70 packs will include a fake picture of Rudy Guiliani, the former New York City mayor, celebrating with the Red Sox on the field after their World Series win — a liberty Topps took in mocking several baseball figures this year, though Guiliani's will be the only card in wide release.
