I think my favorite part of this scam is that there aren't 45 unique cards to buy.
Granted I could be wrong, but in looking into things, they are maybe selling 10? So that big pack of 45, you're not only paying almost $100 for a jpeg, but nearly $5k for copies of jpegs.
Of course, a premium price for worthless crap is kinda on brand for Trump. And, they are gonna run of jpegs?

I think it's a random card-lottery kind of thing. You pay your money, you get a random card. You already have this card? Aw, too bad, that'll be another $99 for a chance to get one you don't have? Aw, you got another double? $99, please.
Oh! And people are having an issue where, upon wasting their money on this crap, they don't even get access to the useless photoshop cartoon they shelled out stupid amounts of money for. I can't imagine how this could possibly get any better!
Next he'll come out with lootboxes and pachinko machines. He's just going back to his days as a failed casino owner.
So: reduced to what are basically sub-par NFTs. How much did you pay the (f)artist to create these, Donald Fart?
It's possible - via the likes of Machine Learning algorithms such as Stable Diffusion - to create, with just a few prompt words, infinitely superior artworks.
With infinitely less expense involved.
The only ones laughing all the way to the bank are we of the left: as we laugh at those loosening their wallets to buy this BS while our money's still safe in our accounts, and not yours.
A fool and his money are soon parted indeed.

Next he'll come out with lootboxes and pachinko machines.
Or/and, perhaps, Trump Scratch Tickets. Each ticket has a Trump Head and two scratchable fields.
Next to the Trump Head is a Head field that contains either another Trump Head or the head of one of his kids or someone who worked with him while he was president and a Prize field.
If you get another Trump Head in the Head field, you win the amount you uncover in the Prize field. Any other head - you don’t win.

Donald Trump Trading Cards Sell Out as NFTs Worth Over $500k
...meanwhile, Donald Fart Top Trumps:

...but unlike all others in that card game invented by Waddingtons but now owned by Monopoly licencing agents (from Super Mario to Game of Thrones editions: even two Hull ones) for Hasbro - the British company Winning Moves - in this game if you have the highest card you lose.
There was a second edition of Hull Monopoly when my locale was City of Culture in 2017: there's even been a Scarborough edition. Trump the Game failed (again) when it was reissued: toyshops said it was 'Nailed to the shelves'.
A winning move indeed when Monopoly owners Hasbro chose Winning Moves to licence the various editions for them. Monopoly may be a classic game, but they never rested on their laurels with just the original.
Hasbro has made far more than $500,000+ with just NFTs. You could always try a second reissue of your game, Donald Fart...!

Since Trump’s machine has a history of scavenging, someone went and tracked down the online originals of the trading card results.

Well sure, if we're going by the actual definitions of words like some sort of weirdo, and not ignoring that I tend to type things without thinking about them first, I guess.
Although, in my defense, I think I was imagining them more as the video game variety of lootbox, the whole “open a box-ooh look at the sparkles-music swells to the 'Zelda found item’ theme aaaaaaaannd aww, Ericagain? .” Although for all I know, this obvious grift has all those digital dopamine-pumps included, I'm not wasting my hardly-earned money to find out.
I jest, of course. He'd never put Eric's face on one of the cards. They're his sad attempt at relevancy, not Eric's.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
