Kate Upton Gets Topp Trading Card; Buys 25k Ticket to Met Ball
It seems that the world cannot get enough of beautiful Kate Upton. She has been featured in dancing videos, front covers, commercials, T-shirts - and now - get this- she will get her own Topps trading card.
The gorgeous swimsuit model will be getting her own Topps trading card in the Allen & Ginter's World Champions set, according to USA Today. The card is modeled after the late 1800s tobacco cards that were inserted into cigarette packs. Allen & Ginter cards included baseball players and other well known-figures from other sports back in the 1800s. Modern day - this means the card set will include athletes, celebrities, and other notable features.
The regular card will show her at the Swimsuit Issue launch party. A limited number of cards will be signed by her which will be hidden in packages, according to ESPN. Cards of other baseball players will be packaged along with hers.
Other notable stars to have their own card this year are Arnold Palmer and Roger Federer.
Meanwhile, Kate Upton has reportedly paid $25,000 for a ticket to New York's Costume Institute Gala Benefit, known as the "Met Ball", which will be held next Monday. The model reportedly begged Vogue editor Anna Wintour , who is one of the organizers of the upcoming event. A source told New York Post : "She told Anna she would really like to attend. Then she offered to pay for her own ticket. Kate then whipped out her cheque book and paid the $25,000 for her seat." The source confirmed that: "Anna took the cheque on the spot."
Upton has been receiving much attention lately after a video of her dancing to the tune of "Cat Daddy" in a very small bikini has gone viral.
