I remember at the beginning of the comedy Keeping the Faith, with Ben Stiller and Edward Norton. that their was this outlandish scene of Ben Stiller trading Rebbe cards as a kid, I thought it was impossible, and whilst funny, in reality, such cards
would never exist....

I thought that this would remain the domain of kids trading football or baseball cards.

I am wrong, while walking past Envoy at the bottom of Golders Green in London, I noticed this sign....

Which card is worth the most? Are there rare ones such as the Rebbe as a youngster?

How do cards become valuable?

What are the categories for the Rebbe cards?

1) Weddings
2) Funerals
3) Bar Mitzvahs
4) The length of his beard?

How is it that sticking stickers/postcards of the rebbe in a baby's cot is not idolatrous?
