Jessica BielPopCardz is a trading card company which features celebrities' pictures and stats rather than the usual baseball players. Maybe that doesn't sound all that exciting to you, but wait to you hear what's been stashed in some of the PopCardz packages -- Golden Ticket style!

PopCardz has an extensive website set up to enhance the fun of buying and trading their cards, including games and a look at which charities celebrities are donating their PopCardz proceeds to.

And now, according to The New York Post:

"... inside some packs, hidden among the B-list celebs who make up many of the cards, are special memorabilia cards made with actual pieces of clothing worn by actual celebrities."

Neat! PopCardz co-founder Christian Troy says they chose to include celebs who were "respected for their artistry" and not famous for being a hot mess -- that'd be cool with us, except we bet they could fit an entire dress from Paris Hilton's early career in the package if they tried ... and that would secretly be totally awesome.

Then again, these cards are sold in toy stores (such as Toys "R" Us and in the toy section at Wal-Mart) and geared toward kids, so really, they're promoting positive role models. And did we mention you could get a card made with actual celebrity laundry?

Eat your heart out, Willy Wonka. At the very least, these cards are gonna be "golden tickets" on eBay.
