It sure beats Abraham Lincoln as a vampire slayer. What the heck was that all about?

nice. However, Im sure if the man woke up today, and saw what is going on in this world, he would assume he was on mars...

Am I reading this right? They sent a VDB to Mars to use to check their imaging? If that's correct, why wouldn't they have sent a nice cheap zincoln?

1909 VDB still only worth about $2-$25 Uncirculated, article said why they used the 1909.

I realize they are not too costly, but IMO all they needed was a known image, and didn't need to send a 1909 when a zincoln would have done just as well. They still spent $1.99 to $24.99 too much.
