We couldn’t wait until later in the week to talk up some more unusual Allen & Ginter autographs.

There are some real interesting inclusions in this year’s set — besides the eight different Michael Phelps cards to be found.

Like this Isis Kyle autograph — she’s a professional bodybuilding champion. (Read more here.)

Or how about something really different — a horizontal A&G autograph of Dick Fosbury, a high-jumper who is known for the Fosbury Flop?

See more images — just a small sampling of the unusual autographs to be found of champions in several other sports — after the jump.

Perhaps it’s time that A&G is classified as a multi-sport set?
