Update 2022: David Cook from Season 7 recently shared his card on Instagram. He wrote, "Thanks to @americanidol and all of you. And thanks to Upper Deck for fulfilling one of my childhood dreams to be on a trading card, even though the full dream entailed me being on one as a baseball player for the @Royals. But, this still works. I’m calling it a win."
Cook notes that the card can still be found on eBay
