The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- He was also an author, publisher, and philanthropist, although he said of himself: "I am a showman by profession... and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me." The adage "there's a sucker born every minute" has frequently been attributed to him, although no evidence exists that he had coined the phrase.
- Barnum became a small-business owner in his early twenties and founded a weekly newspaper before moving to New York City in 1834.
- He embarked on an entertainment career, first with a variety troupe called "Barnum's Grand Scientific and Musical Theater", and soon after by purchasing Scudder's American Museum, which he renamed after himself.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The P. T. Barnum article was read about 820,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 73: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
