Augmented reality and my Yo! MTV Raps trading cards

Augmented reality is blowing up now. Topps did a thing where you hold up these special baseball cards to your webcam and through the magic of augmented reality you see a digital representation of the player on your screen, which you can then play games with.

I have a bunch of old Yo! MTV Raps trading cards from the late 80's. I want to be able to hold up those cards to my webcam and display a digital likeness of the rappers performing their songs. Or a digital turntable which would then play the artist's song that I could then "scratch" by moving the card around.
