New Topps Sketch Card Artist…

Posted on by

I have been a fan and collector of Topps cards since I was a kid, trading them on the corners in West Philadelphia in the early 80’s. As I got older, I continued to collect them and now have too many binders to count. Just a few months ago, I added the 1977 Metal Wall Art set to my collection room.

Today, I am very happy to announce that I am working with Topps as a Sketch Artist and my art will be a part of future Topps sets. I started working on my cards this weekend and can’t wait to share more information on the sets my cards will be a part of as I am allowed to announce them. I posted a sneak peek on social media yesterday, and will be posting progress images and news over the next few weeks. Look for my cards in packs starting this August and as 2015 continues. It is truly a dream come true to be able to do this!

Topps Star Wars Prizes Giveaway

Posted on by

Topps has been a licensee of Star Wars since the very beginning in 1977 when the first trading cards were released to coincide with the release of the film. Those original Topps trading cards featured the iconic blue starfield design that has since become synonymous with Star Wars. Disney and Topps have created billboard-sized trading cards in the vintage Topps design to act as signage throughout the park during Star Wars Weekend.

Topps wants all the fans who visit Disney World during Star Wars Weekend to have fun with these oversized cards. And we’ll be giving away Topps Star Wars prizes every weekend throughout Star Wars Weekends to encourage the fun! For your chance to win a prize, just snap a pic in front of any of the cards. Then submit your photo into the comment section of the Star Wars Weekend post each weekend on our Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/OfficialToppsStarWars for your chance to win. We’ll pick one winner each week for all of the Star Wars Weekends.

Topps Launches ‘Star Wars’ Trading-Card App

Posted on by

Via Usatoday.com:
Topps has found a way for kids of all ages to collect Star Wars trading cards. And this time your mom can’t throw them out.

Available now for iOS devices, the Star Wars: Card Trader app features hundreds and soon thousands of cards pulled from more than 30 years of the franchise featuring beloved characters, memorable locations and cool vehicles.

The app brings back vintage cards released by Topps around the time of the original movies in a digital format, and the company also plans to create original cards with new artwork based on reinterpretations of the Star Wars films.

And for those looking forward to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, there are eight cards from the new film for folks to look out for at launch plus more to come.

Topps actually ran the app by Lucasfilm and Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams early on to show “we’re really honoring the spirit of not only the older Star Wars movies but obviously the upcoming, perhaps most anticipated movie ever,” says Michael Bramlage, vice president of digital for Topps.

For fans, he adds, the goal of the app “is to really make sure almost every day there’s a new card for you to covet and chase.”

The creators of the Star Wars app were inspired by the heyday of classic card collecting in the 1970s and ’80s as well as the childhood thrills of opening wax packs and never knowing what you’d get.

While there’s no sticks of bubble gum to pop into your mouth when opening these digital packs, there is still “that excitement factor and that rush of adrenaline if you draw a hit card,” Bramlage says.

There are three different tiered levels when choosing which packs to buy — plus users will get one free pack by coming back every day. Collectors can get a midlevel pack for about $1 worth of credits in the in-app Cantina.
