Topps Story



St. Nick to Sign Autographs and Donate Santa Suit for All-New Product

North Pole (Aug. 15, 2007) -- The Topps Company announced that it has signed an exclusive deal with Santa Claus to create a special 18-card set of the jolly St. Nick.

''I’ve been giving kids Topps cards for years and now I’m getting my own series…how exciting!'' exclaimed Santa. ''I can’t wait to see my Topps Rookie Card!''

This Fall, Topps will release an 18-card set featuring 15 Santa cards on classic Topps Baseball designs. The set will also include three special trading cards: A card autographed by Santa, a memorabilia card featuring a piece of his red crushed velvet suit and his Topps Rookie Card. The set will retail for $9.99.

The agreement also grants Topps exclusive rights within the trading card category for licensed memorabilia and the use of Santa on packaging and advertising.

''This is by far our biggest signing in the history of the company,'' said Topps. ''We have a feeling Santa will be dropping this set into a lot of stockings this year.''

Is there a lawyer in the house that can explain how it's possible to get an exclusive with someone that doesn't exist?

Sorry if I just ruined Santa for anyone.

Didn't ProSet (Lud Denny) have an exclusive with Santa in the late 80's?

I have a few santa cards including his autograph insert. He's on cards with emmitt, bledsoe, marino, etc in the early-mid 90s as well as the pro set insert auto.

At one time the proline auto card was valuable. Interestingly, he only uses his first name in the auto. I think mine was ghost signed, looks like my mom's writing

It came back from psa as questionable auth.

Edited to add - took a minute to find it, too much crap laying around!

Thanks for posting your Santa auto. But I hate to say I think yours is fake. See how the S is different. I think the Topps one is real because they're more popular than Proline.

For some reason I always wanted to pull that Santa Card.

The '73 design is cool.

Scans por favor?

Bought one for my youngest. I cant get scans until after the 25th.

I bought 2 of them today. One to open and one to keep. I told my daughter that I saw Santa today and gave him her list. She didn't believe me and I said "Santa thought you would say that, so he told me to give you this autographed card". She was ecstatic.

Will PSA/DNA even authenticate such a card?

Karb

Maybe...My two look pretty much the same. the "s" in Claus is a little different

gocatsgo538

I wonder what poor sap had to sign all of those...

Besides Santa of coarse...

I saw this auction when it was own around $2.00 and I said, "Well hell, I'll go for it." I just went back to it now and it was up around $15.00!! Is a card signed by a fake Santa really work this much?? All I have to say is WOW!!
