For the first time, New York based company, Topps, revealed trading cards that allows fans and collectors to create their own original cards.
Topps Company Inc., the official license of Major League Soccer and Major League Baseball, is giving fans the chance to design their own cards. After years of trying to incorporate consumers to build authentic trading cards, the company decided it was time to make a chance. “Now fans will have the opportunity to get their own Topps trading card just like their favorite players they grew up collecting and we feel they will quickly become a ‘must have’ for all looking to enhance their fandom or create a special gift that will last a lifetime,” said Brand Manager for Topps, Jeff Heckman.
Cards will be sold in packs of eight for $9.99 on Topps.com. Fans can design their own card by picking one of three layouts: a 2015 Topps MLB series, a 1952 Vintage MLB, or a 2015 Topps MLS card. From there, customers will be able to upload their own picture and enter their name on the front of the card.
On the back, they can add their hometown, position and even provide a description. And finally, they can either add a logo of their favorite team or upload a logo of their choosing. Fans can expect the same authentic look and feel of original Topps Trading cards.
