Ho ho ho! Santa Claus autograph relic cards have popped up in 2013 Topps Strata Football. No, Santa isn’t one of the many backup quarterbacks this year. The Santa Claus cards are an extra addition to Strata.
One of the first cards popped up during a group break with Cardsmiths Breaks. Sam Smith, the owner, said the card given away in a random drawing to all the members in the group break.
The card is numbered to 35, and signed in silver ink with a gold star next to the game. There is also a red, green and white sweater as the last layer of the shadowbox card.
So what do you think of the card?

Nice touch with the “SANTA-WORN MEMORABILIA” and “CERTIFIED SANTA AUTOGRAPH ISSUE” disclaimers.
Might be nice for children who find it in their pack, but other than that it does not really serve a purpose as (at least I believe) santa never played in the NFL. But hey, weirder things have happened…
The Santa in the photo is too creepy
Someone is on an ego trip….and I agree with above…Santa looks like a creep
I would love one! That’s a cool card, and honestly, it’s one of the cards I would collect, as it’s a HOBBY for me, not my source of income. Let’s be honest, it’ll sell MUCH better than almost ANYONE in this year’s awful RC class.
I saw this on Twitter and thought it would be nice for a child :) I know of a 5 year old boy who would LOVE to find this in HIS stocking :) He’s a great kid, you should hear some of the things he come’s out with, like just the other day his mother told him he better eat all his dinner and veggies and if he didn’t Santa might only bring him cola this year, and his reply ” Well that’s okay! He can bring me coal then I can be the conductor on the train and make it go fast!” lol Gotta love’em! :))
Dang it! That should have read “COAL” not Cola!
I voted Nay, but after pondering it , it mite be a nice gift to a young collector,
Now wasnt Chris Olds the santa claus here. Like really? Someone needs to get on that..
Topps just continues to shred their last shred of any credibility. Now, not only are they passing off “memorabilia” that they won’t certify as being from ANYTHING anymore, but now they’ve gone back to the well of just plain making stuff up!! Anyone remember the Triple Thread John Henry and Pecos Bill cards?? $200+ a box to pull one of those?? Then this past year with the Allen & Ginter cards containing pieces from a Phoenix or the Loch Ness Monster??
P.S – Amusing that neither this Santa card, or any of those jokes they slipped into A&G are actually on the checklist!
Ryan: I failed to be jolly enough.
I’m generally very critical of topps but as long as this card is an EXTRA auto in the box, I like it.
olds: i’ve seen you in person before, trust me you’re jolly enough
So just FYI, I wonder how many cards from Strata are selling for $125+? That’s what the first Santa went for on the bay…
Where can I find one
