Ultimate Fighting Championship MMA cards coming to eTopps
Visitors to Topps‘ online stock market-style card site, eTopps, may have noticed this subtle image on display on the site recently.
That’s right, one of the hottest sports card properties of the last year — Ultimate Fighting Championship MMA cards — are coming to eTopps.
Topps’ initial offering of UFC cards, Round 1, has been a very strong seller — 16-pack hobby boxes are selling for more than $400 — and the second series (Round 2) is on its way soon, scheduled for arrival on Aug. 10.
eTopps cards? Well, they should be a hit as well when they go on sale beginning Monday.
An official announcement on the eTopps program is forthcoming later today.
Chris Olds has collected sports cards and memorabilia since 1987. Before coming to Beckett Media, he wrote about the hobby for the Orlando Sentinel on his blog, SportsStuff, and for the San Antonio Express-News and The Tuscaloosa (Ala.) News.
