The Topps Company Issues 2019 Topps Baseball Series 1 Trading Cards

Since 1952, The Topps Company has been the exclusive trading card partner of Major League Baseball, and the company is ready for a new season with the launch of the 2019 Topps Baseball Series 1 trading cards. The annual baseball card collection features 350 new cards, including record-breaking player moments, rookies, and rising stars. This year’s set is unique in that it celebrates 150 years of professional baseball in the United States.

Kids and collectors can look for rare autograph or relic cards, and will have the opportunity to win exclusive, low-numbered cards; autographed memorabilia; and more through Topps’ Home Run Challenge sweepstakes.

Many of today’s collectible lines share a lineage with baseball cards, especially those that are blind-packed with chase items and rare pieces to be found.

The 2019 Topps Baseball Series 1 trading cards are available now at Target, Walmart, local specialty and hobby shops, and Topps.com.
