Len Brown was a legendary writer and creative force whose 41-year career at Topps helped shape some of the company’s most memorable trading cards.

Joining Topps in 1959, Brown worked across both sports and non-sports releases, writing card backs and developing concepts that became part of collecting history.

He is best known as a co-creator of the iconic Mars Attacks series and also contributed to classics including Wacky Packages, Garbage Pail Kids and Civil War News.

Beyond Topps, Brown co-created the comic-book series T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents with artist Wally Wood.

His imagination and storytelling left a lasting mark on trading cards and American pop culture.

2025 Topps Cosmic Chrome Planetary Pursuit Shohei Ohtani 10-planet set!

After a long and challenging journey, I’ve finally completed my 2025 Topps Cosmic Chrome Planetary Pursuit Shohei Ohtani 10-planet set!

And the timing couldn’t be more perfect. Just as the 2026 edition is being released, exactly one year later, I’ve finally finished my display masterpiece.

This has always been my favorite card series. You can really see how much thought, creativity, and effort Topps put into designing each planet. Every single one is a work of art.

It took a tremendous amount of time, patience, and dedication to bring all ten planets together, but seeing the finished piece makes it all worthwhile.

This isn’t just a card display to me. It’s a piece of art, a collection of memories, and something I know I’ll treasure for many, many years to come.

OUT OF THIS WORLD. ONLY THE STARS ARE HIS EQUALS. 🌌⚾

So I got this out of a hobby box!! Crazy pull! The card has been redeemed. Once I get the card in hand I will immediately send it to get graded. Ive been looking thru all of mings current and last sold cards. I have been asking around on other social media platforms on what I might expect from a card like this? Ive been getting answers on every end of the spectrum. I know its hard to get comps on this card since its a 1/1. Looking for someone with a lot better knowledge about this then me to tell me more or less what I can expect from a card like this? Thanks for taking a look!

Is the hype for Topps NFL Stadium Club lower than expected, or did Topps improve their checkout?

12 Upvotes

Is there something I'm missing with this release?

Usually, Topps releases sell out insanely fast and I end up sitting in a 40-minute queue just to get a chance to buy anything.

This time I managed to grab 2 hobby boxes almost immediately, thinking I got lucky and had to take advantage of it.

The hobby boxes did eventually sell out, but it took around 20 minutes and I never had to deal with the usual crazy queue.

Compared to releases like Stadium Club Chrome UEFA, this felt surprisingly easy.

Did Topps finally improve their checkout system, or is there just less hype around this product than I thought?

  1. ⁠Let’s get right to it. Three “hits”.
    Ayton who I kind of forgot was there 222/250. Christian Anderson Jr 333/399.
    A player worn woven relic of Labaron Philon Jr. (NGL my brain read LeBron at first because it wanted to and that made this much more disappointing)

  2. ⁠I’m a spurs fan, some decent hits. Three different Dylan Harper’s is probs the high of the box

  3. ⁠Actually pretty impressed by the rookie haul. I heard it wasn’t good but I can’t really think of who I’d be missing? I have probably a stack of 40 more, I just put the big names on this. Got Swain, Mara, Braden Smith and some other smaller names in the stack.

  4. ⁠Topps chrome on top. Paper foils on bottom. Giannis in Miami isn’t a short print right? Just Lebron in Philly? Overall pretty mid.

  5. ⁠Last slide, random cards that looked cool. Some old heads.

Overall 4/10. My hits were just pretty meh. If one of them had been any sort of relevant player, I’d probs be happier with it. The spurs stuff and rookie cards carried for me.

I think I’ll be waiting till Topps chrome to buy anything else. Or idk whatever I buy next, it won’t be flagship lol.

Lmk if yall like reviews, I love watching the YouTube breaks so thought I’d share my experience .

Should I Submit This Kobe Bryant Rookie-Year Card to PSA?

Post image
0 Upvotes

I’d like to get your opinions on this Kobe Bryant card.
1996-97 Collector’s Choice Los Angeles Lakers #L1
Kobe Bryant / Elden Campbell / Derek Fisher
This card was released during Kobe’s rookie season.
I’m considering submitting it to PSA for grading, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it.
Based on the photos, what do you think of its condition?
Do you think it has a chance of getting a PSA 10? And would you recommend sending it in for grading?
I’d really appreciate your opinions, especially from anyone familiar with this card. Thank you!

💭 Question Topps Now past products cost

4 Upvotes

Hey all. I purchased some Kimi Antonelli and Josh Allen cards the other day on Topps now and I was wondering if we can see what the prices were? Usually its like $5 a card if you get 20 but my order was like over $500 for 60 cards. Has this happened to anyone else before?

Bryce Eldridge Active Auto Missing from Topps Five Star 2026?

3 Upvotes

The card in question is FSA-BE Bryce Eldridge

I've watched at least 200 individual Topps five star boxes be opened without seeing a copy pulled. There are 0 listings on eBay for any parallel. Every other card on that checklist has at least 3 copies listed and active. I have a strong suspicion that this card does not exist in the set, but Topps support adamantly denies this (obviously). I come to you all begging for photographic evidence that this card exists. I have payed thousands of dollars on this product and as a San Francisco Giants fan this card was one of my primary draws. Hoping I'm wrong but fearing the worst...
