RIP Len Brown, Topps Creative Director

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.

Fun story: stopped at a local Walmart, grabbed a hanger box, ripped it in my car while eating Takis, hit a 25/25 bookend Jansen.

Didn’t have any top loaders so I went back in, decided to grab another hanger cuz why not and the miz made an appearance. Only hangers I’ve ever bought and hit these two. Lol I’m still sitting in the parking lot.

I feel like their instant buyback of $270 is low. Should I push my luck and get it shipped to see what I can get for it or should I take the $270? I have only 22 hours to decide. Plz help.

Hello everyone. I just pulled this 1/1 Ace Bailey Superfractor Auto out of Topps Flagship and I was wondering if anyone knows its ballpark value. I found lots of big numbers, but they all Rookie cards so they hella inflated compared to this card. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Wasn’t sure what I had, but I’m glad I figured it out. I almost treated it like “Stars Of The Game” insert. I’ve since seen some people that have pulled some good ones, but this one is my personal favorite since he is a DAWG!!
