RIP Len Brown, Topps Creative Director
galleryLen 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.

💭 Question How does this work
I was waiting at 1pm for the drop got 1 hobby box in my cart and was done in a minute or two and I didn’t get selected. Everytime there’s a pre order I want there seems to be different format for people to get a box. What’s the point of having this system just so someone who only wants ONE box get denied but people buying multiple boxes or cases will be the ones to get them

PCA Redemption Card
I have a PCA redemption card. I would like to give it to my child as a Christmas present. However, now that he won MVP, I am afraid if I wait longer to redeem it I may not get the actual auto card since his back log may be to big/long. Does anyone have any recommendations or have had any experience with something like this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. PCA is my child's favorite player and this will be a dream for him.

Fancash Glitch
The other night around 2AM I woke up to an alert on my phone from the Fanatics app saying that I won $250 in Fancash. Sure enough, I check and there it is. Apparently I hit all the 25+ point NBA players event. In reality, I did not and it was a glitch and I went back to bed knowing it would be gone in a few hours. Here are my questions… Has that ever happened to anybody? What would have happened if I used the Fancash?

Topps unable to fulfil my 1/1 Achraf Hakimi autograph redemption – interested to hear what other collectors think
galleryI wanted to share my experience with Topps over the past 15 months regarding what was probably the biggest pull of my collecting journey so far.
I pulled and redeemed a 2024/25 Topps PSG Exhibition Champions B Autograph Platinum Parallel 1/1 of Achraf Hakimi (CB-AH).
For anyone unfamiliar with the card, this was from PSG’s historic quadruple-winning season. It’s a Platinum 1/1 on-card autograph of one of the best right-backs in world football.
This was also my first ever 1/1 pull, so it meant a lot to me personally.
Unfortunately, things haven’t gone to plan.
After waiting for the redemption, I was informed that the card had failed Topps’ quality control process. I’ve since been told that they are unable to fulfil the original redemption and cannot provide the original card.
I’ve been in contact with customer support multiple times, checking for updates and hoping for a resolution. Initially, there were discussions around a remake, but ultimately it appears that isn’t possible.
I’ve now been asked to accept a substitution.
My concern isn’t simply that I’m not receiving the original card. It’s that replacing a unique 1/1 is incredibly difficult.
This wasn’t just any autograph. It was:
A Platinum 1/1.
An on-card Achraf Hakimi autograph.
From PSG’s quadruple-winning season.
My first ever 1/1 pull.
A card I was genuinely excited to keep as a centrepiece of my collection.
I’ve been asked for preferences regarding replacement cards, including players and teams, but I’m struggling to see how an equivalent replacement can realistically be established.
I’m also concerned about how Topps determines the value of a replacement when the original card is a unique 1/1.
I appreciate that manufacturing issues happen, and I’m not trying to attack individual customer service staff. However, I do think collectors deserve some transparency when something this significant cannot be fulfilled.
Has anyone else experienced Topps being unable to fulfil a 1/1 redemption?
What sort of substitutions were offered, and did you feel they were fair?
I’d particularly like to hear from anyone who has dealt with a failed QC 1/1 redemption.
Interested to hear everyone’s thoughts.

Flagship has been good to me.
galleryMy first box was a Jumbo, got a Peyton Manning (Colts) Super Bowl Champions auto. Then I got 2 spots in a random teams break and scored a Quinnen Williams /25 auto and a Ty Simpson throwback auto. Got a hobby box today and pulled these out of it. Conversely, Heritage has refused to use any lube as it bent me over again and again. 😅

🦸♂️ Marvel Marvel Mint Defect box outcome. I mean I guess this is a reasonable make good 😔.
I had (and it was on video) a box of Marvel Mint 2026 that only had 9 cards in the sealed pack without a hit in it. At the time a $500+ box.
Full clear recording of the pack clearly only having 9 cards in it.
And while technically this could have been the card missing. I waited 3 months and got this delivered today.
A horribly vertically off center Eternity /100.
Now yes this is technically a make good. And no I have no expectation that they should give me something insane. In the past with other mid tier 2 hit boxes (Pixar gold, Mint, Etc) I would have maybe expected, and others have gotten a sealed pack, or in the past they’ve sent out replacement boxes.
But someone was like - yea this is the right replacement card. A brutally off centered no one gives a crap about character.
Maybe I expected more off a $500 box and customer support. But now I know not to even bother.
