Re: Strasburg Signs With Topps?

would love to see him on a topps heritage card in 2010, but I guess that can't happen can it?

He could definitely be a redemption, and we know what that means!

Hey Kevin - did you see the Matt Cain heritage auto on the sell sheet for high numbers, but he's not on the checklist? He does have a dual auto with Ethier, but it's a redemption.

Good move for Topps, hurts the USA autos since if UD had signed him then those probably would have held value.

TOPPS SIGNS # 1 DRAFT PICK STEPHEN STRASBURG

TO EXCLUSIVE DEAL


New York, NY (Dec. 22, 2009) -The Topps Company, Inc., the exclusive
producer of Major League Baseball trading cards, has announced that it has
signed baseball's # 1 Draft Pick Stephen Strasburg to an exclusive
agreement.


The multi-year deal grants Topps exclusive rights for autographed cards,
game-used memorabilia cards and Strasburg's image use on packaging and
advertising. Topps will also offer a limited edition line of autographed
memorabilia items.



"I can't wait to see myself in uniform on my first Topps card," said
Strasburg. "That's when I know I will have truly made it as a baseball
player."



Strasburg, 21, one of the most heralded amateur players in the game's
history, was the first overall pick of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft.
The highly-touted pitcher went 13-1 with a 1.32 ERA at San Diego State
University in 2009 and won the Golden Spikes Award tabbing him the best
amateur baseball player in the country.



"Stephen is a very special talent," said Warren Friss, GM, Topps Sports &
Entertainment. "When a phenom like him comes along, you do whatever you can
to make them part of your team."



In the coming weeks, Topps will unveil card designs and products featuring
Strasburg.



Earlier this year, Topps became the first exclusive baseball card company of
Major League Baseball in nearly 30 years. The company looks to expand its
ongoing efforts to invigorate the

the category, continue launching ground-breaking products, improve the
retail and collecting experience and make cards more relevant to children.

Just got the press release.

Strasburg signed to exclusive "multi-year" deal.

He will be signing cards and memorabilia and will be the coverboy for many products.

Should be interesting...

*Feels the ground*

Still feels pretty warm, so I am guessing Hell has not froze over.

No kidding, this should have been done months ago to get him into 09 BDP.

Completely unacceptable if they don't make sure he is an AUTO in one of the BC sets next year.

Late addition for Sterling?


NO WAY Topps puts him in an 09 product. They're smarter than that!

This is great news for Topps, and dagger-in-the-heart news for Upper Deck at a very criticle time.

Yes.

I disagree. The USA stuff is his foirst "real" stuff. Collectors will not forget those cards.

I think the issue now is whether he will be over-auto'd next year (as in everything Bowman & otherwise).
