SuperBazooka Bubble Fudge. Is it a candy? Is it a bubble gum? A cry for help from the Topps product team?

Good morning, collectors 👋 Only seen a few other 1957 Topps Basketball boxes—and never from this angle. Yeah, the top’s gone, but this thing is still insanely rare. Photo’s from Mastro’s Oct ‘04 Classic Collector auction catalog. #cardsky

The other day, SportsCollectorsDaily shared a photo of a complete '79 Hostess HoHos box, saying, “Hostess HoHos, anyone? Rare to see a complete box of 79s.” That sent me down a rabbit hole: Are they really that rare? Turns out, yes, they are. More here 🔽 www.postwarcards.com/how-rare-are...

Still on my dealer sell sheet kick—here’s a great one from the 1991 debut of Topps Stadium Club. Topps leaned hard into Kodak’s image technology and a borderless, big-view design, resulting in a sharp-looking set that BaseballCardPedia calls a "landmark product in hobby history." #cardsky

I first learned about the 1990-91 NBA Hoops Team Night sheets thanks to a tweet from JunkWaxHeroes, who shared a slabbed Michael Jordan card. #cardsky I had to learn more, so I wrote a little post about 'em 🔽 www.postwarcards.com/team-night-i...

There’ve been a bunch of awesome ’80s Topps dealer sell sheets on eBay lately. I’ve picked up a few and saved pics of a bunch more. Here’s one I don’t remember seeing before: 1984 Rak-Paks! #cardsky

Happy birthday to Pancho Herrera. His 1958 Topps card walked so the 1990 Frank Thomas NNOF could run.

Neat 1981 Topps dealer sheet for their Superstar Photo Cards and Rak Paks—what’s cool is they used 1980 cards in the ad since the 1981s weren’t available yet. #cardsky

A while back, I came across an incredible photo in my archives: Larry Fritsch, standing in front of a staggering wall of Topps vending boxes. I shared it the other day, wondering where it came from and hoping someone might recognize it. Found it! -> www.postwarcards.com/unboxing-the...

Here’s a photo of Mickey Mantle and Hank Aaron before a 1957 World Series game. Topps used a shot from a slightly different angle for the 1958 “World Series Batting Foes” card. #cardsky
