Topps recently announced that it will release another retro-themed football set in June — this time focusing on its first nationally released product, the 1951 Topps Magic set.
That release featured college football stars as will this one, 2009 Topps Magic, when it arrives in mid-June. Many current players and former legends will appear in the set in their college threads.
The set will include 250 different autograph signers, which the company claims is the most ever, with signed cards found three per hobby box. The packs will carry a $4 suggested retail price.
