Topps, the renowned name in the trading card industry, is preparing to introduce a collector’s dream at the highly anticipated Fanatics Fest in New York City. This exclusive event, set to take place at the Javits Center from August 16-18, will play host to a select group of lucky attendees who will have the opportunity to snag the limited Topps Chrome Baseball box featuring “Big Apple Refractors.”
What sets this release apart is the unique design of the “Big Apple Refractors” cards, each showcasing the majestic New York City skyline as a backdrop, a feature that evokes the city’s vibrant spirit and iconic landmarks. With a print run of fewer than 50 for each card, collectors will find themselves in possession of a rare and coveted piece of memorabilia.
The Topps Chrome Baseball box will be made available in two variant formats: the Value Box and the Hobby Box. The Hobby Box, in particular, will contain six exclusive “Big Apple Refractors” cards, promising collectors a delightful surprise within each box. However, given the limited nature of this release, securing a box is not guaranteed, even for those with event admission tickets, as quantities are extremely restricted.
For Fanatics Fest attendees, there is an added layer of anticipation and excitement surrounding the acquisition of the Topps Chrome Baseball box. VIP ticketholders will have first dibs on these exclusive boxes, although even they will not be assured a purchase due to the high demand and scarcity of the product. The buzz and hype surrounding this limited release have further heightened the allure of Fanatics Fest, already reputed as the home to the largest trading card show in recent New York City history.
Apart from the exhilarating trading card showcases, attendees at Fanatics Fest can look forward to engaging with over 300 leading dealers and brands in the industry. The event will also feature special appearances and discussions with sports luminaries and personalities, promising a comprehensive and immersive experience for all sports enthusiasts and memorabilia collectors in attendance.
The collaboration between Topps and Fanatics Fest serves as a testament to the significance of the trading card market and its enduring appeal to collectors of all ages. The unveiling of the Topps Chrome Baseball box with its exclusive “Big Apple Refractors” cards adds a touch of exclusivity and prestige to the event, making it a rendezvous not to be missed for aficionados seeking to enhance their collections with unique and limited-edition pieces.
As the countdown to Fanatics Fest draws closer, the excitement continues to build, fueled by the promise of rare finds, exclusive releases, and unforgettable moments at the heart of New York City’s vibrant trading card scene.
