Topps to Offer 5¢ Packs
1956 Price Commemorates Company's 50th Anniversary of Football Cards
Topps is pleased to announce that September 10th & 11th, NFL's Kick-Off Weekend,
has been designated Topps "Turn Back the Clock" Weekend.
On September 10th and 11th, football fans and collectors can walk into their local
hobby shop and purchase a special pack of Topps 50th Anniversary Football cards for
just a NICKEL! That's the same price for a pack of football cards in 1956. The 5¢
pack will include the first 5 cards of a 22-card set with each card styled after
the 1956 Topps design.
Each and every week following "Turn Back the Clock" weekend, that same hobby
shop will have one brand new 50th Anniversary football card from the special 22-card
set. And the only way to get the card is if you purchase a pack of any 2005 Topps
Football product.
To find a participating store nearest you, dial 1-888-GO-TOPPS or log onto www.topps.com
and use the Home Team Advantage (HTA) store locator.
