Last football season Topps worked with the St Louis Rams
to create a set of special Rams Kids Club cards with 10 Defend Our Turf cards
and a Rampage fur card. The cards were given away at two games in December at a
Rams Kids Club table. There were also some autographed versions that were given
away through Topps Twitter and Rampage’s Twitter & Facebook pages.
There are already mascot cards as well as autographed
mascot cards and collectors love them with some of the autographs topping $50,
I think that mascot relics would be a natural transition. I can just imagine
what a San Diego Chicken or Phillie Phanatic relic auction would look like,
triple digits would probably be a realistic selling point. I would definitely
chase down a Mariner Moose and Blitz relic.
Topps needs to get on this.
I'd be all over a SD Chicken relic... although I can't imagine dropping triple digits on one. I'd wait for the dust to settle and grab one a few years later after Topps was finished flooding the market with mascot relic cards.
