This new deal extends the current agreement between Topps and Harper.  Topps is the only trading card company that can feature Harper’s autographed cards in products and showcase the young star on packaging.  As fans know, it is awesome when you pull an authentic autograph out of a pack of Topps trading cards…especially when it’s a premier player like Bryce Harper.

“I am happy to be a part of the Topps family,” says Harper. “I still get excited when I see my Topps cards and I am glad to hear that fans are excited about them too.”

Harper, the Washington Nationals starting outfielder and five-tool player, is one of the youngest superstars in the league.  In 2012, he made his Major League Baseball debut at the age of 19 and became the youngest player ever to be selected to the All-Star Game.   In addition, he was named the N.L. Rookie of the Year.  In 2013, Harper was once again selected to the All-Star Game.

“Bryce has quickly become one of the biggest names in Major League Baseball,” says Clay Luraschi, VP of Product Development at Topps, “at the age of 21, Harper is leading baseball’s emergence of young, extremely talented stars and collectors can’t get enough of him.”
