It’s an extension of the vision we’ve had for digital collectibles in our mobile apps since 2012,” said Tobin Lent, VP & Global General Manager of Topps Digital Sports & Entertainment at The Topps Company. “The release of the 2021 Topps MLB Inception NFT Collection celebrates promising young talent and notable rising stars already making a name for themselves in professional baseball, and symbolizes the continued growth of this new era of Topps digital collecting.”

Standard and Premium Packs of the 2021 Topps MLB Inception NFT Collection will be available for purchase on Thursday, September 9th at 1pm ET exclusively on ToppsNFTs.com, with card rarities ranging from Common to Legendary.
