Topps

Topps is one of the most storied and most popular sportscards manufacturers.

The Topps Company was founded in 1938 as Topps Chewing Gum, and in its infancy they produced gum from a small factory in Brooklyn, N.Y. After World War II, the company developed Bazooka Bubble Gum, and later added trading cards to its product line. Baseball cards first appeared in 1951 and quickly became an important part of pop culture, a tradition that continues to this day, and includes football (both American and European) and basketball, in addition to entertainment cards and stickers and albums.

In July of 2003, Topps acquired WizKids, a designer and marketer of collectible strategy games (like MLB Showdown). Topps maintains offices in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Brazil, and Argentina, in addition to the U.S.
