Topps adds new television show Preacher to its TOPPS NOW™ brand

New Preacher cards available on Topps.com the day after an episode airs

(MAY 23, New York, NY) – The Topps Company is adding another great entertainment license to its portfolio with the addition of the new AMC original series Preacher.

The first cards for the television show will be available May 23 – the day after the first episode airs – under the TOPPS NOW™ line. A set of five physical trading cards will be available for just 24 hours, giving fans of the show the opportunity to own timely collectibles each week there is a new episode.

“The TOPPS NOW program is the first of its kind for a television show because it offers fans an immediate collectible,” said Jeff Heckman, Topps’ Director of New Product Development & eCommerce Marketplace. “Instead of having to wait months for a trading card, they can order it the next day. Preacher has gotten great reviews, and the TOPPS NOW trading cards will make the perfect keepsake for any fan.”

The five-card set of key moments from each episode will be available to order from Topps.com for $19.99, which includes free shipping in the United States.

TOPPS NOW is an exciting new program that launched in early April with the start of the Major League Baseball season. TOPPS NOW cards are offered for sale the day after a memorable moment has occurred.
