Figure skaters on trading cards featuring U.S. hopefuls for Sochi Olympics
Figure skaters on trading cards featuring U.S. hopefuls for Sochi Olympics [ETA: AND Paralympics :thumbsup:]
Did I miss a recent mention of these elsewhere on GS?
According to the link below, depicted among the one hundred "base" Topps trading cards devoted to U.S. hopefuls for all Sochi sports will be:
- "There are also special “swatch cards” with game-worn athlete patches inserted into the card. This follows a trend set more than 10 years ago in other sports (game-worn jerseys, game-used bats, etc.)"
ETA:
Estimated Release Date: 11/6/2013
