Elway Pumps Topps on Media Tour

Cal Ripken spent the opening days of the 2010 baseball season fulfilling his role as spokesman for the Million Card Giveaway launched by Topps.  Now, it’s John Elway’s turn to handle the football kick-off.

Topps had Elway sign a box of its 2010 base products, which it will give away to one collector on its Facebook page on Wednesday.

Elway, the 50-year-old Super Bowl-winning quarterback, has been enlisted to deliver an audience by appearing on some network news and sports programs to talk football…and football cards.

Elway spent some time at MSNBC, where he talked about the promotion and also about the possible lockout looming in 2011, rookie salaries and…the nation’s economy.
