Topps is letting collectors decide on the design of one element of 2020 Series 1. The company is asking collectors to vote on their favorite designs from past sets from each decade.
The designs voted most popular will be featured next year.
The company says it will be “celebrating the decades” with next year’s set and the vote is part of it.
Collectors can vote for one design for each decade from the 1950s-2010s on this page.
