Topps Triple Threads 2012 Includes Autographed Handprint Cards

By

Autographed NFL handprint cards will be part of Topps Triple Threads 2012, an annual issue set to hit store shelves on Friday.

The concept is similar to the Cal Ripken “Touched by Greatness” card that was part of Archives Baseball and created a bit of a buzz.  The card included Ripken’s autograph as well an impression of his actual inked handprint.

The NFL handprint cards will be distributed via redemption cards in several upcoming Topps products.

The subjects who participated are the cream of the rookie crop.  They include:

Andrew Luck

Robert Griffin III

Justin Blackmon

Brandon Weeden

Ryan Tannehill

Trent Richardson

Michael Floyd

Triple Threads will be the first opportunity to find these unique cards, but also look in 2012 Topps Supreme, the all-new Topps Valor and Five Star Football.

Meantime, Topps has been busy tweeting out images of other low population pulls that will be part of Triple Threads.
