Willie Mays Kicks Off Topps’ Prime 9 Program

Topps has announced that the first card available in the 2012 Home Run Legends Prime 9 program is the “Say Hey Kid” Willie Mays (redemption card No. 1).

Every week (for nine straight weeks), Topps will announce a “Prime 9 Player of the Week." Collectors holding the corresponding Prime 9 redemption card for that week can bring the card into their participating local HTA store and redeem it for an exclusive limited-edition Topps Chrome Refractor.

Redemption cards can be found in 2012 Topps Baseball Series 1 hobby packs (1:18) and Jumbo packs (1:5). Each card is denoted by a week number (1, 2, 3, etc.).

Stay tuned next Friday to find out which Home Run Legend will be designated as Redemption card No. 2!
