Topps has partnered with Bryce Harper on a new multi-year agreement, furthering its dedication to delivering the exciting products that fans have come to expect.

This new deal extends the current agreement between Topps and Harper. Topps is the only trading card company that can feature Harper’s autographed cards in products and showcase the young star on packaging.

“I am happy to be a part of the Topps family,” says Harper. “I still get excited when I see my Topps cards, and I am glad to hear that fans are excited about them, too.”

Harper, the Washington Nationals starting outfielder and five-tool player, is one of the youngest superstars in the league. In 2012, he made his Major League Baseball debut at the age of 19 and became the youngest player ever to be selected to the All-Star Game. In addition, he was named the N.L. Rookie of the Year. In 2013, Harper was once again selected to the All-Star Game.

“Bryce has quickly become one of the biggest names in Major League Baseball,” says Clay Luraschi, VP of Product Development at Topps. “At the age of 21, Harper is leading baseball’s emergence of young, extremely talented stars and collectors can’t get enough of him.”

Bryce Harper autographed cards are currently some of the most sought after in the market. Harper’s cards will be available in many of Topps 2014 Baseball products including Topps Chrome, Triple Threads Baseball, Update Series, Five Star Baseball and more.
