Fright Flicks
editNo mention of "Fright Flicks" (a line of horror movie based trading cards from the same era as Garbage Pail Kids)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C54:4600:1C31:58A3:F22E:FBA0:EBE3 (talk) 05:31, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- Never heard of them. Need some sources to add them to the article. And that's even if they're worth mentioning and not just one of the dozens of short-lived lines that have been published and have no significant impact. (Unlike Garbage Pail Kids, which became classics.) oknazevad (talk) 03:16, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
Correcting Founding History
edit | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Hello: I would like to suggest a correction to the first paragraph of the article about Topps. There is some confusion about the American Tobacco Company. The book citation referenced in the Topps Wikipedia article (Hornish, David (July 3, 2013). The Modern Hobby Guide To Topps Chewing Gum: 1938 To 1956. Lulu.com. p. 8. ISBN 978-1-304-19328-5) mentions there were several companies started with this name. The one that is connected to Topps was the one started by Morris Shorin in 1908. The revision below replaces the last two sentences in the first paragraph of the history section.
I’ve included a corrected rewrite along with a couple of additional sources that mention Morris Shorin, and the four Shorin sons that founded Topps. Thank you for your time and consideration, MBCollectFanatics (talk) 22:11, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Topps was founded in 1938 by four brothers, Abram, Ira, Philip, and Joseph Shorin. The roots of Topps can be traced to American Leaf Tobacco, incorporated by the Shorin brothers’ father, Morris Shorin, in 1908.[1][2] MBCollectFanatics (talk) 22:11, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see the 1908 date in the sources. Rusalkii (talk) 06:34, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi User:Rusalkii: I appreciate you reviewing my requests and providing feedback. Regarding the request to correct the history section, this source which has already been used in the article cites the 1908 information. Hornish, David (July 3, 2013). The Modern Hobby Guide To Topps Chewing Gum: 1938 To 1956. Lulu.com. p. 8. ISBN 978-1-304-19328-5. It is on page 8 in paragraph #5. I’m hoping this can be used for the correction.
- I look forward to your reply. Thank you! MBCollectFanatics (talk) 22:08, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @MBCollectFanatics:, thank you for the clarification. I have edited the text accordingly. Superboilles (talk) 19:06, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

Topp MLB & MLS Debut Patch
editHello:
 | Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. |
There has been broad media coverage in 2023 and 2024 on Topps’ MLB Debut Patches. The patches have also debuted in Major League Soccer. I think this news would improve the article in the Topps in the modern baseball card industry section. Probably as a paragraph at the end of the section. Below are some edits with formatted sources.
It may be that the Major League Soccer content would be better suited for the ‘Trading Cards for Other Sports’ section. Thank you for your time. Best, MBCollectFanatics (talk) 20:50, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
At the start of the 2023 MLB season, Fanatics, Topps, and the MLB announced that all MLB rookies would wear "MLB Debut" patches on their jerseys. The patches are worn during a player's first big league game, then removed, authenticated by MLB Authenticated Program.[1] The patch is then included in a one-of-one Rookie Debut Patch Autograph Card, to be randomly inserted into Topps baseball card packs during the year.[1][2]
As reported in March of 2023, the highest valued card was the MLB Debut Patch card for New York Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe, which received an offer for purchase of $150,000.[2]
Rookie Debut Patches first appeared in 2023 Topps Chrome Update Baseball in November.[3]. The debut patches have expanded to Major League Soccer.[4] MBCollectFanatics (talk) 20:50, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Partly done: While there's nothing objectionable about this text, I'm not convinced it makes sense to have three (admittedly short) paragraphs entire about this. I've inserted the first paragraph only, feel free to make follow-up edit requests if you'd like to suggest changes. Rusalkii (talk) 06:30, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you User:Rusalkii for making this edit update. Best, MBCollectFanatics (talk) 22:09, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
