TOPPS AND THE �SAY HEY KID� BACK TOGETHER AGAIN

Topps announces it has signed a multi-year autograph deal with the legendary �Say Hey Kid�, Willie Mays.

The first offering of Mays� Autograph will appear in the highly-anticipated 2012 Topps Baseball Series 1, which hits shelves early February. After that, collectors can expect to find the slugger�s autographed cards in products such as Topps Tribute (image attached), Gypsy Queen and much more. In addition, Topps will be issuing a variety of relic cards featuring the Hall of Famer.

The Topps and Mays relationship dates back to the beginning when Willie appeared in the company�s famed 1952 Topps Baseball set. Willie then went on to star on Topps cardboard for another 21 consecutive seasons.
