SARAH PALIN MAKES HER TOPPS DEBUT

Earlier this year, Topps issued a 12-card insert in its 2008 Topps Baseball product called “Campaign 2008” featuring Barack Obama, John McCain, Joe Biden and nine other presidential hopefuls. The set garnered national media attention as loyalists traded and bided on their favorite candidates.

Today, Topps announces that it has added an additional subject to the set…Republican VP hopeful Sarah Palin. But her card will have a twist!

Palin will have 2 cards: Pictured as you see her today and pictured as an Alaskan Beauty Queen.

The tiara-wearing governor version will have a limited print run and can be found nation-wide the second week of October in packs of 2008 Topps Updates & Highlights.
