Oh what a year it’s been for Topps NFTs!
It’s official, the Topps NFTs platform turned one year old, and we have a lot to celebrate.
In the past year, we’ve added to our portfolio with releases from Major League Baseball, Bundesliga, Godzilla, Bazooka Joe, and more.
Our platform has gone through some notable user experience updates, such as the ability to Showcase your favorite NFTs in your collection, and an overall facelift to our Marketplace from its original launch.
We have so much more planned for this year and beyond – and also have some special gifts for our loyal OG fans!
Keep reading for more platform highlights and details on the your gifts!

Major Releases this Year
We’ve had over 15 exciting releases in the past year, and along with those, some equally exciting community events – both digital and IRL – including Fan Votes, Pack Rip challenges and live events, Trade Show Giveaways & Raffles (NY Comic Con, The NSCC, NFT.NYC just to name a few) plus Showcase challenges and the highly revered Collection Challenges.
Some of our fan-favorite rewards from challenges include those from the MLB 2021 End of Year Challenge Rewards, and the from the Godzilla vs. Gigan cross-collection challenges (Toppsicob, anyone?)

Top 3 Sales on the ToppsNFTs Marketplace
Special thanks to YOU, the Collectors
With all we’ve accomplished, the past 12 months have felt more like 60. Those of us along for the ride know it has been filled with ups and downs in the ToppsNFT universe, and the wider web3 universe too!
Topps wants to make sure to celebrate with our loyal, long-time Collectors and supporters, so we’ve put YOU at the forefront of our celebration.
The ToppsNFTs team is glad to reflect on the past 12 months and proud to say THANK YOU to the Collectors. We couldn’t have done this without you, and we are proud to share some fun, nominal gifts with you. The one-time gifts below should be available in your account by the end of this week!
Avatars!
First up, Custom Avatars on ToppsNFTs.com for our OG Fans and most loyal members. We have some new Avatars for everyone, and even more custom avatars for our most loyal and active fans. See full gift details below.
Discord Perks
Our Discord Community has been so influential in Topps NFTs growth, and we want to gift some members of the community with Roles that unlock a members-only channel, a visual “flair” for your profile, and special permissions for you to enjoy in the Discord. See full gift details below.
NFT Packs
Last but not least, we have one final gift for some of you. We’ve tapped into the ToppsNFTs Vault and will be giving away some NFT Packs from our reserves (and, before you ask: no we’re not giving away any Bundesliga Celebration Packs!) See full gift details below.
