Topps Issues “Nickname Letter Patches” List
The all-new 2009 Topps Baseball Series 1 is on shelves and the hobby edition is offering a unique way to collect the all-time greats of baseball.
Randomly inserted in boxes, are NICKNAME LETTER PATCHES sequentially numbered to 50. Each letter in a player’s nickname is represented…for example collectors can spell out Jackie Robinson’s nickname “J-A-C-K-I-E”. (image attached) All the manufactured letters are fashioned after the look and feel of the player’s original flannel jersey.
And for a political twist, there are nickname cards for President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and Vice President Joe Biden.
