SANDY KOUFAX CONCLUDES POPULAR PRIME 9 HOBBY SHOP PROGRAM

The final PRIME 9 subject to be announced is Redemption card # 9…Sandy Koufax.

For the past 9 weeks, Topps and Major League Baseball has designated a “Prime 9 Player of the Week” to celebrate the “prime” players at every position in MLB history. Collectors holding the corresponding Prime 9 Redemption card for that week brought their cards into participating HTA stores and redeemed them for an exclusive limited edition Topps Chrome Refractor.

The cards can be found in Series 2 Hobby packs (1:18) and Jumbo packs (1:5). Each card is denoted by a Week number (1, 2, 3, etc.).

Stay tuned for another exciting hobby store promotion in conjunction with 2012 Topps Baseball Series 1!
