It’s almost football time again (thank god, the Astros are stinking right now), and Topps is back with 2012 Topps Football, coming out in just under two weeks. For the first time in quite a while, they’re using a distinct design for football as opposed to baseball, and I’m personally very excited to see this. Not much is changing on the set itself, but it definitely gives the set a much-needed breath of fresh air in my opinion.
Release Date: August 8, 2012
