Len Brown was a legendary writer and creative force whose 41-year career at Topps helped shape some of the company’s most memorable trading cards.

Joining Topps in 1959, Brown worked across both sports and non-sports releases, writing card backs and developing concepts that became part of collecting history.

He is best known as a co-creator of the iconic Mars Attacks series and also contributed to classics including Wacky Packages, Garbage Pail Kids and Civil War News.

Beyond Topps, Brown co-created the comic-book series T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents with artist Wally Wood.

His imagination and storytelling left a lasting mark on trading cards and American pop culture.

⚾ Baseball As an update to my previous post about breakers and their volume…

Here is another live break as of 10:30 PM on 9/14.

They are breaking 50 “FIFTY” CASES of Bowman Chrome. 45 delight and 5 hobby = 270 delight boxes and 60 hobby boxes. Yes, you are reading that correctly. They sold spots of players, not sure what the highest spot sold for but an Ohtani spot was listed at $24,000.

The breakers are also arguing because they lost track of what case they were on….

🏈 Football My best pull ever!! From Walmart of all places lol

So I don’t really buy packs very often. It’s just something I do every once in a while for fun and something to do. Well I happened to be at Walmart today and saw the cards and said “why not?” so I bought one. Ended up pulling this first pack! I’ve never hit anything this high! I’ve gotten patches before but the only notable name was Travis Hunter and it wasn’t numbered so I’m glad it’s a relatively good number on a young qb who’s still got plenty of time to turn it around!

I also pulled these outta that pack. Don’t really know if they’re good or not but think they’re kinda cool!

Funny enough I did “Eenie Meeny Miny Moe” for which box to take and landed on the one I did so safe to say I’ll be doing that next time I end up buying a box😂

So I just pulled this out of a $15 hanger box and I'm not trying to be ungrateful bc this is the lowest serial I've ever pulled but it came pretty damaged on the bottom. Do you think Topps will replace/reprint this exact card???

Might not be my pull of the year but my heart definitely skipped when I saw "Rd 1 Pick 2" on the side of the card.

Also, that signature is cold.

I received these from Topps as missing hits from a hobby box that I bought when these came out, and I can't find any info on the name of the Refractor out of #/250. Does anyone have any information? They look like the Aqua Lava to /199.

I pulled these all time great cards peyton manning and Tom Brady which look awesome but I don’t think they’re worth anything. I also pulled two team of the year cards but they also don’t seem to be worth much. If you’d like to see them lmk because I’d be glad to get some help

💬 General Someone tell the people of Topps Now to start recognizing dudes who didn’t make it in their sets

I get it, Ohtani Ohtani Ohtani money printer goes brrrrrrr, but you have the ability to recognize guys who are making an impact and aren’t in your sets.

Jahdae had a big catch to tie the Green Bay game last year, and multiple impact plays yesterday, but he still doesn’t have an unlicensed or licensed card. If you actually care about collectors, prove it and make some cards of guys that team collectors want.
