Topps is using the Avalanche blockchain to mint its latest collection with Major League Baseball (MLB), the trading card company announced on Tuesday.

  • Wax hosted the release of Topps’ first MLB-licensed NFT collection in April.
  • Topps said in its press release that it was using Avalanche because it is “fast, low cost, and eco-friendly.” The company added that “the site removes the need for special wallets or token apps and provides a single location to buy, sell and explore officially licensed Topps NFT collections.”
  • The new “Inception” NFT collection will be released in September on Toppsnfts.com and take inspiration from the physical card series the company has released in the past.
  • MLB licensing is seen as the crown jewel of the sports collectible space, with a storied history of physical card sales and industry-leading resale value.
