Topps Revives Boxing Cards After 74 Years, Featuring Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather & More - Release Date & How to Buy

Now, however, the trading card and collectibles company announced they will be releasing a new set called Topps Chrome Boxing, its first boxing card set in 74 years. Preorders will go live on Aug. 11 at 11 am ET, with retailer availability yet to be announced. 

This 100-card collection features legends like Mike Tyson and Sugar Ray Leonard, current stars like Tyson Fury and Ryan Garcia, and even influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul. 

Oddly, the Topps X account also announced that the company will no longer include Gervonta Davis in the collection for reasons unknown. 

This boxing set is long overdue, as even the sport of MMA has been represented by the company with Topps acquiring the exclusive license for UFC cards back in 2008.

The set will include fighters signed with Top Rank, Golden Boy, and Matchroom, making this the first boxing card set to be by multiple promotions. It will also feature autographs from first-time signers, refractors, and rare parallel 1/1 cards.

Topps Chrome Boxing will also contain 1951 Ringside Autographs, which pay homage to the original set, and unique inserts like Hidden Gems and Be First. Each pack contains eight cards, and hobby boxes will contain 12 packs, with case-hit Helix inserts adding to the chase.

Topps’ return to boxing cards is great news for both avid collectors and new fans. It will likely be one of the most talked-about releases of the year, and given the lucrative resale prices of the original 1951 set (like a Sugar Ray Robinson card selling for $6,500), possibly the next big investment in sports memorabilia.
