What’s New
Topps has released a special Topps Now card to commemorate the Artemis II mission, which launched on April 1 from Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. The mission marks the first crewed lunar journey since 1972, with a 10-day flight plan that will take the crew around Earth, past the moon, and back. The Artemis II crew includes Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist 1 Christina Koch, and Mission Specialist 2 Jeremy Hansen. The crew features the first woman, person of color, and non-American to travel to the moon.
The Topps Now Artemis II card is available as a print-on-demand release directly from Fanatics through April 5.
