Topps Secures Exclusive Autograph & Memorabilia Rights with Francisco Lindor

Topps and four‑time All‑Star shortstop Francisco Lindor have agreed to an exclusive partnership that brings his pack‑pulled autographs back to hobby boxes for the first time since 2020—and for the first time ever showcasing him in a New York Mets uniform. The announcement, made via Topps’ social channels today, marks a major milestone for collectors who have long awaited Lindor’s return to on‑card signature releases.
Lindor’s last hobby‑box autograph appeared in the premium 2020 Topps Tier One lineup, where a limited run of 100 cards featured his distinctive double‑loop signature in blue ink on thick cardstock. Since his trade from Cleveland in early 2021 and subsequent contract extension with the Mets, licensed on‑card autos haven’t been available—until now.
Under this new deal, Topps plans to distribute Lindor’s Mets‑uniform autograph cards across its 2025 hobby products. In addition to pack‑pulled treasures, the agreement covers officially licensed memorabilia items: expect authenticated game‑used baseballs, jerseys, and potentially patch cards that highlight Lindor’s dynamic infield play.
Despite flying somewhat under the radar in the hobby market, Lindor’s resume is built on consistent performance: a Gold Glove winner with multiple Silver Sluggers and a narrow runner‑up finish in last season’s NL MVP race behind Shohei Ohtani. His combination of defensive prowess and offensive production makes him a natural fit for collectors seeking high‑quality autographs and memorabilia.
Topps’ partnership with Lindor not only fills a five‑year gap in his autograph availability but also expands the opportunity for fans to chase new signature cards and keepsakes from one of baseball’s most electrifying shortstops.
