HISTORY
The Topps Company Inc. was founded in 1938 as a confectionary company, which still forms an important part of the company's business with popular brands such as Bazooka, Ring Pop and Push Pop. However Topps is now best known for it's trading cards - in the fields of sport and entertainment. I'm sure most of us who follow football has bought a packet of Bazooka bubble gum football trading cards at some stage in our younger days during the peak period of the 1970's.
In 1951 Topps created the first modern day sports trading card set and has continued to set the standard for quality and innovation to the present day. Now headquartered in New York City, the company has worldwide distribution, annual revenues over $294 million, is publicly traded on the NASDAQ exchange, and employs over 500 people worldwide.
