Pretty epic stuff. Topps was synonymous with Baseball Cards since 1951 and some of the recent heritage issues were pretty cool. I bought 8 binders of old cards at an Estate Sale yesterday. It's been fun to start going through them.

Greed. Hide your dagger with a smile. Takeover.

Pretty sure they will end up acquiring Topps, and keeping the Topps name/brand.

Topps = baseball. Need to keep the name.
