Elvis Presley Still Ranks in Collectibles

Elvis Presley has been dead for nearly 45 years now. His vinyl records still sell on eBay and elsewhere, as does some of his other memorabilia. Topps is betting that there is still a market for Elvis Presley trading cards.

Topps is issuing a retrospective of Presley’s life with exclusive photos and a new unique design. Topps is issuing a total of 150 cards, offered out as 3 cards each week. Topps is also issuing foil parallel cards. The cost of the first weekly issue is $9.99.

As with most of the special offerings of late, the print runs will be revealed after the sales window expires. And with many others, the artwork is subject to change. Image below provided by Topps.
