are you going to want to be part of this meeting greet? Because just announced, that's right. They just dropped the checklist so I can formally announce this. Tops Allen and Ginter, that awesome line of cards that drops every single year in the fall and winter is dropping next week. I believe it is December the 3rd. Last year, we had C.T. and Derek in the line. Well, guess what? This year, all four of those people I just named are getting official Tops cards. Mark Long, who already got one earlier this year, he got his first pitch card, but now he's getting a Ginter card. Also, Westenbergman, Michelle Fitzgerald, and Carr Maria Sorbelo. For Bello, I believe they all have relic cards as well, which will have patches or pieces of their jersey or other forms of wardrobe that they submitted to tops.
