Aaron is Week 3 Redemption card for Topps

Posted Feb 23, 2012 by Bob D'Angelo

Topps dropped the Hammer for its Prime 9 redemption program. And it’s about time.

Topps announced its redemption card for Week 2 in the Home Run Legends Prime 9 program today, and this week’s choice is Henry Aaron.

Aaron joins Willie Mays, who was the first card announced in the promotion two weeks ago; and Babe Ruth, who was card No.2 last week.

Each week, for nine consecutive Fridays, Topps will reveal another player. Collectors then can bring their redemption card to a participating card shot and get an exclusive Topps Chrome Refractor of Aaron.

Redemption cards can be found in 2012 Topps Baseball Series 1 Hobby packs (1:18) and Jumbo packs (1:5). Each card is denoted by a Week number (1, 2, 3, etc.).
