I ran across this ad that is being auctioned on eBay. I remember joining the Topps Sports Club when I was about 8 or so. They sent an 8x10 picture, a newsletter, and some sample cards three times a year. If I remember right it was only around for a year or two. The baseball picture I got was Steve Garvey. I wasn't about to put that one on my wall since I was a Reds fan at the time and my dad was (and still is) a die-hard Giants fan. I don't remember what football picture was sent, but I did have a picture of Bobby Clarke on my wall for a while. It would be cool to see Topps do something like this again.
