Star defender Trevor Lawrence and Topps have announced an exclusive deal to produce a box of 50 books that will be launched in April.
The 50 trading cards will each have a unique design, of which 20 will be created by Lawrence’s brother, Chase and sister-in-law, Brooke, who are professional artists. Lawrence is projected as the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL draft next month and is the most successful defender in Clemson’s history.
“I’m excited to work with Topps on this truly unique set,” Lawrence said. “Chase and Brooke are extremely talented artists and it’s special to work with them on these custom designs.”
The market for trading cards, especially beginner books, has grown in the last year, and the demand for Lawrence’s card is supposed to be very high.
“There are so many things that make Trevor unique, including his incredibly talented family, and Topps has been the right partner to bring this to life,” said Alan Zucker, Excel Sports Management partner and marketing agent. Lawrence.
“This unique collection gives fans a piece of memory that they will not be able to get anywhere else.”
The set of 50 books will include a mix of oil paintings, digital representations, autographed pieces and inspiration from previous Topps drawings. The 20 books created by Lawrence’s brother and sister-in-law were inspired by the 1960s and 70s, as well as comic book illustrations and graphic novels.
The exact release date is not yet known, but Topps says it will be in April, close to project time, which begins on April 29. The Jacksonville Jaguars were widely designed to select Lawrence with the first overall selection.
