All I can say is that someone over at Topps must be reading Sports Card Info. Back in 2009, I suggested that it would be a cool idea to see pins incorporated into trading cards somehow. While reading up on 2012 Topps, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw they’re planning to include World Series Champion pin cards. I’d love to get my hands on the two Phillies World Series Champion pin cards if they make them. Topps better make them!!!
I know many traditional collectors will just see this as another gimmick. But if they did something like this in Allen & Ginter nobody would complain. If this takes off, I’d like to see rarer pins incorporated into cards. This is a great start. Thanks for listening Topps

It looks like these are taking the place of the manupatches from the blasters, or maybe the manugloves from this year’s release. If they are replacing the manupatches, they’ll be available in enough of a quantity to make them worth pursuing as a set. I’d rather see a photo of the team celebrating the victory than a single player from the set, but it’s a great idea either way.
If they will be actual pins then this is awesome. If they are just images of pins or something stuck to a card then I’ll have to wait and see.
