Topps Portrays Prince Fielder on World's Largest Baseball Card

now the big question ....... card saver or top loader??

Topps unveiled the world's largest baseball card on Tuesday, measuring 90 feet by 60 feet.

Prince Fielder .....
As if the 5'11", 275-pound behemoth could get any bigger.

In all likelihood, no one is going to be collecting or trading these cards. Then again, I've seen people do stranger things.

Topps, a Brooklyn-based company, has been around since 1938. The company made its first sets of cards in 1951. Since then, Topps has been looking for new ways to spice up its products, from new designs to different materials.

The latest move by Topps is just another means to attract publicity. Judging by the overall reaction to the unveiling on Tuesday, it appears the company did a fine job.

No! No! People are getting this all wrong...This is actually Topps thinking ahead, because by year 5 of Prince's contract, he'll be fat enough to require a card of these dimensions..

Ok, if someone gets it graded I'll build a table to store the slab in

Hopefully the grounds crew aren't standing on it. How much gets taken off for footprints?

I wouldn't mind having one of those. I'd probably unroll it on a friends lawn once a year just for kicks.

Now that Fielder walked on it, it has the world's largest crease!

Topps is actually cutting up the card and giving slices away in giveaways thru their Twitter account and pieces will also be found in 2013 Topps Series 2 as relics. True story.

"For all of us who collected baseball cards as a kid, our memories of opening up that new set came flashing back on Tuesday, in the form of a larger-than-life Prince Fielder."

Opening that new SET? I'm thinking Ryan is kind of a young guy.

I had an image of being killed by a giant stick of gum.

So great to see a life-sized card of Prince.

Hey, i am a big guy too, and i love to watch Prince play!

Great idea by Topps.
