The Topps Company, Inc. is an American company that manufactures trading cards and other collectibles. Formerly based in New York City,[4] Topps is best known as a leading producer of baseball and other sports and non-sports themed trading cards. Topps also produces cards under the brand names Allen & Ginter[2] and Bowman.[3]

In the 2010s, Topps was the only baseball card manufacturer with a license with Major League Baseball.[5] Following the loss of that license to Fanatics, Inc. in 2022, Fanatics acquired Topps in the same year.
