If they were only just authorized to fire-up the printers, at midnight, it could be some time until we see these hit the shelves!

Perhaps one of our lawyers are versed in manufacturing law and/or trademark rights, etc.....???
Asa Newell posted a photo of a Topps Chrome 45th Anniversary RC - that featured him in a Hawks uniform - on his TikTok account a month ago that he has autographed.

So the cards have been in production a while and signed by players.
