Royal Wedding gets its own trading card set via Topps >> BlowoutBuzz.com #royalwedding

Surely the Markle family would be good for a few autograph cards, perhaps less likely on the groom's side.

I cannot remember anything I cared about less than this wedding.

Every time I hear "American Princess"... first I vomit... and then I feel sorry for George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, et al, etc. who must be spinning in their graves right now. Didn't they (and many others) fight a revolution to basically flip the bird to the British monarchy?

And BTW everyone realizes where the British royalty gets all their money right? Basically they collect rent on land that their ancestors stole, raped, and pillaged the English countryside over the last 1000 years to obtain.

Just my rant for the day.

.

exactly my thoughts as well

Will this actually sell? Seems like a niche of a niche of a niche. Put me in the camp of who the hell cares about Royal Families. Topps On Demand is the future for all topps releases at some point.

Things I care about more than this wedding.

1. Which of my friends have recently changed their Facebook avatar.
2. The new cast of Dancing with the Stars
3. Which Celebrity had whiter teeth at the Deadpool 2 premiere.
4. The weight loss secret doctors don’t want me to know about.
5. What they talked about on The View this morning

Honestly not sure why everyone feels the need to say they don't care about a one-off set like this. Then just don't buy it lol.

I work with a few people from/in the UK and if you thought Star Wars but their name/brand on anything/everything, it's nothing compared to the amount of merchandise they have for a royal wedding.

IndySportsCards · 05-17-2018, 12:31 PM

Wonder if this card will be in the set

Fenway55 · 05-17-2018, 01:05 PM

I think this wedding is kind of overblown. I can actually understand the interest when William got married. He is the future king of the United Kingdom. His wife would become the future queen and their firstborn the future king/queen.

But here we just have the brother whose position in the line of succession keeps getting further and further away. I think, perhaps, the media is paying extra attention because I guess everyone looks at a trainwreck which it seems this event is in danger of becoming (if it hasn't already).

Let's just say I won't be buying these cards and listing singles on eBay like I do for GoT, SW and football.

Yes I agree however the ethnic cleansing on the native peoples of North America (I include my own country and their pitiful record on this as well) is slightly different than what the so-called "royals" have done to the Welsh, Irish, Scottish, and their own people.

Sorry I really wasn't talking about the cards.

Who do I think I am taking a thread off topic?

Bad me. *spank*

moistpaper · 05-17-2018, 01:46 PM

Looks like something i’ll find at Goodwill in a few years.

Vargaman · 05-17-2018, 03:55 PM

The bigger issue is this set is $20 for 20 cards, yet Solo is $10/card?

F**k Topps lol.

I don't know why people care. So glad I cashed out on her Fringe auto

Cavaliercards · 05-17-2018, 08:40 PM

Glad they are doing this set so I can add it to the Fringe Auto I have from when paps first reported her and Harry.

Am a fan of the Royal Weddings and enjoy watching the festivities

Their offspring will be too far away from the chain of succession to matter anyways.
