Bowman Football, a branch of Topps, will soon launch a line of trading cards featuring Tebow in a New York Jets jersey and Manning donning a Denver Broncos uniform. The packs of cards will hit store shelves in May. Â Check out Tebow’s card after the jump…
The images have been retouched to reflect the changes for the two popular quarterbacks. Tebow’s card shows him in the middle of a pitch, wearing the green and white, while Manning’s picture displays him standing tall in the pocket and looking downfield, a Broncos logo emblazoned on the side of his helmet.
Vice president for sports Mark Sapir said the company waited until the last moment to render the cards because, “We wanted them to be timely.â€
“It’s important to capture the sport accurately, which is why we’re doing everything we can to get the players in their new uniforms,†Sapir added.
The Manning and Tebow cards will be printed on a limited basis.
“These cards are going to be a big deal,†Sapir said, “and they’re going to be super valuable.â€
