Elvis is back in the building. 2022 Topps Elvis Presley: The King of Rock and Roll trading cards bring the music icon into the print-to-order era. Over the course of the year, the set will tell the story of Presley’s life and career with new cards each week.
Three cards will be added to the checklist every Tuesday for 50 weeks. A complete 2022 Topps Elvis Presley set will have 150 cards.
Exclusive to the Topps website, cards are available on their own or in weekly groups of three. This gives collectors a couple of entry points into the set. Of course, there’s the every-card approach. But collectors can also go for singles depicting a key moment, favorite song or a card with a particularly stellar photo.
Parallels are randomly included: Pink (/45), Blue (/10), Red (/5) and Gold (1/1).
How to Order
Individual cards are $9.99 each. Discounts are available for order five ($29.99) or 20 ($79.99) copies of the same card. Weekly three-card bundles are $24.99. Another option is eBay. Some sellers pre-order in bulk and make singles available on pre-sale for less than Topps’ website. Going this route, it’s important to understand cards will take a little longer. It’s also wise to consider their feedback rating.
The slow-burn approach is similar to the one used for Muhammad Ali in 2021. The big difference here (besides the subject matter) is that the 2022 Topps Elvis Presley set has an original design. The Muhammad Ali set was inspired by a variety of Topps sets that corresponded with the year of the depicted event.
This isn’t the first time Topps has produced Elvis Presley trading cards. In 1956, they released a 66-card set that is still extremely popular today.
More recently, they included cards, including relics, in such products as 2001 and 2002 Topps American Pie.
The last company to produce full sets of Elvis Presley trading cards was Press Pass who released several products between 2006 and 2012.
