Team is extremely grateful and thankful for all our collectors who have joined us since day one, day 127, or even yesterday. We are very lucky to have all of you here and want to spend some time celebrating and reminiscing with you. <br /> <br /> Stay tuned for exciting birthday treats, like a preview Variant of 2021's Base Set, and of course, Cards to celebrate Mickey Mouse's birthday! But first...<br />

<align=center>We also brought together our own answers about what our favorite collectibles were throughout the past year:<br /> <br /> 🔹<b>Chris:</b> The John Ratzenberger Collection - Having the opportunity to collaborate with Pixar legend John Ratzenberger was an unforgettable experience for the team. He treated each question thoughtfully and let his signature sense of humor shine through in his responses.<br /> <br /> 🔹<b>Josh (@JRINGLER29):</b> Topps Classic - the entire brand! As a huge Topps collector and big fan of anything retro or nostalgic, it was really fun to see these recreations come to life. It would have been so fun to collect the original Topps Cards, if only they existed in the 1940's... and beyond 😉! Can’t wait to do more of these in the future!<br /> <br /> 🔹<b>Matt:</b> Chernabog Base (I added him last minute), Pooh Pies (Designed by Brandon who works on Star Wars), Davey Jones Original Art for Topps DigiCon (I was so excited to draw that!), Animated Pixel Art for Wreck-It Ralph (tried it on an early different set that didn't work out...so glad it did with this one!), and Heavy Metal Mickey (Who know that image existed!) - so many to choose from!<br /> <br /> 🔹<b>Gabbie (@TOPPS_GABBIE):</b> “Through The Decades” will always have a special place in my heart because working with the Walt Disney Animation Research Library was one of the most amazing experiences of my career. I also loved our Leading Ladies Set, especially the Vanellope Cards because she’s my favorite!<br />

<align=center>🔹<b>Walt Disney Animation Research Library:</b> The Disney Collect! team has had the incredible opportunity to work with the team at the Walt Disney Animation Research Library to bring you special and rarely-seen behind the scenes content in beloved Sets, such as "Through the Decades" and "Pinocchio."<br /> <br /> 🔹<b>Topps DigiCon:</b> This year also marked a milestone for Topps Digital as we held our first ever, completely remote Digital Convention. During DigiCon, we were able to highlight original art work and exclusive interviews with talent, such as legendary actor John Ratzenberger. <br /> <br /> 🔹<b>Watch Parties:</b> It goes without saying that these are unprecedented times we are all living in and the world has changed so much this year. This past April, we introduced our first ever Topps Digital Watch Party series and with it, we discovered a new way to stay connected with our community and enjoy our favorite Disney content together, while also staying safe and socially distanced. Grab your popcorn and favorite comfy pants, because Watch Parties are here to stay in year two!<br />

<align=center><b>Super Rare Update!</b><br /> <br /> Before we wrap up this celebration, the Disney Collect! Team is excited to announce that a few Sets have been upgraded to Super Rare:<br /> <br /> 1) Chicken Little - 15th Anniversary Collection - Posters - Gold Variant<br /> <br /> 2) Dinosaur Character Collection - 20th Anniversary Variant<br /> <br /> 3) Icons - Christmas 2019<br /> <br /> 4) John Ratzenberger Collection - Gold Variant<br /> <br /> 5) Wreck-It Ralph Collection - Hero's Duty
