February 22, 2005 (SEATTLE) - Topps Inc. and WizKids Inc., makers of the hit collectable miniatures game (CMG) MLB SportsClix, announced that the tsunami relief auction for the MLB SportsClix 2005 Limited Edition Collector's Tin netted $250 for the American Red Cross.
The tin contains four rare silver-based Hall of Fame players from the 2005 MLB SportsClix release: Reggie Jackson, Rod Carew, Tom Seaver, and Carl Yastrzemski. These figures normally come randomly packed in booster packs, and will not be available until March 2005.
"It's truly inspiring to see people come together for a good cause," said Mike Samora, Vice-President of Marketing at WizKids. "It shows just how much our fans are willing to help others." The tin will only be available in extremely limited quantities, and makes an excellent centerpiece for any MLB SportsClix collection.
This auction was the first chance for an MLB SportsClix fan to purchase these amazing Hall of Fame players before the game's release in March.
