Throwback Twitter account @XFLCards was one of the first to tweet about the new card set. The fact that Topps will issue the first new XFL trading card set in 19 years must be a relief to @XFLCards since they have been relegated to tweeting about the older XFL trading card set since the account was established in March 2009.
Details on #XFL2020 trading cards via sell sheet (similar to #Topps#AAF):
Clearly, the operator of @XFLCards has fresh work in store. Steve Tanner, the Chicago-based fan behind the Twitter handle refers to his work as a “community building experiment with some other dead leagues.” He also posts information about card sets from other “dead leagues” such as the AAF, AFL, WLAF, and NFL Europe.
“I tend to post 5 cards a week, one from each dead league. XFL, AAF, AFL, WLAF, and NFL Europe,” he said.
The interesting fact is that one of the former dead leagues he reports on has come back to life!
