Octagon
Topps Industry Conference set for next week in Arizona
A top prospect and the reigning National League MVP will be there ... and dealers and distributors out there should be, too.
Topps' second Industry Conference is set for next week at the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale, Ariz., and registrations ($250) are still available for the event beginning on Sunday.
Set in the heart of the Cactus League, this event will include several speakers during the three-day duration of this one with San Diego Padres prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. a signing guest for the opening reception Sunday and Christian Yelich to be on hand Monday night. There also will be gifts for each day of attendance.

UFC helps serious memorabilia collectors get into the Octagon
Topps' UFC trading cards have helped usher MMA more into collectors' minds as those who focused on the traditional sports saw the dollar signs attached to the autographs and Relics of notable names inside the Octagon.
But a visit to the UFC Store might do that even better as UFC sells fight-used memorabilia directly to the public on a first-come, first-served format.
The fight-used gloves above, for example? They were worn by Miesha Tate during the UFC on FOX Dillashaw vs. Barao 2 card where she downed Jessica Eye via unanimous decision. They'll cost you $2,999.99 to add them to your stash.
Gloves, shorts, fight-sponsor banners, walkout shirts, walkout caps and other gear are all available.
