The card for every Yankees devotee, baseball fanatic, and anyone who has ever heard Metallica’s Enter Sandman echo through Yankee Stadium and felt their heart sink — because they knew what was coming.
Canadian artist Chris Tutty created Sandman — a breathtaking, painterly vintage baseball card tribute to the greatest closer in MLB history. Styled as a classic Topps collector edition, the card features a stunning close-up portrait of Mariano Rivera — #42, Closer for the New York Yankees — navy Yankees cap with the iconic NY logo, calm focused eyes, navy pinstripe Yankees jersey. Behind him, a dynamic full-body action shot shows him mid-windup on the mound, the iconic Yankee Stadium pinstripes blazing in blue and white behind him. The bold header reads HAPPY BIRTHDAY! ★ TOPPS ★ NEW YORK YANKEES. The Yankees logo blazes in the lower left. The number 42 circle blazes in the lower right. Bold navy and cream typography across the bottom reads:
MARIANO RIVERA ★ ENTER SANDMAN
For the baseball lover. The Yankees devotee.

For the birthday, the game night, or just because — this is the card that will make every Yankees fan lose their mind.
