November 10, 2004 (SEATTLE) — Topps Inc., makers of the best-selling MLB™ SportsClix™ collectible
miniatures game (CMG), is proud to announce the upcoming 2005 MLB™ SportsClix release, next season’s
new SportsClix release. The game is produced by WizKids Inc., a subsidiary of Topps.

“The 2005 MLB™ SportsClix set offers more options for collectors and players alike,” said Mike Samora,
WizKids® vice president of Marketing. “Everything about this great game has been expanded, improved
and tweaked for this exciting release.”

The game plays faster, with everything two people need to get into the dugout packaged in one low-priced
Starter Set. Booster Packs expand collections with rare Hall of Fame players like Lou Gehrig and Babe
Ruth, and they also include the elusive Master Piece Babe Ruth figure.

Starter Sets (MSRP $9.99) contain four preselected figures, enough tokens to fill a dugout, complete rules, special dice, a playmat and a collector’s list. Booster Packs (MSRP $4.99) contain two randomly selected figures. Learn more about MLB™ SportsClix online at www.wizkidsgames.com/sportsclix/mlb.
