Following the completion of the day's postseason action, fans can go to Topps.com to see who was selected "MLB Playoff Player of the Day" -- to be selected on a combination of popularity and statistical analysis -- and download that player's custom wall art to be shipped to them the next day. The player and wall art will also be featured every day on Bsports' "Stats Insights" that airs on Fantasy Sports Network and is hosted by Shannon Sommerville.

"We see big growth in the collectible area for us as a brand, and are proud to be able to bring this new series to fans as the MLB postseason gets going," said Jeff Heckman, Manager of Marketing, Topps Digital in a press release. "The access to such iconic images and items gives us a unique position in the marketplace, and the response from fans of a certain age wanting to both re-live and share their memories of their favorite teams with a new generation has been very encouraging. Between the collector's series and the wall art of the day, fans can have the best of past and present right at their fingertips."
