ACO Cornhole Pro Signs His Way into the History Books

On May 13, 2011 ACO Pro Matt Guy signed his way into the sports history books.

The ACO and Matt viewed the printed version of their first sports trading card opportunity through the courtesy of The Topps Company.

The Topps Company, a leading creator and marketer of sports trading cards, was on hand to watch Matt autograph a special group of his sport trading card.

The autographed cards will be randomly placed in Topps 2011 Allen & Ginter Baseball packs. A lucky purchaser could end up with a very special keepsake.

This year's Allen & Ginter product will feature other notable autographs such as Manny Pacquiao, Annika Sorenstam, John McEnroe and many others.

Packs include Major League Baseball players, notable figures from history, champions of sport, and important American figures.

"Matt is our King of Cornhole. He has been five years in a row. To include an ACO Pro with other great sports celebrities is an honor to Matt and the sport of cornhole," said Frank Geers President of American Cornhole Organization.

Shipment is scheduled for Summer 2011 and will be sold in most major Retail and Hobby stores across the U.S.
