The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead are going to get their own trading cards. Topps has teamed up with AMC to produce digital and physical trading cards based on the popular post-apocalyptic television shows.

The Topps Company is announcing an official partnership with AMC to introduce “terrifying, never-before-seen content” from the TV phenomenon The Walking Dead and its popular companion series, Fear the Walking Dead, for fans to collect and trade.

The Topps Digital app, The Walking Dead: Card Trader, is now available in the App Store and Google Play Store. It is the first place that fans can access new Topps trading cards from the zombie shows. The app will feature new digital card releases on a daily basis, covering the entire history of The Walking Dead, from Rick’s initial discoveries in abandoned Atlanta during Season 1 to the suspenseful introduction of Negan in the Season 6 finale.

In the same app, and for the first time ever, fans of Fear the Walking Dead will also be able to collect and trade cards of new favorite characters including Madison, Travis, and the enigmatic Victor Strand as they experience the collapse of society.
