Maybe card sets for 30-second TV commercials?

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

When they make an on demand set of this thread, can I be in it?

I forgot how good for the time that commercial was. I am still waiting for my Maybelline New York commercial cards to come out but no such luck at this point... It truly wouldn't surprise my if they already existed as well!

I guess they wanted to be the first to do a card set for the "moviie" and to do that they had to make some cards of the trailer. Next Topps will be making "NOW" card sets of movie scripts before they get greenlighted for production.

Topps is losing their cash cow, they have to build up collector bases elsewhere. I don't blame them. But, yeah, this is pretty absurd.

Oh, neither do I, especially knowing their nearly 45 year relationship with the LucasFilm empire.
I could see images from the teaser on cards being used in a promo set, so maybe some sort of tie-in to Disney+ Day 2021 with other upcoming Star Wars projects (there was also a 20-30 minute doc on the character's history released that day as well that they could have done stuff with (like autos and mem), or as part of a chase within the proper Book of Boba Fett set.
But yeah, a stand-alone set on the teaser itself, like I said, pretty much is "we're just milking this property for all its worth at this point!

I guess you haven't been paying attention to set releases in recent years, but this is far from the first time Topps has done this. There are several sets purely based on a trailer for a movie or television show. All you have to do is look right here in the database and you'll find them
