Show notes

Bobby Witt Jr. who gave a signed baseball bat to a fan who had his 1/1 card; and Evan Carter who received a 1/1 World Series autograph card after making a deal with the fan who had tagged on Instagram. Will this be a growing trend as more players get into the hobby?

Then the guys breakdown what's in 2024 Topps Series 2 which was released this week, which subsets, inserts, and SP cards they like (ie. Jackson Holliday SP Fun Face card), which are gimmicky, and their overall opinion on how this set is begin marketed by Fanatics.

Will the Return of Topps Chrome Basketball Have Same Prestige with Unlicensed Product?; Other Product Release News from 2024 Topps Industry Conference May 03, 2024

Show notes

EPISODE 209 - Clark and John get right into the Friday episode by starting the discussion on all the announcements from the recent 2024 Topps Industry Conference.

First, they give their thoughts on the return of Topps Chrome Basketball this summer, which will feature unlicensed cards (ie. no team logos) but it will contain autographs of superstar players like Victor Wembanyama, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry to name a few.

Will the unlicensed product still have the same wide appeal simply because it's released by Topps or will it be undervalued similar to other unlicensed sets like Panini Baseball or Leaf autograph cards?

They also touch upon where the MLB Debut Patch cards will be for the top rookies who made their debut this year including Jackson Chourio and Jackson Holliday.
