Key prospects

Image variations add Eloy Jimenez, Bo Bichette, MacKenzie Gore, Royce Lewis and Tim Tebow, while the Mystery Redemptions cover Casey Mize, the No. 1 pick in 2018, and Nolan Gorman. Short prints include Brendan McKay, Sixto Sanchez and Ryan Mountcastle.

Grading considerations

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. variations, Real One Autographs and Red /1 parallels are among the cards collectors commonly consider for grading. The matte stock shows corner wear, and the coin relic cards are thick enough to need larger holders. See our grading scale.
