Key prospects

The base opens with Wander Franco, Alex Kirilloff, Kody Hoese and Hunter Bishop, and the short prints include Adley Rutschman, Bobby Witt Jr., Josh Jung, Casey Mize, CJ Abrams and Joey Bart. All-Star Rookies autographs feature Anthony Volpe, Riley Greene and Tarik Skubal.

Grading considerations

Short prints of Rutschman and Witt and the Wander Franco base card are among the cards collectors commonly consider for grading. The black 1971-style borders show chipping readily, and coin relic cards are thicker than base cards. See our grading scale.
