Orioles star Jackson Holliday's exclusive 1/1 Rookie MLB debut card on Topps with custom autograph set to drop
The Baltimore Orioles might have another future superstar on their hands in the form of Jackson Holliday. While his rookie campaign did not go as well as hoped for, he flashed glimpses of the sky-high potential that helped him get selected with the first overall pick of the 2022 MLB Draft.
Despite his struggles and inconsistency during his first season in the MLB, Jackson Holliday remains one of the most sought-after names when it comes to collectibles.
From baseball cards to game-worn memorabilia, when it comes to Holliday, there are few players with the financial upside that the Orioles infielder does.
Well, for those looking to get their hands on a rare collectible of Jackson Holliday, Topps has announced a Rookie Debut Patch Autograph for the Baltimore Orioles infielder. Given the fact that it is a 1-of-1, it will undoubtedly be a coveted item.
There are a number of reasons why this card will be so valuable to collectors everywhere. Not only is it a 1-of-1 autograph card, but it will also feature a patch that was actually on Jackson Holliday's jersey when he made his official MLB debut back on April 10, 2024.
Given the rarity of this item, the value is going to be through the roof, particularily if he becomes the superstar that many believe he is capable of becoming. It's not only Jackson Holliday who will be featured in this style of card but young players across the MLB, including Elly De La Cruz of the Cincinnati Reds.
It will be interesting to see what the price of the card will be once it is in the hands of a collector. In recent years, we have seen the value of baseball cards shoot up, especially with superstars such as Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani.
That being said, we have seen values tumble such as with Wander Franco. It's a risky game, but when it hits, it could be worth life-changing money for the owner.
The Orioles will need Jackson Holliday to improve if he hopes to be an every day player in 2025
The son of St. Louis Cardinals All-Star Matt Holliday will need to take a major step forward at the MLB level in 2025 if he hopes to be a key contributor. The Baltimore Orioles are considered one of the World Series favorites heading into next year. If they are going to make a deep postseason run, Holliday will need to step up.
Given the fact that the Orioles are in the middle of a championship window, Holliday will need to improve upon his .189 batting average from this season. If he continues to struggle, he could find himself in either a platoon role or back in the minors sooner rather than later.
