2022 Donruss Optic Aidan Hutchinson #267

Chet Holmgren 2022 Panini Prizm #275 Rookie Card
#2 overall pick who missed year 1 with a Lisfranc injury then came back to average 16.5/7.9/2.4 BPG. 7-footer who shoots 3s and blocks everything. SGA + Chet is OKC's championship core for the next decade.
2022 Panini Prizm Isaiah Likely #356 Rookie Card
Prizm RC. Likely was a 4th-round pick who became Lamar Jackson's favorite target. His TD-that-wasn't in the 2024 AFC Championship (ruled out of bounds by inches) is one of the most debated plays in NFL history. 11 TDs in 2024 as the full-time starter after Mark Andrews departed.

Young Guns RC. Marchenko came from Russia as a raw but immensely talented power forward. His shot is one of the heaviest in the league and he can score from anywhere inside the offensive zone.
2022-23 Panini Prizm Jalen Duren #240 Rookie Card
Prizm RC. Jalen Duren was the youngest player in the 2022 NBA Draft at 18 and immediately made an impact as Detroit's starting center. His combination of size (6-10, 250), athleticism, and motor produces consistent double-doubles. The Memphis one-and-done is the Pistons' center of the future.
2022-23 Panini Prizm Shaedon Sharpe #265 RC
Prizm RC. The most athletic player in his draft class — Sharpe was picked #7 by Portland despite never playing a college game at Kentucky. His 48-inch vertical leap and above-the-rim game make every highlight reel. Portland is building around him and Scoot Henderson.
2022 Panini Prizm Kenneth Walker III #305 RC
Prizm RC. The Michigan State star transferred from Wake Forest and won the Doak Walker Award before being drafted in the 2nd round. Walker immediately took over as Seattle's lead back and rushed for over 1,000 yards. His breakaway speed and vision make him one of the NFL's most exciting runners.
2022 Topps Series 2 MJ Melendez RC #443
Flagship Topps rookie of the Royals' switch-hitting power threat. Melendez was part of the KC core that ended the franchise's playoff drought. His ability to catch and play outfield gives him everyday lineup flexibility that boosts his card value floor.
2022 Panini Prizm Brian Robinson Jr. RC #340
One of the NFL's greatest comeback stories. Robinson was shot twice in an attempted carjacking weeks before his rookie season — and still returned to play 12 games and rush for 797 yards. Resilience personified.
2022 Panini Prizm Wan'Dale Robinson RC #355
Prizm RC for the Giants' dynamic slot receiver. Robinson transferred from Nebraska to Kentucky and showed versatility as both a runner and receiver. His 4.36 speed and agility make him a weapon in short areas.
2022 Panini Prizm Tyler Linderbaum #375 RC
Prizm RC of the best center in football. Linderbaum was the consensus #1 center in the 2022 draft — his 4-year run at Iowa was arguably the most dominant by a center in college football history. Originally a defensive lineman, he converted to center and became a unanimous All-American. The Ravens drafted him #25 to anchor Lamar Jackson's rushing attack, and he's been a Pro Bowler in each of his first two seasons.
2022 Panini Prizm Isaiah Pacheco RC #390
Prizm RC of the Chiefs' 7th-round steal. Pacheco went from Rutgers to a 2x Super Bowl champion as the starting RB alongside Mahomes. His physical running style and breakaway speed made him a fantasy football darling. A 7th-rounder starting in the Super Bowl is one of the NFL's best stories.
2022-23 Upper Deck Simon Edvinsson YG #468
Young Guns RC. Edvinsson was the 6th overall pick in 2021, a 6-6 Swedish defenseman with elite skating and puck-moving ability. Detroit's rebuild has centered on franchise-changing talent (Raymond, Seider, Edvinsson). The Red Wings' Original Six collector base makes this YG RC highly sought after.
2022-23 Upper Deck Arber Xhekaj #472 Young Guns Rookie Card

The Albanian-Canadian defenseman from Hamilton went undrafted, fought his way onto the Canadiens roster, and became an instant fan favorite with his combination of devastating hits and surprising skill.
2022 Topps Chrome Update Seiya Suzuki RC #USC50
Chrome Update RC. Suzuki was Japan biggest free agent signing — the Hiroshima Toyo Carp legend signed a 5-year $85M deal with the Cubs. In NPB he hit .319 with 38 HR in his final season, winning Best Nine awards and Gold Gloves. His smooth right-handed swing and disciplined plate approach translate to MLB. International collecting crossover appeal is massive with Japanese collectors.
2022-23 Upper Deck Kaiden Guhle YG #461
Young Guns RC. Guhle is a physical, two-way defenseman from Prince Albert, Saskatchewan — deep in the heart of Canadian hockey country. Drafted 16th overall by the Canadiens in 2020, he won a QMJHL championship and represented Canada at the World Junior Championships before joining Montreal. His skating and physicality at 6-2 draw comparisons to a young Shea Weber. Saskatchewan boys play tough hockey, and Guhle brings that prairie toughness to the Bell Centre every night.
2022 Panini Prizm Aidan Hutchinson RC #352
Prizm RC. Hutchinson was the 2nd overall pick in 2022 after a historic career at Michigan where he was the Heisman runner-up as a defensive end. The Plymouth, Michigan native stayed home to play for the Lions — a hometown hero narrative. His 11.5 sack rookie season confirmed the hype.
2022 Donruss Travon Walker RC #340
The Donruss base rookie of the 2022 #1 overall pick. Walker's development from raw athlete to productive pass rusher has been a key storyline for the Jaguars' rebuild.

Breakout TE star. 111 catches in 2024 — most by a TE since Travis Kelce. John Mackey Award winner at Colorado State. The next elite TE in the NFL.

Chris Olave 2022 Panini Prizm #345 Rookie Card
#11 overall pick from Ohio State. 1,000+ yards in each of his first 2 seasons despite terrible QB play. The best route runner in the 2022 class. When the Saints get a QB, Olave explodes.
2022-23 Upper Deck Young Guns Dylan Guenther #455 Rookie Card
Second YG RC. The 9th overall pick in 2021 was the first player to really embrace Utah's new identity. His 30+ goal pace in 2024-25 puts him on track for a 40-goal season by age 22. One of the best young shooters in the NHL.
2022 Panini Prizm Jordan Mason #374 Rookie Card
Prizm RC. Jordan Mason went from undrafted free agent to 1,000-yard rusher when he stepped in for the injured Christian McCaffrey in 2024.

2022-23 Panini Prizm Tari Eason #250 Rookie Card
Prizm RC. Tari Eason is the ultimate energy player — the LSU product leads the Rockets in steals with his 7-2 wingspan and relentless motor. Drafted 17th overall, he immediately became one of the best defenders in the rookie class. His ability to disrupt passing lanes is elite.
2022 Panini Prizm Jameson Williams #330 Rookie Card
Prizm RC. Jameson Williams is the fastest player on the Lions — the Alabama product was the 12th overall pick despite tearing his ACL in the National Championship game. His sub-4.4 speed and big-play ability make Detroit's offense terrifying when he's healthy.
2022 Panini Prizm Kenny Pickett #330 Rookie Card
Prizm RC. Kenny Pickett was the first QB drafted in 2022. Traded from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia, he backs up Jalen Hurts on a Super Bowl contender.
2022 Panini Select Trent McDuffie RC

Prizm RC. #5 overall pick from Purdue. Ivey is one of the most explosive guards in the NBA — his first step and downhill speed are elite. Son of Niele Ivey, Notre Dame women's basketball head coach.
2022 Topps Chrome Jarren Duran #165 RC
Chrome RC. The 2024 All-Star Game MVP who tripled and scored the winning run. Duran went from being sent to the minors to becoming one of the best leadoff hitters in baseball. His speed and gap power make him a 20/20 threat.
2022 Panini Prizm Rachaad White #355 RC
Prizm RC. The Bucs' lead back from Arizona State who rushed for 1,000+ yards in 2023. White is a three-down back who excels as a receiver — his 64 catches in 2023 led all NFL running backs. Tampa Bay's offense runs through him.
2022-23 Panini Prizm Jabari Smith Jr. #260 RC
Prizm RC. The #3 pick was the consensus #1 prospect before draft night. Smith Jr. is a 6'10" forward who can shoot threes, defend multiple positions, and block shots. Houston's long-term frontcourt anchor.
2022-23 Panini Prizm Ben Mathurin RC #262
Prizm RC of the Pacers' high-flying Canadian scorer. Mathurin arrived from Arizona with fearless confidence — scoring 19 points in his debut and showing the athleticism that made him the #6 pick. The Montreal native brings French-Canadian flair to Indiana basketball.
2022-23 Upper Deck Brandt Clarke YG #465
Young Guns RC of the Kings' offensive D-man. Clarke was the 8th overall pick — an elite skater with exceptional puck-handling from the blue line. Born in Nepean, Ontario, he captained Barrie in the OHL before joining LA's deep prospect pipeline.
2022-23 Upper Deck Shane Wright YG #471
Young Guns RC. Wright was projected #1 overall for two years before slipping to #4 in the 2022 draft. Seattle selected him, and after a patient development path through the AHL, he broke out in 2024 with 50+ points. Burlington, Ontario producing elite hockey talent is tradition. His cards were deeply undervalued during the "bust" narrative — that window is closing.
2022-23 Panini Prizm Jabari Smith Jr. RC #258
Prizm RC. #3 pick and Houston rebuild centerpiece alongside Green and Sengun. Auburn product, Fayetteville GA. 6-10 stretch-4 prototype. Son of NBA player Jabari Smith Sr.

His Japanese-Swiss heritage and unique first name make him one of the most culturally distinctive players in the NHL. Undrafted goalies who shine in the playoffs are rare.
2022 Topps Chrome Hunter Greene RC #95
Chrome RC. Greene was the 2nd overall pick in 2017 as a two-way player — he hit AND pitched in high school in Sherman Oaks, California. He throws 100+ mph regularly, making him one of the hardest-throwing starters in MLB. The electric arm and LA roots create massive collector appeal.
2022 Topps Chrome Shane Baz RC #76
Topps Chrome RC. Baz was the 12th overall pick by Pittsburgh in 2017 — then traded to Tampa Bay in the Chris Archer deal, one of the most lopsided trades in recent MLB history. The Cajun-country right-hander throws 99 with a wipeout slider. Tommy John surgery delayed his trajectory but the stuff is electric.
2022-23 Upper Deck Juuso Parssinen YG #472
Young Guns RC. Parssinen is Nashville's best undrafted find — a 6-4 Finnish center from the Liiga who signed as a free agent and became a legit top-six player. Undrafted players who produce 40+ points are the hobby's ultimate bargain. His size and playmaking ability are rare for a free-agent signing.
2022 Bowman Draft Chrome Sal Stewart Prospect #BDC-32
Bowman Draft Chrome 1st. Stewart was Cincinnati's CompA pick (#32 overall) in 2022 out of Westminster Christian in Miami — the school that produced A-Rod. 6-3 right-handed corner infielder with plus raw power and advanced strike-zone awareness for a prep bat.
2022-23 Panini Select Walker Kessler RC #88
Select base for the Jazz big man. Kessler leads the NBA in blocked shots per game and provides the rim protection that allows Utah to be aggressive on the perimeter.
2022-23 Panini Select Mark Williams RC #92
Select card for Charlotte's young big man. Williams set franchise records for efficiency and showed why modern centers who can protect the rim and finish lobs remain incredibly valuable in the NBA.
2022 Topps Jarren Duran #340

Jarren Duran 2022 Topps Update #US175 Rookie Card
2024 All-Star Game MVP. Switch-hitter who broke out with 21 HR, 34 SB. The Red Sox center fielder nobody expected to become a star. Blazing speed and developing power. Long Beach State product.
Chet Holmgren 2022 Donruss Optic #190 Rookie Card
Optic RC. Holmgren was the most unique prospect in the 2022 draft — 7'0", 195 lbs but moved like a guard. Gonzaga product who dominated March Madness. The Thunder have the best young core in the NBA.
James Cook 2022 Panini Prizm #360 Rookie Card
Dalvin Cook's brother who has become the Bills franchise RB. 2024 breakout: 1,009 yards, 16 TDs — led the AFC in rushing touchdowns. Georgia product from the national championship factory. Josh Allen's running mate.
Kyren Williams 2022 Panini Prizm #410 Rookie Card

2022 Topps Chrome Hunter Greene #50 Rookie Card
Chrome RC. Greene debuted in 2022 and touched 102mph multiple times. His fastball is among the hardest in baseball. Tommy John surgery in 2019 delayed but did not diminish his stuff.
2022 Panini Prizm Jalen Pitre #325 Rookie Card
Prizm RC. Pitre made the All-Rookie team as a safety who can play in the box, at slot corner, or as a traditional deep safety. His versatility is rare.
2022 Topps Chrome Lars Nootbaar #180 Rookie Card
Chrome RC. Nootbaar became a global sensation playing for Team Japan in the 2023 World Baseball Classic. The half-Japanese Cardinals outfielder was adopted by Japanese fans as "Tatsuji" — his middle name.
2022-23 Panini Select Jalen Duren #175 Rookie Card
Select RC. Duren reclassified from 2023 to 2022, skipping his senior year of high school, spent one year at Memphis, and entered the draft a year ahead of schedule. Despite being the youngest player on every court, he led the Pistons in rebounding by his second season. His ceiling is Tyson Chandler with more offensive game.
2022 Topps Chrome Vinnie Pasquantino #205 Rookie Card
Chrome RC. Vinnie Pasquantino is the heart of the Royals' rebuild — the Old Dominion product has elite contact skills and gap-to-gap power. His 2023 breakout season (.271, 26 HR) cemented him as Kansas City's franchise first baseman.
2022 Panini Prizm Wan'Dale Robinson #375 RC
Prizm RC. The Giants' slot receiver who led the team in receptions in 2024 despite playing for a struggling offense. Robinson's quickness and route-running from the slot make him a PPR machine.
2022 Topps Chrome Ezequiel Tovar #220 RC
Chrome RC. Tovar is the rare five-tool shortstop playing in Coors Field. The Venezuelan product won a Gold Glove at 22 and smashed 26 homers. He is the cornerstone of Colorado's rebuild.
2022 Donruss Optic Rated Rookie Kenneth Walker III #225 RC
Optic Rated Rookie. Walker burst onto the scene with a dominant stretch including a 5-touchdown game. His combination of power, speed, and elusiveness makes him one of the premier young backs in football.
2022 Topps Chrome George Kirby #210 RC

2022 Upper Deck Young Guns Matthew Beniers RC #472
Young Guns RC. The #2 overall pick in 2021, Beniers won the 2023 Calder Trophy as NHL Rookie of the Year with 24 goals and 57 points. He is the franchise center Seattle has been building around since their expansion draft.
2022 Panini Mosaic Tariq Woolen #288
Mosaic RC of the Seahawks' shutdown corner. Woolen's combination of elite size and 4.26 speed is historically rare at cornerback. His WR-to-CB conversion story is one of the best in recent NFL history — a true 5th-round steal.
2022 Panini Prizm Jermaine Johnson II #375
Prizm RC of the Jets' emerging pass rusher. The #26 overall pick transferred from Georgia to Florida State and became the ACC Player of the Year. Johnson had 7.5 sacks in 2023 before a torn Achilles in 2024 — a classic buy-the-dip edge rusher.
2022 Donruss Optic Tyler Linderbaum #282 RC
Optic RC of the Ravens anchor. Offensive linemen are historically undervalued in the card hobby, but Linderbaum is changing that. He was the first center taken in the top 25 since Nick Mangold in 2006. His wrestling background (Iowa state champion) translates perfectly to the leverage and hand fighting required at center. He's the keystone of Baltimore's NFL-best rushing offense.
2022 Topps Chrome TJ Friedl #183 RC
Chrome RC of the Reds' center fielder. Friedl went undrafted out of Nevada and signed as a free agent — he then transferred to a JUCO before earning his shot. His 2023 breakout (.279, 18 HR, elite defense) proved the scouts wrong. Gold Glove-caliber defense in center field makes him the engine of the Reds' outfield.
2022 Topps Chrome Update Oscar Gonzalez #UC-60 RC
Chrome Update RC of the Guardians outfielder. Gonzalez became a Cleveland legend when he hit a walk-off single in the 15th inning of Game 3 of the 2022 ALDS against the Yankees — one of the longest postseason games in history. The Dominican-born slugger's power and dramatic timing made his rookie cards spike during that October run.
2022-23 Panini Prizm AJ Griffin #247 RC
Prizm RC of the Hawks wing. Griffin was the #16 pick in 2022 out of Duke, where he was a key contributor to Coach K's final four run. His father Adrian Griffin coached the Bucks (briefly) and played 8 NBA seasons. AJ's sweet three-point stroke (44.7% as a rookie) made him an instant impact player. He briefly stepped away from basketball for personal reasons in 2024, creating a unique buy-the-dip opportunity.
2022 Topps Chrome Tylor Megill RC #220
Chrome RC. Megill's story is remarkable: undrafted out of Fordham (a school better known for business than baseball), he carved his way through the minors on pure stuff alone. The Mets took a flier and got an Opening Day starter.
2022 Panini Select Isaiah Pacheco RC #260
Select RC. From Vineland, New Jersey to Rutgers to the Chiefs. Pacheco earned the starting job by Week 8 of his rookie year and never looked back. Two rings in his first two seasons.
2022-23 Upper Deck Hendrix Lapierre YG #476
Young Guns RC. Lapierre was projected as a top-5 pick before concussions in junior hockey dropped him to #22. Washington took the gamble, and his comeback has been remarkable. The Capitals need a post-Ovechkin identity, and Lapierre could be that cornerstone.
2022-23 Upper Deck Samuel Ersson YG #482
Young Guns RC. Ersson is a 5th-round steal from Sweden who worked through the Brynas IF system in the SHL before seizing the Flyers' starting goalie job. Late-round goalies who become franchise starters are among the best value plays in hockey cards — think Carter Hart's early trajectory but with better analytics. Philadelphia's legendary fanbase creates enormous demand for any goalie who proves capable of carrying the team.
2022 Panini Prizm Jordan Davis RC #355
Prizm RC. Davis ran a 4.78 forty at 340 pounds at the NFL Combine — the most physically freakish performance in Combine history. The Georgia national champion from Charlotte, NC was the #13 pick and anchors the Eagles interior defensive line. A human wrecking ball who demands double teams on every snap.
2022-23 Upper Deck John-Jason Peterka YG #467
Young Guns RC. Peterka is a German-born winger from Munich who became a 30-goal scorer for the Sabres. He played in the DEL (German pro league) at age 17 and was drafted 34th overall. Part of the Buffalo rebuild alongside Rasmus Dahlin, Tage Thompson, and Dylan Cozens. German hockey is surging globally and Peterka is its brightest young star.
2022 Panini Prizm Terrel Bernard RC #385
Prizm RC. Bernard is a small-town Texas kid from Jay, TX — a community of about 300 people — who became the Buffalo Bills' tackling machine. At 5-11 and 224 pounds, he's undersized but plays with ferocious intensity. His 2024 breakout (130+ tackles) established him as one of the NFL's premier young linebackers. Baylor's defensive tradition runs deep.
2022-23 Upper Deck Alex Turcotte YG #493
Young Guns RC. Turcotte was drafted 5th overall by the Kings in 2019 — one of the highest American picks in recent years. The son of former NHLer Alfie Turcotte, he grew up in Island Lake, Illinois and developed through the US National Team Development Program, the same pipeline that produced Jack Hughes, Auston Matthews, and Patrick Kane. His hockey bloodline and high draft position make him a compelling long-term card investment for Kings collectors.
2022 Panini Prizm Drake London RC #340
Prizm RC. London was the 8th overall pick in 2022 out of USC, where he was also a basketball player. The 6-4 receiver from Moorpark, California is a contested-catch specialist with rare body control. His dual-sport background gives him unique athletic attributes.
2022 Donruss Optic Aidan Hutchinson RC #258
Optic RC. The Michigan-to-Lions pipeline is collector gold — local hero who stayed home. Hutchinson leg injury in 2024 creates a buy-low opportunity. His pre-injury trajectory was DPOY-caliber, and the Lions Super Bowl window keeps demand high.
2022 Topps Chrome Gabriel Moreno RC #219
Chrome RC. Moreno was the top catching prospect in baseball when he debuted with Toronto. The Venezuelan-born backstop has elite contact skills — a throwback high-average catcher with 70-grade throwing. The Blue Jays traded him to Arizona for Daulton Varsho before 2023.
2022-23 Upper Deck Ryan McLeod YG #468
Young Guns RC. McLeod is a Mississauga, Ontario product who starred at Mississippi State before Edmonton drafted him 40th overall. His blazing speed and two-way game made him a reliable third-line center for the Oilers. Now in Buffalo, he has a bigger role in the Sabres' rebuild.
2022 Panini Donruss Optic DaRon Bland RC #345
Optic RC. The chromium finish on an NFL record-holder's rookie card — Bland's 5 pick-six season may never be matched. Fresno State to All-Pro is the ultimate late-round steal narrative. Optic parallels on this card are highly sought after by Cowboys collectors.
2022 Topps Chrome Edward Cabrera RC #204
Chrome RC. Cabrera throws 100 mph and has one of the highest swing-and-miss rates in baseball. From Santiago Rodriguez in the Dominican Republic, he represents the latest in a long line of Dominican power arms.
2022 Bowman Draft Justyn-Henry Malloy Prospect #BD-174
Bowman Draft prospect card. Malloy was a 6th-round pick in 2021 out of Georgia Tech (transferred to Vanderbilt, then Georgia Tech). Braves developed him into a high-OBP LF prospect. Traded to Detroit in December 2022 for reliever Joe Jimenez — one of the better under-the-radar org flips of the year.
2022 Donruss Treylon Burks RC #350
Donruss base rookie of the Titans first-round pick. Burks was a human highlight reel at Arkansas with his combination of size, speed, and elusiveness in the open field.
Trey McBride 2022 Panini Select #290 Rookie Card
Select Concourse. 2nd round pick who became a top-3 TE. Reliable hands, great route runner, tough over the middle. The Kelce succession plan for fantasy football.
2022 Donruss Optic Isaiah Likely #265 Rookie Card
Optic RC from Coastal Carolina. Likely put up 59 catches for 950 yards as the TE1 in Baltimore. The Ravens offense with Lamar and Likely is one of the most explosive in the NFL. He runs routes like a WR at 6'4" 245.
2022-23 Upper Deck Young Guns Dylan Samberg #220 Rookie Card
Young Guns RC. Samberg is a 6-4 shutdown defenseman who has become a top-4 fixture for the Jets. His physical play and improving offensive game make him a long-term building block.
2022 Panini Prizm George Karlaftis #320 Rookie Card
Prizm RC. Karlaftis is a Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs — a relentless pass rusher with Greek heritage who came to America as a teenager and became a 1st-round pick. His motor never stops, and his ability to win with power and technique makes him a perfect complement to Chris Jones.
2022-23 Panini Prizm Andrew Nembhard #257 Rookie Card
Prizm RC. Nembhard became a playoff legend in 2024, hitting the game-winning three to beat the Knicks in the ECF. The Canadian point guard from Gonzaga plays with poise beyond his years — a true floor general who elevates every teammate around him.
2022 Panini Select Jordan Mason #285 Rookie Card
Select RC. The undrafted success story is one of football's best narratives — Mason signed for minimum salary, spent two years learning behind Elijah Mitchell and CMC, then seized his opportunity with both hands. His 2024 season proved the 49ers' running back development system is elite.
2022-23 Panini Select Tari Eason #180 Rookie Card
Select RC. Eason transferred from Cincinnati to LSU and became the SEC Sixth Man of the Year before going lottery. His defensive versatility — guarding 1 through 4 — makes him invaluable in Houston's switch-heavy scheme. The offensive game is developing, but the defense alone justifies his draft position.
2022 Panini Select Jameson Williams #245 Rookie Card
Select RC. Williams transferred from Ohio State to Alabama and immediately became the Crimson Tide's best deep threat. His ability to stretch the field vertically for Jared Goff makes him the perfect complement to Amon-Ra St. Brown's possession game.
2022-23 Panini Prizm Dyson Daniels #240 Rookie Card
Prizm RC. Dyson Daniels emerged as the NBA's steals leader with the Hawks. The 6'8" Australian guard's length and defensive instincts are elite — he creates turnovers at a historic rate. G League Ignite product who went 8th overall in 2022.

Chrome RC of the Twins ace who won Olympic gold with Team USA in Tokyo 2020 before ever pitching in the MLB. Ryan combines elite command with deceptive delivery — his four-seam fastball plays up due to excellent extension and ride. Acquired from Tampa Bay in the Nelson Cruz trade, he became Minnesota's most reliable starter.
2022 Panini Contenders Bailey Zappe RC #126
Contenders RC of the record-breaking small-school QB. Zappe's journey from Houston Christian (formerly Houston Baptist) through WKU to New England is the quintessential underdog story. His 62-TD season set an FBS record that may stand for years.
2022-23 Panini Donruss Ben Mathurin RC #215
Donruss RC of Indiana's athletic wing. Mathurin's combination of explosiveness, shooting range, and fearlessness drew Devin Booker comparisons at Arizona. The #6 pick from Montreal represents Canada's growing NBA pipeline alongside Shai, Jamal Murray, and RJ Barrett.
2022 Panini Donruss Jermaine Johnson II #344
Donruss RC of the Jets edge rusher. Johnson's journey from Georgia transfer to FSU star to first-round pick is a testament to perseverance. His 2024 Achilles injury creates a buy-the-dip opportunity for collectors.
2022-23 Upper Deck Young Guns Sebastian Cossa #458
Young Guns RC of the Red Wings goaltending prospect, selected 15th overall in 2021. At 6-6 210, Cossa is a massive modern goaltender who uses his size to swallow shots. He dominated the WHL with the Edmonton Oil Kings, winning the league championship. Detroit has been patient with his development, letting him marinate in the AHL rather than rushing him, but when he arrives, he could be the franchise goaltender Steve Yzerman has been waiting for.
2022-23 Upper Deck Young Guns Jesper Wallstedt #471
Young Guns RC of the Wild's prized goaltending prospect, drafted 20th overall in 2021. The Swedish netminder is considered one of the best goalie prospects in a generation. He backstopped Lulea in the SHL as a teenager — nearly unheard of — and has dominated the AHL with Iowa. At 6-3 with elite positioning, quick reflexes, and a calm demeanor beyond his years, Wallstedt is the heir apparent to Marc-Andre Fleury in Minnesota.
2022 Bowman Chrome Alek Thomas RC #BCP-85
Bowman Chrome RC of the D-backs 5-tool center fielder. Thomas was a 2021 2nd-round pick who rose through the Arizona system quickly, reaching the majors in 2022. His combination of speed, defense, and gap-to-gap hitting makes him a potential 30-steal, Gold Glove center fielder — the kind of profile that sustains long-term card value.
2022 Panini Prizm Chig Okonkwo RC #369
Prizm RC of the Titans athletic tight end. Chigoziem "Chig" Okonkwo brings Nigerian heritage and explosive athleticism to the TE position — he ran a 4.52 forty at the combine, elite speed for a tight end. The Maryland product had a breakout 2023 season and represents the new generation of move tight ends who can line up anywhere on the field.
2022 Topps Update Bryce Elder RC #US220
Topps Update RC. Elder was a 5th-round pick from the University of Texas who rocketed through the minors. His sinker generates ground balls at an elite rate and he pitches with veteran poise. Atlanta's pitching factory at work.
2022-23 Panini Prizm Johnny Davis RC #240
Prizm RC. Davis was a consensus All-American at Wisconsin — a physical, tough-nosed guard who carried the Badgers on his back. Washington drafted him 10th overall, and Charlotte now has him as a development piece. His college dominance (19.7 PPG, First Team All-American) shows the ceiling.
2022 Panini Donruss Jake Ferguson RC Rated Rookie #348
Rated Rookie. Wisconsin produces NFL-caliber tight ends at an elite rate and Ferguson continues that tradition. His Midwest grit and reliable hands made him Dak's security blanket. Second-generation NFL players carry a family narrative that collectors love.
2022 Topps Chrome Update Josh Winckowski RC #42
Chrome Update RC — the premium chromium version of Winckowski's rookie. The College of Central Florida is a JUCO powerhouse that has produced several MLB arms, and Winckowski's path through their program to Fenway Park represents the democratization of baseball talent development. Chrome refractors of Red Sox pitchers always find a market — Boston's collector base is among the most passionate in the hobby.
2022 Topps Chrome Update Josh Smith RC #65
Chrome Update RC — the premium chromium version. LSU baseball is an elite program that has produced Alex Bregman, DJ LeMahieu, and Aaron Nola, and Smith carries that SEC pedigree. Originally a Yankees prospect, his trade to Texas put him on a championship team. Chrome refractors of World Series champions from elite college programs always find buyers — the intersection of school pride and championship glory is powerful.
2022 Topps Chrome Update Joey Wentz RC #38
Chrome Update RC — the premium version. Being traded for Shane Greene (a closer) gave Wentz the "key trade piece" label that prospect hounds love to track. His lefty arm and Georgia roots connect two passionate MLB markets — the Braves drafted him and the Tigers developed him. Chrome refractors of traded prospects always carry dual-market appeal that base cards lack.
2022 Donruss Optic Derek Stingley Jr RC #234
Optic RC. The Stingley family story spans three generations of football. Derek Jr. at LSU was drawing Patrick Peterson comparisons as a true freshman. Houston's investment at #3 overall shows they see a franchise cornerback. Texans rookies from the 2022 class are core pieces of a contender.
2022 Panini Prizm Jalen Tolbert RC #322
Prizm RC. Tolbert's rise from South Alabama — a Sun Belt program — to the Cowboys' receiving corps is a classic small-school success story. He caught 82 passes for 1,474 yards and 8 TDs in his final college season, earning the 88th pick. Dallas' massive national fanbase creates premium demand for any Cowboys skill player who earns targets from Dak Prescott.
2022 Panini Prizm Wan'Dale Robinson RC #383
Prizm RC. Robinson is a 5-8 slot weapon from Frankfort, Kentucky who transferred from Nebraska to Kentucky before being drafted by the Giants. His size makes him an underdog story — told he was too small for the NFL, but his quickness and route-running proved otherwise. New York Giants cards carry massive collector demand.
2022 Topps Update Jake McCarthy RC #US-122
Update RC. McCarthy was a 1st-round pick out of the University of Virginia and developed into a key contributor on Arizona's 2023 World Series team. His speed and defense in center field give him a floor of value, and his bat continued developing. UVA baseball produces consistent MLB talent.
2022-23 Donruss Jabari Smith Jr. Rated Rookie #218
Rated Rookie. Many had Smith as #1 over Banchero. 6-10 with shooting touch and defensive versatility. Legacy narrative — father played NBA.
2022 Topps Chrome Tyler Freeman #202 RC
Chrome RC. A contact-first hitter who raked at every minor league level. Freeman plays SS, 2B, 3B, and the outfield for the Guardians — the definition of a versatile asset. Rancho Cucamonga, California native.
2022 Topps Chrome Roansy Contreras RC #187
Chrome RC. Contreras is a Dominican right-hander from San Cristobal who was originally signed by the Yankees and traded to Pittsburgh in the Jameson Taillon deal. His electric stuff includes a mid-90s fastball and a devastating slider. The Pirates have a track record of developing young pitchers, and Contreras has the raw talent to be a frontline starter.
2022 Panini Prizm Nick Cross RC #370
Prizm RC. Cross is a hard-hitting safety from Hyattsville, Maryland who starred at the University of Maryland before being drafted by the Colts in the 3rd round of 2022. His combination of speed, physicality, and range makes him a modern safety prototype. Playing for his home-state Terrapins before going pro gives him a strong regional collector following.
2022 Panini Prizm Devon Allen RC #378
Prizm RC. Allen is the rare athlete who competed at two Olympic Games in the 110-meter hurdles (2016 Rio, 2020 Tokyo) before transitioning to the NFL. His 12.84-second personal best makes him one of the fastest humans to ever play professional football. Born in Phoenix, Arizona and a star at Oregon, he signed with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent. The dual-sport Olympic/NFL combination is almost unheard of in modern sports.
2022 Panini Prizm Wan'Dale Robinson RC #376
Prizm RC. Robinson was a 2nd-round Giants pick out of Kentucky (after transferring from Nebraska). The 5-8 shifty slot-back has elite short-area burst. An ACL tear wiped out his rookie season after a hot start. His career arc depends on health.
Kyren Williams 2022 Donruss #395 Rookie Card
Donruss RC. Williams was the Rams RB1 after the Cam Akers trade. 1,100+ rushing yards and a workhorse role in the McVay system. Late-round RBs who become starters are the best value plays in football cards.
2022 Panini Prizm Jaylin Williams #275 Rookie Card
Prizm RC. Williams went undrafted out of Arkansas but earned a roster spot with the Thunder through hustle and defensive intelligence. He became a key rotation piece for the best team in the West.
2022 Topps Garrett Mitchell #385 Rookie Card
Topps RC. Mitchell's story transcends baseball — he is the highest-drafted player ever with Type 1 diabetes. He manages his condition with an insulin pump while playing elite-level center field. His 70-grade speed from UCLA translates to game-changing baserunning and defense.
2022-23 NBA Hoops Jalen Duren #220 Rookie Card
Hoops RC. The New Castle, Delaware product was one of the most decorated high school players in the class — McDonald's All-American, Jordan Brand Classic, and the top center recruit. His development in Detroit alongside Cade Cunningham could form the Pistons' next championship core.
2022 Donruss Optic Kenny Pickett #280 Rookie Card
Optic RC. Pickett's trade to the Eagles positions him behind Hurts on one of the NFL's best rosters.
2022 Topps Update Bryson Stott #US45 Rookie Card

2022 Topps Series 2 Ranger Suarez #390
Flagship RC. Suarez converted from reliever to ace and never looked back. His sinker/changeup combination is nearly unhittable when located — lefties bat under .200 against him.
2022 Topps Series 2 Jhoan Duran #485
Flagship RC. Duran's splinker is the most unique pitch in baseball — a sinker thrown at 103 mph that splits like a splitter. Hitters swing and miss at air. His K rate is elite among closers.
2022 Topps Update Brendan Donovan #US243 RC
Topps Update RC. The modern super utility player — 5+ positions in his rookie year while batting .281. A Ben Zobrist comp with youth on his side.

2022 Panini Prizm Rashid Shaheed #390 RC
Prizm RC. Shaheed ran a 4.28 at his pro day and went undrafted — then scored on a 53-yard TD in his first NFL touch. The Weber State product is the fastest player in the NFL and one of the best deep threats alive.
Bailey Ober 2022 Topps Chrome #BO1 Rookie Card
Minnesota's 6'9" ace. Ober uses his height to create an extreme downhill plane on his fastball. 3.43 ERA in 2024 with improved strikeout numbers. The Twins' rotation anchor alongside Pablo Lopez.
2022-23 Donruss Optic Benedict Mathurin RC #185
Optic RC. Mathurin's combination of size, scoring ability, and competitive fire made him one of the steals of the 2022 draft. His willingness to take and make big shots as a rookie, paired with his developing defensive versatility, has established him as a key building block alongside Tyrese Haliburton in Indiana's exciting young core.
2022 Panini Select Dameon Pierce RC #190
Select RC. Pierce's running style — physical, downhill, and fearless between the tackles — made him one of the most entertaining backs to watch during his rookie year. His cards peaked during the 2022 fantasy football season and have since settled, making them an affordable entry point for collectors who believe in a bounce-back.
2022 Panini Contenders Nik Bonitto RC Auto #136
Rookie Ticket Auto. The on-card autograph version of Bonitto is the long-term hold — his 2024 breakout came out of nowhere and the market is still adjusting. If he sustains double-digit sacks, this becomes a premium defensive card.
2022 Topps Chrome Cal Raleigh RC #63
Chrome RC. "Big Dumper" became a fan favorite in Seattle with 30+ HR power from the catcher position. His walk-off HR to clinch the 2022 postseason berth ended the Mariners 21-year playoff drought.
2022 Panini Donruss Bailey Zappe RC #329
Donruss RC of the Patriots' cult hero quarterback. Zappe went from Victoria, Texas to Houston Baptist to Western Kentucky where he threw 62 TDs in a single season — then to the NFL where he won his first two starts and ignited "The Zappening" in Foxborough.
2022 Panini Donruss Khalil Shakir RC #342
Donruss RC of Buffalo's reliable slot weapon. Shakir's path from Boise State to Bills WR1 represents the new reality of NFL drafting — Day 3 picks who study film and perfect their craft can outperform first-rounders. His YAC ability is among the best in the AFC East.
2022 Topps Chrome Graham Ashcraft RC #152
Chrome RC of the Reds' power sinkerball pitcher. Ashcraft throws 97 mph sinkers that generate ground balls at an elite rate — a throwback approach in the launch-angle era. The Mississippi State product went from 6th-round pick to Opening Day starter in under two years.
2022 Topps Chrome Josh Lowe RC #198
Chrome RC of the Rays' versatile outfielder. Josh Lowe is the epitome of Tampa Bay's player development — a switch-hitting athlete with 20-20 potential who can play all three outfield positions. Brother of Nathaniel Lowe (Rangers 1B).
2022 Topps Chrome Alek Thomas RC #175
Chrome RC of the D-backs speedy center fielder. Alek Thomas is a second-generation MLB player — his father Eric Thomas played in the White Sox system. As a Filipino-American, Alek represents a growing demographic in baseball and brings massive appeal to the Filipino collecting community. He was a key part of Arizona's 2023 NLCS run.
2022-23 Upper Deck Mason Marchment YG #470
Young Guns RC of the Stars' undrafted power forward. Son of NHL enforcer Bryan Marchment (926 games). Mason developed into a skilled scorer, earning a big contract in Dallas.

2022 Panini Select Tyler Allgeier RC #230
Select RC. From Fontana, California to BYU to the Falcons. Allgeier averaged 5.3 yards per carry at BYU and brought that efficiency to the NFL. He and Bijan Robinson form one of the league's best backfield tandems.
2022 Prizm Alec Pierce RC #348
Prizm RC. Pierce is a prototypical X receiver — 6-3 with 4.41 speed and the ability to high-point contested catches with the best of them. Drafted out of Cincinnati at #53 overall, he was the Bearcats' top weapon during their historic College Football Playoff run. The Colts invested 2nd-round capital in his combination of size and speed, and Indianapolis's perpetual search for QB stability means Pierce's value will spike when they find their franchise passer.
2022 Prizm Tyquan Thornton RC #358
Prizm RC. Thornton ran a 4.28 at the 2022 NFL Combine — the fastest time recorded that year and one of the fastest in Combine history. Baylor produced a burner who the Patriots selected in the 2nd round at #50. New England rarely invests premium picks in speed receivers, making Thornton a significant commitment from the Belichick/Kraft organization. Miami natives who play in New England bring South Florida flash to the Northeast hobby market.
2022 Prizm Chigoziem Okonkwo RC #378
Prizm RC. Okonkwo is one of the most athletic tight ends in the NFL — running a 4.52 at 238 pounds at Maryland, which is wide receiver speed at tight end size. His Nigerian heritage connects him to one of the fastest-growing demographics of NFL fans and card collectors. The Titans selected him in the 4th round and he immediately became a red-zone weapon. Athletic freaks at TE (Kelce, Andrews, Kittle) are the highest-ceiling cards at the position.
2022-23 Panini Prizm David Roddy RC #248
Prizm RC. Roddy was the Mountain West Player of the Year at Colorado State before Memphis took him #23 overall. His physical 6-6, 255-pound frame combined with guard skills makes him a unique player type — part power forward, part wing. Brentwood, California native bringing Bay Area toughness to Memphis's grit-and-grind identity. Mid-first-round picks on playoff teams often become the hobby's best value plays.
2022 Topps Chrome Update Hayden Wesneski RC #45
Chrome Update RC. The Cubs' pitching staff needed homegrown arms, and Wesneski arrived from the Yankees system ready to compete. Sam Houston State doesn't produce many MLB arms, making his path unique. Wrigley Field cards in chrome carry a special visual appeal.
2022 Select Derek Stingley Jr RC #178
Select Concourse RC. LSU cornerbacks in the NFL have an elite track record — Peterson, Mathieu, Tre'Davious White, Greedy Williams. Stingley at #3 overall was the highest CB drafted since Jalen Ramsey. The Texans' rapid rebuild makes every 2022 draft pick's cards more valuable.
2022 Topps Chrome Josiah Gray RC #82
Chrome RC. Gray was the centerpiece prospect in the massive Scherzer/Turner trade — the deal that reshaped both the Dodgers and Nationals. Being the main return for two future Hall of Famers puts enormous pressure and collector interest on his cards.
2022 Panini Prizm Ty Chandler RC #390
Prizm RC. Rushed for 1,000+ yards in 2024 after Aaron Jones left. Nashville native, UNC product. 5th-round pick producing like a 2nd-rounder.

2022 Panini Select Cole Strange #260 RC
Select RC. Highest-drafted FCS offensive lineman in modern history. Classic Belichick pick from Savannah, Tennessee.
2022 Topps Garrett Mitchell #425 RC
Topps RC. The Brewers bet on Mitchell as a franchise centerfielder despite the diabetes diagnosis. His ACL tear in 2023 tested his resilience further, but his comeback showed the same grit that let him manage a chronic condition while playing pro ball.
2022 Donruss Optic Jahan Dotson #210 RC
Optic RC. Washington drafted Dotson to be their WR1, then traded him to Philadelphia — from one NFC East rival to another. The Penn State product polish as a route runner gives him a high floor even on a new team.
2022 Topps Chrome Drew Waters #215 RC
Chrome RC. Waters was once the Braves top prospect — a switch-hitting outfielder from Woodstock, Georgia with plus speed and raw power. His path through Atlanta, Kansas City, and beyond is a cautionary tale about prospect hype and a buy-low opportunity if the tools click.
2022 Topps Chrome Connor Wong #180 RC
Chrome RC. Wong came to Boston in the Mookie Betts trade — a piece in the most controversial deal in Red Sox history. The USC product from Kailua, Hawaii brings Hawaiian heritage to Fenway. His athleticism behind the plate and surprising pop make him a solid starter.
2022 Topps Update Joey Wentz RC #US265
Topps Update flagship RC. Wentz was the Braves' competitive balance pick #40 overall in 2016 — a lefty out of Shawnee High School in Georgia with a devastating changeup. Atlanta traded him to Detroit in the Shane Greene deal, and he developed into a back-end starter through the Tigers' pitching development system. First-round high school arms who make the majors always carry prospect pedigree in the hobby regardless of career trajectory.
2022 Donruss Optic Nick Cross RC #290
Optic RC. The Colts needed a playmaking safety and Cross has delivered with his aggressive downhill style. Hyattsville, Maryland is just outside Washington DC, and Cross representing the DMV area in the NFL carries special meaning for collectors from that region. His Maryland Terrapins connection adds Big Ten collector appeal.
2022-23 NBA Hoops Tari Eason #225 Rookie Card
Hoops RC. Born in Milwaukee, Eason grew up watching Giannis and developed a similar motor and defensive intensity. His steal rate in the NBA has been among the best for forwards, and his 7-2 wingspan creates havoc in passing lanes. Houston's young core of Green, Sengun, Thompson, and Eason has enormous upside.
2022-23 Panini Select Peyton Watson #185 Rookie Card
Select RC. Watson's defensive versatility is what makes him valuable — he can guard positions 1 through 4, and his shot-blocking ability at the forward position is rare. Learning from Jokic's basketball IQ and the Nuggets' championship culture, Watson's development curve is steep.
2022 Topps Series 1 Nestor Cortes #205 Rookie Card
Flagship RC. Cortes was released by the Yankees, Orioles, and Mariners before reinventing himself. His comeback story — from the minors to Yankees ace — is one of baseball's best recent narratives. Mustache Mondays at Yankee Stadium are in his honor.
2022 Panini Select John Metchie III #260 Rookie Card
Select RC. Born in Taiwan, raised in Ghana and Canada, Metchie's international background gives him a unique perspective. His route-running precision at Alabama caught Bryce Young's passes and now catches passes from C.J. Stroud. Cancer could not stop him.
2022 Topps Update Brandon Marsh #US80 Rookie Card
Topps Update RC. Marsh's flow and beard are iconic. His trade from Anaheim to Philly was a culture fit — the Phillies' blue-collar fans love his gritty style of play.
2022-23 Panini Prizm Nikola Jovic #235 RC
Prizm RC. Serbian big man, 27th to Miami — skilled stretch-4 with vision and shooting. 6'11" with guard skills in Miami's elite development system.
2022 Panini Prizm Malik Willis #340 RC
Prizm RC. Willis was once considered a potential #1 overall pick for his elite arm talent and 4.38 speed. The Titans drafted him in round 3, and after limited action he was traded to Green Bay where he won games as a starter.
2022 Topps Series 2 Max Meyer RC #450
Topps RC. Meyer showed flashes before injury. His pitch mix (fastball, elite slider, changeup) projects as a mid-rotation starter at minimum. The Marlins are rebuilding and he is a key piece.
2022 Topps Chrome Update Evan Phillips RC #USC200
Chrome Update RC. Phillips became one of the most dominant relievers in baseball after being claimed off waivers by the Dodgers, transforming into their high-leverage weapon with an unhittable slider. His rise from journeyman to World Series closer is one of the great reclamation stories in modern baseball.
2022-23 Panini Prizm Ochai Agbaji RC #249
Prizm RC. Agbaji arrived in the NBA as a proven winner, having led Kansas to a national championship as the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. His elite three-point shooting, defensive intensity, and winning pedigree made him an ideal fit for the Jazz's rebuilding plans as a high-character, high-floor prospect.
2022 Panini Donruss Dameon Pierce RC #328
Donruss RC. The Florida product became the most hyped late-round running back since Phillip Lindsay, with his cards spiking to 10x their initial value during his breakout rookie campaign. His subsequent decline serves as a reminder that one hot season does not guarantee sustained production — especially at the running back position.
2022 Topps Michael Harris II RC #525
Topps RC. Harris burst onto the scene in 2022, hitting .297 with 19 HR as a 21-year-old rookie for the Braves. He won NL Rookie of the Year over Strider and a Gold Glove in center field. One of the most complete young players in baseball.
2022 Upper Deck Young Guns Matias Maccelli RC #488
Young Guns RC. The Finnish playmaker won the AHL Rookie of the Year award before making the jump to the NHL. His elite vision and passing ability make him one of the most creative young forwards in the league.
2022-23 Upper Deck Dylan Holloway #478
Base RC of the Canadian power forward. Holloway's path from Wisconsin to Edmonton to St. Louis via an offer sheet was one of the most dramatic NHL transactions in years — the Blues saw a power forward with top-six upside and paid to get him.
2022 Topps Chrome Drew Rasmussen RC #175
Chrome RC of the ultimate perseverance story. Rasmussen was drafted three times, had two Tommy John surgeries, and finally made it to the majors with the Rays. In 2022, he threw 7.2 no-hit innings before being pulled — the most agonizing near no-hitter in modern baseball.
2022 Panini Donruss Devin Lloyd RC #337
Donruss RC of Jacksonville's athletic freak at linebacker. Lloyd's 4-INT rookie campaign from the LB position put him in elite company — only a handful of linebackers in the last decade have matched that number. The Utah standout redefined expectations for modern LBs.
2022-23 Upper Deck Pyotr Kochetkov #487
Base RC of Carolina's fan-favorite goalie. The 2019 second-round pick from Russia has the most entertaining personality of any NHL goaltender — his post-game celebrations are must-see TV. Hurricanes fans call him Koochie.
2022 Panini Donruss Jaden Hardy #242
Donruss RC of Dallas's microwave scorer off the bench. Hardy can get hot in a hurry — his 29-point eruption as a rookie showed what he's capable of. The Las Vegas native chose the G League Ignite path over college, betting on himself.
2022-23 Panini Prizm Ousmane Dieng RC #266
Prizm RC of the French wing prospect drafted 11th overall by the Thunder in 2022 from the NBL in Australia. At 6-10 with guard skills, Dieng is a raw but tantalizing prospect with a unique development path — leaving France for the NBL's New Zealand Breakers as a teenager. His combination of size, ball-handling, and shooting touch from range gives him enormous upside, though OKC has been patient with his NBA development.
2022 Panini Prizm EJ Liddell RC #267
Prizm RC of the Pelicans forward and Ohio State star whose career was derailed by a torn ACL in Summer League. Liddell was the #41 pick in 2022 after a dominant career with the Buckeyes, where his two-way ability made him one of the best players in the Big Ten. The ACL tear is the definition of buy-the-dip — his talent was never in question, only his health. Elite defensive instincts and a developing jumper make him a sleeper.
2022 Topps Chrome Kutter Crawford RC #212
Chrome RC of the JUCO-to-rotation success story. Crawford proved that late-round picks can become MLB starters through dedication and pitch development. His cutter — which his name practically demands — has become one of the most effective in the AL. Boston fans love the homegrown underdog angle.
2022 Topps Chrome Beau Brieske RC #198
Chrome RC of one of baseball's most improbable MLB stories. Brieske was a 27th-round pick in 2019 out of Michigan-Dearborn — an NAIA school that doesn't even compete at the NCAA level. The path from NAIA to MLB starter is nearly unheard of, making Brieske one of the most inspiring underdog stories in modern baseball.
2022 Topps Chrome Andre Pallante RC #205
Chrome RC of the Cardinals sinker specialist. Pallante was a 4th-round pick out of UC Irvine — a mid-major program that has produced several MLB arms. His heavy sinker generates ground balls at an elite rate, making him a valuable innings-eater in St. Louis. He stepped into the rotation as a rookie and showed the poise of a veteran.
2022-23 Panini Prizm Johnny Juzang RC #285
Prizm RC of UCLA's 2021 Final Four hero and the most prominent Asian-American college basketball player in decades. Juzang, who is of Vietnamese and African-American descent, averaged 22.8 PPG in the 2021 NCAA Tournament, leading UCLA on a Cinderella run from the First Four to the Final Four. His cultural significance transcends basketball and gives his cards unique collecting appeal.
2022 Panini Select Quay Walker RC #180
Select RC. Two Georgia 1st-round LBs in the same draft (Walker + Dean). Physical tools are rare — sideline-to-sideline speed in a 241-lb frame.
2022 Donruss Optic Tyler Allgeier RC #255
Optic RC. Budget entry on a proven NFL rusher. Allgeier's 1,000-yard rookie season was overshadowed by flashier picks but the production speaks for itself. BYU products have a track record of NFL longevity.
2022-23 Panini Select Johnny Davis RC #178
Select RC. Top-10 picks with college pedigree are the ultimate buy-low candidates. Davis was THE best player in college basketball at Wisconsin — that talent doesn't disappear. Charlotte's rebuilding timeline means patience, but if he clicks, these cards multiply fast.
2022 Topps Forrest Whitley RC #689
Official Topps RC — years later than anyone expected. Whitley finally debuted after being the consensus top pitching prospect in baseball. The long wait from 2018 Bowman 1st to 2022 RC tells the whole story: injuries, setbacks, and perseverance. San Antonio's Alamo Heights HS produced one of the most talented arms the minor leagues have ever seen.
2022 Topps Update Josh Winckowski RC #US278
Topps Update flagship RC. Winckowski is the quintessential JUCO-to-MLB success story — a 15th-round pick out of the College of Central Florida in 2018 who developed a 96mph sinker that generates ground balls at an elite rate. Boston acquired him in the Andrew Benintendi trade, and his sinker-heavy approach fits perfectly in Fenway Park where keeping the ball on the ground is critical. Late-round JUCO arms who make it carry an underdog premium collectors love.
2022 Topps Update Josh Smith RC #US290
Topps Update flagship RC. Smith was drafted by the Yankees in the 2nd round out of LSU in 2019 before being traded to Texas. His versatility — playing shortstop, third base, second base, and outfield — makes him the modern super-utility prototype that every contending team values. The 2023 World Series championship validates his contributions, and clutch postseason performers always carry a hobby premium that pure stats don't capture.

His shot-blocking ability (2.6 blocks per game) was elite for a 6-6 forward. The ACL injury dropped his card values significantly, creating a buying opportunity for collectors who believe in his long-term talent.
