Fanatics Collectibles and Topps have announced that Baltimore Orioles rookie Jackson Holliday is the cover star of the 2024 Topps Chrome Update.
The set includes MLB Debut Patches for NL Rookie of the Year front-runners pitcher Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates and center fielder Jackson Merrill of the San Diego Padres. Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio , Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford , Chicago Cubs pitcher Shota Imanaga and others are featured as well.
“When Topps told me, ‘It’s the set with the debut patches,’ I thought that was pretty cool,” Holliday told ESPN. “I remember my first game earlier this year, wearing that patch, and it looked amazing in the card when I signed it a few weeks ago. I think Adley [Rutschman] was on the cover of a set last year [2023 Topps Chrome Baseball] and it’s great to see our team continue to be represented on the box.”
The MLB Debut Patches were announced in early 2023 , a collaboration with Major League Baseball to take uniform patches from players’ MLB debuts and insert them into serial numbered 1-of-1 autographed rookie cards.
