Social Media Follow Backs Redemptions, hobby-only sketch cards and Platinum Performers are among the other rarities on the 2024 Topps Series 2 Baseball checklist.
Around the Horn, City to City, Covering the Field and Fantasy Favorites all make their debut. Celebrities return to Topps Baseball with First Pitch/Play Ball. Similar inserts appeared in 2016 and 2017 flagship sets. Each of these has Blue, Black (/299), Gold (/50), Red (/10) and Platinum (1/1) versions as well.
