As if meeting top celebrities, being surrounded by collectibles and memorabilia, and being at the epicenter of the hobby weren’t good enough, Fanatics Fest in New York City has announced a trading card exclusive just for the event. Topps Chrome baseball and popular musician Travis Scott have collaborated to produce the Cactus Jack baseball cards.
The event in NYC will be happening June 20-22 at the Javits Center, and Travis Scott himself will be in the building on both Friday and Saturday. The collaborative cards will only be available for those in person on Friday. The number of athletes and celebrities attending Fanatics Fest this year is staggering, as the top names include: LeBron James, Tom Brady, Kevin Durant, Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning, Victor Wembanyama, Jayden Daniels, Kevin Hart, IShowSpeed, and many more.
Travis Scott also partnered with Topps Chrome last year to produce this product in Topps Cosmic baseball. However, the supply and demand should be greater this year, with it being a Fanatics Fest exclusive, and Scott having previously collaborated on a WWE version for WrestleMania a few months ago.
Fanatics Fest has released details on their website stating there will be a total of 50 top athletes in the set - 49 baseball players and Scott. Some top hits will be Shohei Ohtani, Paul Skenes, Roki Sasaki, and James Wood. There will be two packs per box that contain four cards each (one numbered parallel or autograph in each pack) and will be sold for $500/box. The parallels featured will include: Gold Refractors (/50), Orange Refractors (/25), Black Refractors (/10), Red Refractors (/5), and Superfractors (/1).
Cactus Jack baseball has the potential to be one of the hottest products this summer as Fanatics Fest will be scorching with collectibles, memorabilia, and more.
