Topps Now Buzzes with Beekeeper Matt Hilton Cards, Autographs
Sometimes baseball games can get delayed for strange reasons. It was one of those nights in Arizona on Tuesday, April 30 when a swarm started to settle in the Chase Field netting behind home plate.
Enter Matt Hilton, a specialist from Blue Sky Pest Control. He made the trip to the ballpark, took care of the swarm and now he’s got his own official MLB baseball card.
It’s available through 2024 Topps Now Baseball for $8.99 with a 24-hour sales window (or less through eBay dealers doing pre-sales). In addition to the usual parallels that are randomly inserted with orders, collectors have a chance at one of 41 cards signed by Milton:
- Full Color – /25
- Red – /10
- Orange – /5
- Gold – 1/1
According to the card’s listing on the Topps website, there’s also a variation of the base card showing the bees.
