Welcome to the weekly Beckett Sports Card Hot/Cold list, where we take a quick and fun look at what’s hot and what’s not in the worlds of sports and sports cards over the last week.

The Hot List

Bobby Witt Jr.

Consecutive Weeks on Hot List: 🔥🔥🔥

Witt entered the All-Star Game as one of the hottest hitters in baseball, and he made his mark on the American League’s 4-0 win over the NL. Witt walked and scored as part of the AL’s first shutout in the Midsummer Classic since 2013. Witt continues to lead the AL with a Baseball-Reference Wins Above Replacement value of 4.9 and 30 stolen bases (30) as the second half gets underway.

Jordan Walker

Walker came into the All-Star break with a career-high 22 home runs, and his potent power went on full display during the Home Run Derby during the All-Star festivities. Walker became the first Cardinals player ever to claim the Home Run Derby title since its inception in 1985, and he hopes to continue mashing baseballs throughout the second half as St. Louis looks to return to the postseason for the first time since 2022.

Connor Bedard

Bedard made headlines over the weekend after the 21-year-old signed a five-year contract extension with the Chicago Blackhawks for $75 million. Bedard has gotten better every season, so the rebuilding Blackhawks believe the best is still on the way from the player they hope becomes their leader for years to come.

Caleb Williams

ESPN recently unveiled results of a survey that included anonymous NFL executives, coaches, and scouts ranking quarterbacks for the 2026 season. Williams landed as high as sixth on some ballots, and his culminative total placed him within the league’s top 10 after a breakout season in 2025. He threw for nearly 4,000 yards and tossed 27 touchdowns a year ago while leading the Bears into the playoffs. Fans and collectors are excited to see what’s next.

Junior Caminero

Caminero has hit in each of his first four games out of the All-Star break, giving fans and collectors an indication that his strong first half will carry over for the final 10 weeks of the season. The hulking third baseman already has 29 home runs, and he’ll be chasing down his career-high total of 45 from a year ago while trying to keep the Rays atop the AL East Division.

Yaxel Lendeborg

As the 11th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, Lendeborg hoped to bring some youthful enthusiasm to the Golden State Warriors, and he took the first step toward doing so as the MVP of the Summer League championship game. Lendeborg scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as the Warriors knocked off Cameron Boozer and the Memphis Grizzlies, 94-90.

Caitlin Clark

Clark set the Indiana Fever franchise record with 45 points in a victory over the Seattle Storm last week, and she added 10 assists to become the first player in WNBA history to reach both of those marks in the same game. She knocked down six 3-pointers on the night, again etching her name into the record book as the fastest WNBA player to reach 200 career triples. Clark and her Fever teammates are currently tied atop the Eastern Conference standings, meaning every game throughout the second half will likely be one with significance.

Josh Allen

Can Allen and the Bills make the jump in the AFC? That’s the question fans and collectors have been asking for several years, and the outlook for 2026 suggests it could be the year Buffalo finally breaks through. With Allen at quarterback as one of the league’s most dynamic superstars and a new defensive coordinator to manage the other side of the ball, things seem to be shaping up nicely for the Bills as the new season approaches.

Cameron Boozer

Boozer, the third overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, tried his best to lead Memphis to a Summer League title, but he came up just short in a 94-90 loss to the Golden State Warriors. Boozer scored 10 of his 19 points in the third quarter to open up a game that was tied at halftime, but the Grizzlies couldn’t withstand a furious comeback from the Warriors. Boozer added eight rebounds, four assists, and two steals, and looks like he’ll be an immediate contributor in Memphis.
