Ronald Acuña Jr. will receive the renowned Topps treatment.
The Atlanta Braves superstar has been considered the cover athlete for Topps Series 1 baseball trading cards for the 2024 season.
Acuña appears on each box of cards, as well as on the packaging used for the decks.
A typical box comes with seven packs of 12 cards, but fans can purchase hobby boxes: 20 packs of dozens of cards, and each pack includes at least one card with a player's autograph or memorabilia.

Acuña surpassed the “MVP candidate” category in 2023, going out and winning the award thanks to a season that rewrote the history books; in fact, he added a chapter to them.
The outfielder started an exclusive club while leading the major leagues with 217 hits as part of a 104-win team that won the NL East for the sixth consecutive year.
Entering last year, no player had hit 40 home runs and stolen 50 bases in a season (four had previously posted a 40-40 season). However, Acuña took it to another level, hitting 41 home runs and stealing not 50, not 60, but 73 bases, taking advantage of the biggest bags this year.

Acuña also led the majors with 149 runs scored, 383 total bases and a .416 on-base percentage, while his 1.012 OPS led the National League (third in MLB). He also hit .337, the second-best mark in the majors.
The 26-year-old outfielder was named All-Star for the fourth consecutive time (outside of 2020, in which there was no midsummer classic) and won his third Silver Slugger. His 106 RBIs were the most of his career.
Acuña's previous best finish in the voting had been his fifth-place finish in 2019, just his second season in the majors. He certainly would have been in the running in 2021 had he not torn his ACL in his 82nd game of the season.

Acuña was limited to 119 games in 2022 while still recovering from that injury, and hit just .266/.351/.413, all career lows. But everyone knows that a completely healthy Acuña can cause damage.
Topps turns 35 this year, with this season's designs, made by Robert Grape, inspired by the company's first Series 1 release in 1989.
