This is according to total number of cards sold over the last 7 days in the Market Movers catalog as of 4/6/24.
Frankly, it’s not any surprise these cards are the hottest. With the 2024 baseball season now in full swing, last season’s favorites like Elly De La Cruz now has a recently-released rookie card, and even younger stars like Jackson Chourio are making unprecedented debuts – and delivering
Wyatt Langford of course has burst onto the scene, and is different from the above two examples in that he doesn’t yet have a Topps RC (like De La Cruz) and his 1st Bowman was just released in 2023 and thus still fresh in the mind of many collectors.
While there are a number of cards from 2024 Topps on the list, having everything so spread out amongst different players is an amazing feat. This is completely different than what the hottest football card list looks like with CJ Stroud and Brock Purdy dominating the list, and what the hottest basketball card list will probably look like once Victor Wembanyama simply gets more cards.
