WWE Superstar, reality TV star, and now honorary MLB cardholder? The Miz just added another surprising achievement to his résumé — landing a spot in the 2025 Topps Series Two Baseball set.

While he's no stranger to trading cards — having appeared in countless WWE Topps releases over the years — this marks the first time Mike "The Miz" Mizanin is featured in an official MLB product. His inclusion comes courtesy of his guest appearance throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at Progressive Field in Cleveland, Ohio, earlier this year.

Topps has made it a tradition to honor celebrity first pitches with specially produced cards in their flagship sets. Previous honorees include cultural icons like Travis Scott and NBA phenom Victor Wembanyama. Now, The Miz enters the mix with a Short Print (SP) variation, making his card a bit harder to pull than standard base cards — and even more desirable for collectors.

Born and raised in Parma, a suburb of Cleveland, The Miz has always been a proud Ohioan and lifelong Cleveland sports fan. His first pitch at a Guardians game wasn’t just a PR moment — it was a full-circle hometown honor. While some first pitches go viral for all the wrong reasons, The Miz delivered a solid toss and made sure the moment felt as "must-see" as everything else in his career.

This marks yet another example of Topps embracing crossover appeal between sports and pop culture. Miz's new card blends both worlds, offering wrestling fans and baseball collectors alike something unique to chase.

Of course, The Miz himself couldn’t be more excited — already taking to social media to ask where he can get his own card. “Wait… is this real? I NEED this!” he wrote, clearly as thrilled as the fans.

The 2025 Topps Series Two Baseball set is now available at hobby shops and online retailers. With the product flying off shelves, snagging The Miz's short print might be a challenge — but for fans of WWE or Cleveland sports, it’s a grail worth hunting.
