Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge have officially won MVP honors.

The baseball world has been buzzing with anticipation, but for card collectors, the focus has been on preparing for Topps' popular MVP Buyback Program. While there were six finalists for the AL and NL MVP awards—Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, Bobby Witt Jr., Shohei Ohtani, Francisco Lindor, and Ketel Marte—the consensus for months pointed to Judge and Ohtani taking home the honors.

Collectors who have been holding onto Judge and Ohtani cards from the 2024 Topps Chrome release can now cash in on their foresight. With the MVP announcements official, Topps is offering enticing trade-in values for these cards at participating hobby shops and major retailers.


How the Program Works

Topps’ MVP Buyback Program allows collectors to exchange 2024 Topps Chrome cards of the MVP winners for store credit. Here’s how it breaks down:

  • Base Cards: $20 credit
  • Refractors: $40 credit
  • Rare Parallels: Higher amounts, up to $1,000 for specific inserts, such as the 2023 Ohtani buyback card numbered to 50.

Collectors can redeem these cards starting now, with the program running through January 30, 2025.


What Cards Are Eligible?

Eligible cards include those from the regular 2024 Topps Chrome release and Chrome Logofractor cards. However, cards from other Topps Chrome products—like Cosmic Chrome and Chrome Sapphire—are not part of the program.

To redeem your cards:

  2. Bring your eligible cards for inspection.
  3. Receive your credit to use on other collectibles, cards, or products in-store.
