How Much Are 2024 MLB Debut Patches Selling For? A Look at eBay
They may not be the most valuable cards in the set, but even the Debut Patch cards of lesser-known players hold their own weight. While the biggest Debut Patch cards are pulled as redemption cards, many of the other Debut Patch cards were pulled "as is," making them readily available to hit the secondary market.
It may take a while to see the sales results of players like Jackson Holliday, Jackson Chourio, Elly De La Cruz, and Paul Skenes (whenever it's pulled). Still, the secondary market is already active with this year's Patch Card sales.
The most recent Debut Patch sale on eBay is of TJ Hopkins, an outfielder who debuted in late 2023. The card sold for $1,125, which is not bad considering Hopkins didn't play in the big leagues in 2024 and batted .171 with one RBI in a short stint with the Cincinnati Reds.
Some better-known prospects are selling for more. The Debut card of AJ Smith-Shawver, the second-ranked Atlanta Braves prospect by MLB.com, sold for $4,600 on Dec. 8. A look at other recent sales reveals how the market values the Debut Patch cards.
