Rookie relic cards from the Select Cracked Ice parallel series tend to hold more collector interest than base rookies, and the jumbo swatch gives you a larger piece of game-used jersey material than a standard patch card. Bubic debuted with the Royals in 2020, so this is an early-career card for a pitcher who still has upside if you're building a player collection on the cheaper end of the MLB rookie relic market.

Autograph cards from the 1996 Leaf Signature Extended series were signed directly on the card during production, so there's no sticker autograph to worry about — a detail that matters to collectors focused on authenticity and presentation. Steve Parris was a journeyman MLB pitcher, which keeps demand (and price) low, making this a budget entry point for player collectors or anyone building out a Leaf Signature set. Buy Now at Fanatics

Rookie autograph cards from the Playoff Contenders set tend to hold steady in collector circles because the product has a long track record and the ticket stub design is widely recognized. Van Jefferson had a solid run with the Rams, including a Super Bowl LVI win, so this card works well for Rams team collectors or anyone building a set of 2020 class rookie autos. Buy Now at Fanatics

Collectors focused on rookie-era NFL autographs will find this one worth a look, as Select Prime Selections is one of Panini's more premium autograph sets and Terrace Marshall Jr.'s 2021 cards represent his first certified signatures in the hobby. Buy Now at Fanatics

Collector appeal here is fairly narrow: this is a signed insert from Panini's Mosaic line featuring Josh Rosen, a former first-round pick whose NFL career didn't pan out, which tends to keep prices low and makes it more accessible for player collectors or Mosaic set builders than a marquee name would be.
