Episode 48, S2: Pete Crowe-Armstrong 1/1 MLB Debut Patch Autograph Auction | Ham House Special

In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most significant modern baseball cards to hit the auction block: Pete Crow-Armstrong’s 1/1 MLB Debut Patch Autograph, with the auction set to end next week.

On September 11, 2023, Crow-Armstrong made his MLB debut against the Colorado Rockies wearing a special MLB Debut Patch on his jersey. Following the game, the patch was authenticated and removed as part of the MLB and Topps Debut Patch program before ultimately becoming the centerpiece of his one-of-one Debut Patch Autograph card.

We break down the card, the story behind the MLB Debut Patch program, and the attention surrounding the auction as collectors wait to see where the final price lands.
