Rookie Redemptions

Each Rookie Redemption was good for an Autographed Rookie card. On September 18, 2014, Topps announced the final checklist. Despite being labelled as a "rookie" autograph, Topps decided -- probably due to the lack of decent rookies -- to fulfill card #1 with Sandy Koufax -- who was a rookie in 1955. Each card is serial-numbered to 100 copies.

1 Sandy Koufax

2 Jacob deGrom

3 Kennys Vargas
