Topps Pro Debut Baseball Cards Hit Shelves with local player on the cover

WILMINGTON N.C (WWAY) — The 2024 “Topps Pro Debut” baseball card set launched, and features South Brunswick High school standout Walker Jenkins as the official cover athlete.

We visited Ignition Sports Cards on College Road in Wilmington, where the new release has already caused a buzz.

Customers have been flocking in, eager to get their hands on the Walker Jenkins card.

Dustin Gerry, an employee at Ignition Sports Cards, shared the excitement:

“We’ve got people coming in saying they go to church with his family, that they coached him, that they played with him. It’s all different walks of life coming in; he’s really bringing the community together.”

In late July, Jenkins transitioned to a different team within the Minnesota Twins’ farm system, moving from the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels to the Cedar Rapids Kernels.
