Yes, most of the time when you think about a baseball card, you are picturing your favorite player in some sort of pose you might recognize while watching them play on television. Back in the day, collecting baseball cards was one of the most important hobbies for a young boy to get into. You were able to open up packs of baseball cards and you might even get one or two that are worth something depending how is on the card.
Put that hobby aside and check out the most recent news coming from the Topps baseball card brand. According to online sources, Austin Mahone and a few others are going to be getting their own baseball cards to celebrate them throwing the first pitch at baseball games they attended. You might not know who Austin Mahone is, but if there is a good chance that your daughter does. He is 18 years old, from Texas and has been compared to Justin Bieber.
Austin Mahone started his career like many do these days, on YouTube. At one point he did a cover song that was popular by Justin Bieber and his online following started to gain steam. Shortly after that, Austin Mahone released his own single on iTunes and that happened back in 2012. A second single came along, but that one was not released on iTunes, since he had just signed with his record label at that time.
The kid is getting to be all over the place as a spokesperson for McDonald’s and even “Hot Nuts”, which is a Mexican snack. Since 2012 he has been on tour with Taylor Swift, added to Lil Wayne’s clothing line, worked with Aquafina FlavorSplash was a part of the MTV’s Artist to Watch Tour. The young singer is getting around in the entertainment world and now he will be on a baseball card. The cards, which will be made by Topps, are going to show Austin Mahone throwing the first pitch.
Austin Mahone will be on a baseball card along with other stars like Jack White, 50 Cent, Macklemore, Eddie Vedder, Biz Markie and Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine. The cards are going to be hard to find according to sources, so if you are a fan of Austin Mahone or any of the others, you might have to buy more than one pack for a chance at their baseball card. They are going to be rare to some degree, since the odds that person is throwing out the first pitch, for a second time, is just as rare.
