Topps is honoring retired New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter with the No. 1 card in its 2015 collection.
The card and entire series will be available Wednesday.
The image on Jeter’s card features his legendary jump after rounding first base with a walk-off hit in his last game at Yankee Stadium.
Jeter also will be featured on a set of retro-style cards that honor Sy Berger, acknowledged as the architect of the modern baseball card. Berger died in December at the age of 91.
“Sy Berger was a legend not only at Topps, but he was a legend throughout the game of baseball,” Topps vice-president of product development Clay Luraschi told New York’s CBS affiliate. “We want to do anything that we can to carry on his legacy.”
While Topps honors Berger for his contributions off the field, the trading card company is honoring Jeter for what he did on the field.
