Don’t you love a 1/1 card that’s actually…11 different cards overall? It’s understandable if that sounds confusing, but you’ll figure out why it’s set up this way in a minute.
According to Topps Dugout on Instagram, a Jacob Misiorowski card concept features his entire game-used jersey nameplate from the 2025 All-Star Game split across multiple trading cards in Topps Baseball Series 1 — one card for each letter. Talk about a unique chase!

This Jacob Misiorowski Card Might Be the Hobby’s Wildest Relic Yet

For those keeping score at home, Misiorowski’s last name has 11 letters — M-I-S-I-O-R-O-W-S-K-I — which means Topps created 11 separate 1/1 cards, each containing one letter from his game-worn jersey nameplate. Somebody out there could theoretically hunt down all 11 pieces and put the entire thing together like a puzzle.
You can get a glimpse of everything in the above Instagram post.
This concept flips traditional memorabilia cards on their head. Instead of a generic jersey swatch or just one piece, you’re getting a specific, identifiable part of Misiorowski’s uniform. Each letter represents a piece of the jersey worn during the righty’s noteworthy rookie campaign, spelling out the name of the fastest player ever to make an All-Star team.
Misiorowski’s Rookie Season: Record-Breaking, But Not Without Controversy
The Miz burst onto the scene in June 2025 by tossing five no-hit innings against the St. Louis Cardinals in his first start. One of his fastballs touched 102.2 mph, which is the hardest pitch thrown by a Brewers hurler in the Statcast era.
The 6-foot-7 righty made history when he was named to the National League All-Star roster after just five big-league appearances, and he did so one year after Paul Skenes had initially set the record in 2024 (11 games). Through those five starts, Misiorowski posted a 2.81 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 25.2 innings.
His inclusion in the midsummer classic sparked debate, with multiple players from the Philadelphia Phillies criticizing the decision since they felt Ranger Suarez or Cristopher Sanchez were more deserving over a rookie with barely one month of experience.
Misiorowski struggled after the All-Star break, going 1-2 with a 5.36 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in 40.1 innings (10 appearances). Despite those struggles, he still flashed his potential by striking out 54 hitters during that span. He did rebound in the postseason by twirling a 1.50 ERA with 16 strikeouts in 12 innings across three appearances (all as a reliever).
The Miz Is a Card Collector Himself — And He Pulls His Own Cards
Along with creating buzz in the hobby world, it’s worth noting that Misiorowski is an active participant. The All-Star rookie has been collecting since childhood. It started with Pokémon before diving into baseball cards.
In August 2025, Misiorowski pulled his own 2022 Bowman Draft Orange parallel numbered to 25 while ripping packs at Brew Town Trading Co. in Milwaukee. He signed the card and donated it to the store.
Given how his first few starts went and his inclusion in the All-Star Game, The Miz’s cards unsurprisingly exploded in value during his rookie year. Before his debut, only seven Misiorowski cards had sold for more than $1,000. From June through August, 33 cards crossed that threshold, with his 2022 Bowman Draft autographs increasing nearly 200%.
Looking Ahead to 2026: Life After Freddy Peralta
The Brewers are fresh off winning the National League Central for the third year in a row. They finished the regular season with 97 wins before getting swept out of the NLCS by the Los Angeles Dodgers. But even with that amount of success through the team’s first 162 games, the 2026 campaign will look quite different.
For the second straight winter, Milwaukee traded away an important piece of its club by sending starting pitcher Freddy Peralta to the New York Mets. Peralta was the Brewers’ ace, posting a 17-6 record with a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 204 strikeouts in 176.2 innings.
According to FanGraphs’ Roster Resource, the top of the Brewers’ rotation now includes Brandon Woodruff, followed by Misiorowski. The young hurler goes from tossing just 66 innings in his rookie season to being Milwaukee’s no. 2 starter. So, it’s an opportunity to prove the All-Star selection wasn’t a fluke as he enters his age-24 campaign. If he can harness his electric stuff with better command (4.2 BB/9 in 2025), he could be Milwaukee’s next homegrown ace.
The question is whether the kid with the 11-letter nameplate can turn his potential into consistent production. If his performance in the hobby is any indication, plenty of people are betting on him.
