Frequently asked

What's the main draw of 2019 High Tek?

What are the key rookie cards?
Cedric Mullins, Michael Kopech, Christin Stewart, Ryan O'Hearn, Yusei Kikuchi, Justus Sheffield, Touki Toussaint, Kolby Allard, and Luis Urias all have rookie cards in the base set. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Eloy Jimenez, and Rowdy Tellez are featured in the Future Tek insert set.
