Topps' 2024 Allen & Ginter baseball card set this year features a lineup of musicians spanning multiple genres alongside its baseball stars. The set is typically known for its throwback design inspired by traditional tobacco cards, and the checklist includes autographs and memorabilia cards from baseball and non-baseball stars alike.
On the music side, rock is represented by Thrice, The Bouncing Souls, and Andrew Tkaczyk, drummer of metalcore band The Ghost Inside. Both Thrice and The Bouncing Souls have their full lineups featured, while Tkaczyk represents The Ghost Inside solo. For hip-hop fans, the set includes some of the genre's biggest names including Travis Scott, Quavo from Migos, and Metro Boomin. The reggaeton genre is represented by veteran Daddy Yankee and rising star Myke Towers, while country music fans can find Jason Aldean cards. The set also features Australian musician The Kid Laroi.
All musicians appear in the Mini Non-Baseball Autographs series, while select artists like The Kid Laroi, Myke Towers, and members of Thrice also appear in the Memorabilia/Relics series. Some of the most sought-after cards are the special Quad Autographs, featuring all four members of both Thrice and The Bouncing Souls signing the same card.
The odds of pulling the special cards make them pretty rare. Mini autographed cards appear at rates of 1:226 hobby packs, 1:1,464 value packs, and 1:911 fat packs. The Quad Autograph cards are even more elusive, with odds of 1:67,537 hobby packs and 1:313,632 fat packs. There are also special variations featuring red ink signatures and different colored borders.

Some of the cards, including autographs from Travis Scott and Metro Boomin, come in packs as online redemption cards, requiring you to redeem them online and wait for Topps to send your cards in the mail. For collectors unable to chase these cards through pack openings, individual cards can be found on the secondary market through sites like eBay.
