Jackson Holliday 

Twenty-year-old shortstop Jackson Holliday is one of the most hyped rookie prospects in Major League Baseball.

The Big Chase Card: SP# 697

Jackson Holliday SP #697 - 2024 Series 2 Topps SP Chase Card. Not only is there a shor print, but also a super short print with the and up-close photo of his bat nob saying "Fun Face". This line adds a historic component to Holliday's collectibles as this card pays tribute to the infamous 1989 Fleer Billy Ripken "F*ck Face" error card. The appeal of this short print is how uncommon it is, as well as the interesting take it shows to collectors.


SSP: Fun Face Bat Knob Parallel

At the ultimate top, chase down the super short print (SSP) known as the Fun Face Bat Knob Parallel. This particular version is a tribute to the aforementioned Billy Ripken error card, which adds an imposing status to this collection. This specific bat knob parallel, the Fun Face Bat Knob Parallel, has many different versions, all adding to the fun of the chase


Fun Face Super Short Print Variations

The Fun Face Bat Knob Parallel boasts several distinct variations, each itemizing a level of complexity to the chase and leaving collectors piqued by the options on hand. The Variations include a whipped-out “Fun Face” knob in black parallel, and white parallel, an all knob whited out with a circle, and the “Fun Face” horizontal being blacked out fully with a block. These variations add to the mystery surrounding the Jackson Holliday short print, making it a multi-faceted pursuit for collectors.

The Fun Face Bat Knob Parallel comes in several distinct variations, each adding a layer of complexity to the chase and leaving collectors intrigued by the possibilities. These variations include:

  • Scribbled Out "Fun Face" Knob in Black Parallel
  • Scribbled Out "Fun Face" Knob in White Parallel

  • "Fun Face" Completely Blacked Out with a Block

Uncertainty of Print Runs and Rarity Another interesting element of the Jackson Holliday short print chase centers on the uncertainty tied to the print runs and rarity of the variations identified thus far.
