Living in west central Florida, Tim Trently has a distinct advantage when it comes to prospecting MLB players.
Trently frequently attends spring training and minor league games near his Bradenton residence to check out all the young talent on the diamond. When it comes to card collecting, Trently sees firsthand who could become a future MLB star. His analytic-based research then helps him determine which prospects to start collecting.
Dan Kuligowski is also big into digging into the background and crunching numbers on the best up-and-coming players; he also uses his research when it comes to collecting cards.
“I’ll do research on guys; from there, I’ll usually pick five to 10 guys to kind of chase in breaks,” Kuligowski said. “After that, I’ll usually buy some singles as well.”

When the Topps designers were tasked with the original creation of the RDPA card, they knew it was important to make a big splash.

“When designing the patch, we wanted to convey something bold and eye-catching that hinted at the player’s ascent to the big leagues,” said Topps Senior Director, Creative, Jeff Zachowski. “In tandem, we had to think about how these patches would make their way from each rookie player’s sleeve and into the hands of collectors in the form of an autographed trading card. We knew we wanted a clean, modern design that felt fully integrated with the patch. The Rookie Debut Patch is the key innovation here, so the design team’s job was to showcase it.”
