The best Jacob Misiorowski card depends on your budget and your goal. The 2022 Bowman Draft Chrome Autograph #CDA-JMI is the blue-chip pick, the 2026 Topps All Aces #AA-5 is the hottest insert, and a 2026 rookie autograph is the most direct way to own a signed card of the Brewers right-hander without paying 1st Bowman prices. Below we compare the real options, with year, set, card number and recent market figures, so you can match a card to what you want to own.
TL;DR
- Most prestigious: 2022 Bowman Draft Chrome Autographs #CDA-JMI, his premium early autograph, and the 1st Bowman cards around it.
- Hottest insert: 2026 Topps All Aces #AA-5, with PSA 10 values above $9,200 in recent market data.
- Best entry point: 2026 Topps Chrome and Topps Series 1 rookies, including the Lightboard Logo variation.
- Best rookie autograph value: 2026 rookie autograph redemptions, such as the Topps Series 1, Topps Heritage and 1991 Topps issues we carry.
- Before you pay: compare several recent sales, and remember a PSA 10 grades the card, not the signature.

The cards at the top: 1st Bowman and early autographs
2022 Bowman Draft Chrome Autographs #CDA-JMI
If you ask serious collectors which card matters most, the answer is rarely a 2026 base rookie. One analysis argues the market’s center of gravity sits in earlier “ownership claim” cards: 1st Bowmans, Chrome, Sapphire and especially on-card autographs.
The 2022 Bowman Draft Chrome Draft Pick Autograph #CDA-JMI fits that description. CardLines calls it a premium early autograph, reporting a PSA population under 200 and just over 75 PSA 10s. Another price guide lists raw copies around $900 and PSA 10 copies at $3,611, with the Blue version at $1,863 raw and $7,000 in PSA 10.
This is the card for the collector or investor who wants the established benchmark and has the budget for it.
Numbered parallels and the high end
Serial numbering and grade separate the scarce from the merely rare. Heavy reports that a 2022 Bowman Draft Chrome Gold Refractor Autograph numbered 41/50 in PSA 10 sold for $15,000 through Fanatics Collect in September 2026, then for $11,100 including buyer’s premium at an October 23, 2026 auction. The same report notes a Superfractor Autograph 1/1 in PSA 10 sold for $52,800 including premium in July 2025.
Those two results show why one sale is not a price. The same physical card, tracked by PSA certification number, brought different amounts a few weeks apart.
2022 Bowman Draft Chrome #BDC-132 (non-auto)
If the autograph is out of reach, the base Chrome 1st Bowman is the cheaper way into the same year and set. PSA’s records show it in several grades: one PSA 10 Chrome Refractor entry lists a population of 155, and a PSA 8 entry shows 314 copies graded higher. Population matters because a card that grades well in large numbers has less scarcity at the top.
Price context is worth knowing too. One report found a top Misiorowski card, a PSA 10 2022 Bowman Draft, down 43% in under a year even while he pitched well. Prices on graded cards swing with the news cycle, which is the case for buying a card you would be happy to hold, not only one you hope to flip.
The hottest 2026 inserts and rookies
2026 Topps All Aces #AA-5
This is the insert people mention first. Midpoint data lists it at $1,957 raw and $9,281 in PSA 10, a wide gap that tells you grading adds a lot of value when you find a clean, well-centered copy. The same source also lists the 2026 Bowman Anime #BA-20 among his leading cards.
All Aces suits a collector who wants a visual, scarce, current-year card and is comfortable paying for the PSA 10 premium.
2026 Topps Chrome and Topps Series 1 rookies
His key 2026 rookie is the Topps Series 1 #10, according to one checklist guide. Topps describes Series 1 as a 350-card base set with top rookies and Future Stars, and notes that collectors await rookie cards and track the ones they want when it releases.
For Chrome, CGC’s profile of his cards says Topps or Topps Chrome rookies are standard additions, with base cards accessible and affordable and the Lightboard Logo variations more desirable. That makes the 2026 Topps Chrome #196 Lightboard Logo a sensible mid-tier pick.
Other 2026 rookie-designated sets include Bowman Baseball (#35), Topps Heritage and Allen & Ginter. There is no single rookie card, so you will see different guides name different ones. As a rule, 2026 cards carry the official RC designation, while collectors treat the 2022 1st Bowman cards as foundational.
Topps NOW cards
Topps’ print-to-order NOW cards have also featured him. The Card 244 page lists an open-edition base card, foil parallels numbered /50 and lower, and /10, /5 and /1 autograph redemption cards, and it is sold out. The Card 827 page lists the same structure plus an image-variation short print, also sold out. Once a NOW window closes, the only way to get one is the secondary market.
Rookie autographs: where most collectors land
Most buyers do not have $3,000 or more for a graded 1st Bowman auto. The 2026 checklists offer plenty of signed alternatives. Listed issues include Bowman Chrome Rookie Autographs #CRA-JMI, Topps Chrome Black Autograph #CBA-JMI, Topps Tier One Talent Autograph #T1TA-JM and autograph variants in Topps 1991 Chrome. Others include Topps Heritage Chrome Autographs #ROAC-JM and Topps Finest Rookie Patch Autographs #RPA-JM.
Here is what we carry. All three are redemption cards, which is the format a manufacturer uses when an autographed card is not ready at the time a pack is sold. Read each listing for how the card is described before you order.
- 2026 Topps Series 1 Baseball Autograph Rookie RC redemption card, listed with free shipping. This pairs the most-cited 2026 rookie set with a signature.
- 2026 Topps Heritage Autograph Rookie RC, 195 CC limited release, listed with free shipping. Heritage gives a retro look, and the listing describes a limited release.
- 2026 Topps 1991 Baseball Autograph Rookie RC redemption card. The 1991 design suits collectors who like throwback styling.
A signed 2026 rookie will not carry the 1st Bowman label, and we do not claim it does. What it offers is a signed rookie-designated card from a current set, at an entry point well below the premium 2022 autographs.
How to choose by budget and goal
Under a few hundred dollars. Look at base Chrome and Series 1 rookies, with the Lightboard Logo variation as the step up. Buy raw or in a low-cost grade and stay patient.
Mid-range, signed. A 2026 rookie autograph is the natural pick. You get a signature and a rookie designation, and you can spread your spending across more than one set.
Serious budget. The 2022 Bowman Draft Chrome autographs, then the Blue parallel and numbered refractors. Expect to compare PSA populations and several sales before you pay.
Gifts and new collectors. A Topps Series 1 or Heritage card is easy to explain, easy to display and tied to a set most collectors recognize.
We also keep a broader budget breakdown of Misiorowski rookie cards on our collector’s guide if you want more tiers.
Buying packs to find him
Sealed product is a lottery, so set expectations first. A retailer listing for the 2026 Topps Chrome Mega Box says collectors can look for his rookies and retail rookie autographs, and describes six packs of seven cards with exclusive X-Fractor parallels. That listing is from an out-of-market retailer, so check an official U.S. product page for contents. A fan thread suggests 2023 Bowman Platinum for a pull, but if you want a specific signed card, buying the single is the more predictable route.
How to check a Misiorowski card before you buy
- Confirm the exact card. Match year, set, card number and variation. #CDA-JMI is not #BDC-132, and the price difference is large.
- Look at serial numbers. A /50 or a 1/1 is a different market from an unnumbered parallel.
- Verify the slab. For graded cards, check the PSA certification number on PSA’s cert page. The cert for a card like the Gold Refractor Autograph can be traced to the same physical card across sales.
- Remember what the grade covers. A PSA 10 applies to the card; the autograph is authenticated but not numerically graded.
- Use several comps. SI’s guide to comps says to compare multiple recent sales, separate auctions from fixed-price results and avoid valuing from one transaction.
- Know the heat is event-driven. Topps’ team notes that his fastball has reached 103 MPH and that the seven biggest sales of his Bowman cards came between June 23 and July 3, 2025. Spikes follow performance, and past results are not a guarantee of future value.
Add a signed rookie to your collection
If a signed 2026 rookie is what you are after, start with our Misiorowski autograph redemptions. We focus on rare rookie autographs, patches and redemption cards, so you will find them next to other MLB, NBA and NFL rookies. Browse the full rookie autograph and relic redemption collection, or go straight to the Topps Series 1 autograph rookie card.
Our inventory is curated and updated often, and select items ship free. Each listing names the set and card type, so you know what you are getting before checkout.
Perspective: why we lean toward rookie autographs
Most guides tell collectors to chase the 1st Bowman and stop there. We understand why. Those cards are the benchmark, and the prices show it. But a benchmark is not the only reasonable way to collect a player.
We built Nextgencards around rookie autographs, patches and redemption cards because that is what serious collectors keep asking us for: a signed card of a player they follow, in a set they recognize, without needing a four-figure budget. For Misiorowski, a Topps Series 1 or Heritage rookie autograph does exactly that.
Our advice is to decide what you are collecting before you decide what you are paying. If you want the established blue chip, buy the 2022 auto and verify the cert. If you want a signed rookie to hold and enjoy, buy the card you would be happy to keep if the market went sideways, and read the listing so you know exactly which card you are getting.

FAQ
What is Jacob Misiorowski’s best rookie card?
There is no single answer. Collectors treat the 2022 Bowman Draft cards, such as the Chrome #BDC-132 and the Chrome Autograph #CDA-JMI, as his most desirable foundational cards. The 2026 Topps Series 1 #10 is commonly named as his key official rookie card.
How much is a Jacob Misiorowski rookie autograph worth?
It depends on the set and grade. One price guide lists the 2022 Bowman Draft Chrome Autograph #CDA-JMI at $900 raw and $3,611 in PSA 10. A 2026 rookie autograph sits in a different tier. Check several recent sales before you buy, because prices shift with his performances.
Is a PSA 10 autograph card fully graded?
Not entirely. The PSA 10 grade applies to the card’s condition, while the autograph is authenticated but not given a numerical grade. Check the certification number on PSA’s site to confirm the exact card.
Should I buy packs or singles to get a Misiorowski card?
If you want one specific card, singles are more predictable. Packs and boxes, such as Topps Chrome, can contain his rookies and retail autographs, but a pull is not guaranteed. Topps NOW cards are sold out on Topps’ site for the two listed cards, so those now come from the secondary market.
