Each character has a Chicago edition card and pin, in addition to the standard versions, all priced at $20 each.
It’s not clear how many cards are being produced for each, and it appears they remain in stock Wednesday afternoon an hour after the company announced it on social media.
The popular video game series made its triumphant return last year after capturing the hearts of countless gamers in the late 1990s and early 2000s. An immediate viral hit, the company behind the game, Playground Productions, recently partnered with Victus Sports to produce limited-edition Pablo Sanchez bats, which sold out in minutes and quickly resold for a premium on the secondary market.
These aren’t the first Backyard cards the franchise has produced.
The original Backyard Baseball game released in 1997 included a perforated sheet of nine cards from the game.
A PSA 4 copy of the Sanchez card, one of just 17 graded by PSA, sold for $425 in September 2024.
Three years later, the 2000 Pacific Backyard Baseball set was released along with the 2001 video game, featuring MLB players alongside characters from the game, including Sanchez, whose PSA 8 card from the set sold for $500 in June 2023.
