The 2015 Topps Tribute Baseball Mystery Autograph Redemption is Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor.
Topps says those holding the redemption cards for the Mystery Autograph of last year’s product will get a Lindor Tribute rookie autograph.
Lindor finished second in the American League Rookie of the Year voting last season with a .313 batting average, 12 home runs, 51 RBI and 12 stolen bases in 99 games.
Lindor was hitting .309 with two homers, 16 RBI and six stolen bases through 35 games.

The modern baseball card hobby got some TV news attention from a Sacramento TV station this week. They talked with a local shop owner about the stock market-like feel for the current market.

Max Scherzer will sign your autograph but you’ll have to make a donation to charity.
Scherzer and his wife Erica are raising money for Polaris, an organization aimed at stopping human trafficking and for a donation of $25-$50, he’ll sign items–personalized to you or someone you choose (no generics, apparently).
Items that can be autographed include photos, ticket stubs from a Washington Nationals game, baseballs, and Scherzer baseball cards. The deadline to submit a request is September 1, 2016. At the end of the season, the couple will match the donations to Polaris up to $25,000.
The information page is here.
