The Emotional Story Behind MLB's Special First Game Cards.

Cam Booser, a baseball player, had a tough journey to the big leagues. He got hurt a few times and even worked as a carpenter before finally making it to the major leagues.

To celebrate, Cam wanted a special baseball card made by a company called Topps. This card has a piece of the jersey he wore in his very first game.

These cards have become very popular, not just with fans but also with the players themselves. Many players want to have the card that celebrates their first game.

The company makes these cards by first collecting patches from all the teams. When a player makes their debut, the patch is added to their jersey, taken off after the game, and then used to make the card.

The cards are very valuable, with some being sold for a lot of money. Some players even trade things with fans to get their cards back.
