With the Atlanta Braves’ 2025 season underway, consider what cards you should add to your inventory/collection. Whether it’s for your own personal enjoyment or if you’re looking to make a little extra dough, these Braves cards should have the most potential to increase in value with the season underway.

Any Ronald Acuna Jr. Card

With the Braves superstar Ronald Acuna Jr. out of action due to his 2nd ACL tear, his market has slipped a little, but with his impending return to the diamond, this could be the perfect time to scoop up some of his cards. We know Acuna, when healthy, is one of the very best in baseball, and a return to MVP form should coincide with a resurgence in his card demand.

His return is imminent. Get your cards before it is too late!

Spencer Schwellenbach 2021 Bowman Chrome Draft Pick Autograph

Schwellenbach entered the 2025 season hoping to build off an impressive rookie campaign in ’24. There’s no reason to think he shouldn’t improve even more in his 2nd year. If you’re thinking of going after any of his cards, look at his 2021 Bowman Draft Chrome Auto. Being a Bowman 1st, it is his first officially licensed card while sporting a clean blue ink auto. The refractor out of 499 most recently did a sale ungraded for $150, up from previous sales of the card. Another big season from Schwellenbach, and this may be the cheapest you’ll find these cards.

Hurston Waldrep 2023 Bowman Chrome Prospect Autograph

The Braves’ number three-ranked pitching prospect struggled in his two starts during the 2024 season, so they are being patient with him starting at Triple-A this year. Still, if he can work on some of his command issues, he’s got an outstanding pitch repertoire to be a high-level front-of-the-rotation starter at the major league level.

Featuring a nasty splitter and fastball approaching 100 MPH, he’s got all the makings of being a strikeout merchant, which bodes well if we’re looking at the market value on some of his cards. With guys like Schwellenbach and Waldrep, their Bowman 1st cards will be where the value lies.

One of Waldrep’s higher-priced cards is the 2023 Bowman Draft Sapphire Edition Chrome-Orange out of 25. Not only would the card be a good investment piece, but if you’re looking to add to your PC, this is just a cool-looking card featuring a Lava Refractor cracked ice background on a slight color match.
