Prospect to Pack Ripper: Jesus Made Connects with the Hobby on eBay Live

After making a statement in the 2025 MLB All-Star Futures Game, Jesus Made didn’t head for the locker room—he headed for the hobby. Hours after his standout performance at Truist Park, the 18-year-old Brewers phenom joined Valor Sportscards live on eBay Live to rip packs of 2025 Bowman Baseball alongside more than 2,000 collectors watching in real time.

Hosted at Cards HQ in Atlanta, the event blurred the line between prospect hype and hobby heat—and introduced Jesus Made to a national collecting audience in a way no debut has done before.

Futures Game Recap: Made Makes His Mark

Representing the National League Futures team, Made went 1-for-2 with a key single and a run scored. His hit helped spark a late-inning rally, and he crossed the plate on a Josue De Paula three-run homer that sealed the NL’s win.

Though he struck out once—against ambidextrous phenom Jurrangelo Cijntje—Made’s approach at the plate impressed scouts and legends alike. His maturity drew nods from the likes of Chipper and Andruw Jones, who were spotted watching him during BP. At just 18, he looked like he belonged.

Breaking Bowman and Chasing Prospects

Later that evening, Made joined Valor Sportscards on eBay Live—where he spent nearly 30 minutes personally ripping packs of 2025 Bowman. It was an educational experience for Made, as Valor Sportscards explained the process of breaking and highlighted what collectors chase in Bowman products: chrome vs. paper cards, parallels, autographs, and low-numbered inserts.

The chat was active and energized, with fans dropping questions, fire emojis, and reactions in real time. Some were there just to see if they could pull a Made card while the man himself was on screen.
