Topline:
Former Dodgers pitcher and current broadcaster Orel Hershiser is on the hunt for a rare baseball card of himself, and he's willing to put a lot on the line to add it to his collection.
Why it matters: This is no ordinary baseball card. This is an autographed 2025 Topps Chrome Superfractor card. And only one exists. So Hershiser has put out what hardcore card collectors call a "bounty" in the hopes that he can entice whoever finds it to trade it to him for a prize package.
The backstory: Hershiser is an avid card collector and even owns his own trading card shop in Claremont called Legends Attic.

What's next? If you're the lucky collector who happens to pull this one-of-a-kind card, Hershiser said in a social media video that among the potential prizes awaiting you could be a flight to California to visit Legends attic, a stay at the "luxurious" DoubleTree next door to the shop (and, one assumes, some chocolate chip cookies at check in), tickets to a Dodgers game and more. You can watch the video to see what other perks he's willing to throw in.
