A 108-year-old Mariners fan got her own baseball card from Topps

This year's set of baseball cards from Topps contains All-Star, millionaires, celebrities — and one Seattle Mariners fan who is 108 years old. Safe to say she's the most unlikely star in the bunch and also one of the coolest people in the set.

She's Evelyn Jones, a Mariners fan for as long as they have lived — she was 69 when the team debuted in 1977. On her 108th birthday last July, Jones threw out the first pitch and thus became the oldest person in history to throw out a first pitch an MLB game.

For that, she's commemorated in Series 1 of Topps' 2016 set (which hit stores today).

Jones' card is part of Topps' first-pitch set, which it started in 2015. It's mostly celebrities and pro athletes featured on the first-pitch cards, but Topps smartly adds notable fans to the mix too.

Even Bud Selig got one. You can see the entire checklist and digital samples right here. Below you'll find some of our favorites:

All cool baseball cards to have, no doubt, but the coolest one still belongs to Evelyn Jones. Because how many 108-year-olds get their own baseball cards? That alone makes it worth chasing.
