2014 Topps Archives Baseball just got a little bit wilder. Charlie Sheen has been confirmed as a Major League Autographs signer.
Sheen played Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn in the classic baseball comedy. The movie turns 25 this year and Topps is including both signed and unsigned cards from the film in the retro-themed product.
Based on the 1989 Topps Baseball design, the card includes a shot from the film as well as the iconic mohawk-wearing baseball logo.
This doesn't appear to be all for Sheen and Major League as far as 2014 Topps products go. They also plan to have swatches from a Sheen-worn Indians jersey (complete with Vaughn nameplate) in 2014 Topps Triple Threads, 2014 Topps Five Star and 2014 Topps Dynasty.
Check out this @charliesheen worn jersey! Find #rickyvaughn cards with patch pieces later this year… https://t.co/kXSeVG5uDx

Sheen, a noted baseball fan and memorabilia collector, has had autographs in a handful of products prior to this. 2011 Leaf Legends of Sport includes an autograph of the actor with artwork based on Major League, but it's not licensed by Paramount, the company that made the movie.
2014 Topps Archives Baseball is slated for release in May.
Updated (April 8) to add details on Charlie Sheen jersey.
