Panini is keeping things straightforward with the return of Three and Two Baseball in 2025. The product lives up to its name, delivering three cards that are either base, parallels, or inserts, along with two hits in every box. While the configuration sounds simple, the premium touches and variety of parallels and autograph concepts make this one of Panini’s more intriguing baseball releases.
Each box contains just five cards, but all of them are designed to have impact. Collectors get one autograph, one memorabilia card, and three other cards that fall into the base, parallel, or insert categories. Autographs and relics are all encased by Panini at the factory, giving every hit a high-end presentation right out of the pack.
The product is once again built around prospects, legends, and retired stars due to Panini’s licensing situation, though some current veterans will make appearances. For many collectors, this blend of young talent and iconic names has become part of the set’s identity.
Jersey Autographs remain one of the anchors of the release, often pairing signatures with multi-color patches from top prospects and rising stars. With the growing interest in patch autos across the hobby, these cards figure to be some of the most sought-after.
Spotlight Spikes Signatures, a concept that highlights pieces of game-worn footwear, are also back for another run, bringing something a little different to the checklist.
A new addition for 2025 is Trifecta Signatures, which bring three autographs onto one card. These should prove especially popular among collectors who enjoy multi-player pieces, as they highlight connections between stars of the past, present, and future.
While the checklist details are still under wraps, parallels will return with familiar options such as Bases Loaded and Emerald. Inserts are expected to add some variety beyond the core checklist, though Panini has not yet revealed which designs will make the cut.
5 cards per box
1 autograph (encased)
1 memorabilia card (encased)
3 additional cards (base, parallels, or inserts)
Cases hold 10 boxes, giving collectors a chance at multiple big hits in every sealed case.
2025 Panini Three and Two Baseball is scheduled for September 17, 2025, though release dates are always subject to change.
Three and Two is not about sheer volume. It is a product built for collectors who want a condensed, hit-focused break with cards that feel premium right out of the box. The encased presentation adds an extra layer of appeal, while the mix of prospects, Hall of Famers, and veteran talent gives the checklist both short-term and long-term collecting value.
With new additions like Trifecta Signatures joining fan favorites such as Jersey Autographs and Spotlight Spikes Signatures, the 2025 edition looks to balance tradition with fresh concepts. For collectors chasing flashy hits in a quick and simple format, this could be one of the standout products of the fall baseball release calendar.
