The 2025 Topps Series 1 Baseball set has arrived, bringing collectors the first wave of cards for the new season. This 350-card checklist features 17 Dodgers players, including Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Clayton Kershaw, as well as rookies and rising stars.

Ohtani’s presence in the set is particularly notable—his standard base card was awarded Card No. 1 in the collection, reinforcing his status as one of baseball’s most dominant figures. In addition, he appears on three league leader cards, making him a central focus of the Dodgers’ representation in the set.

Design & Card Features

The 2025 Topps Series 1 design maintains a classic white border, with each team’s logo placed in the bottom left corner. The team name also runs along the left side of the card, but its white-bordered lettering can be difficult to read against the multi-colored background.

Another design concern comes from the silver bordering around player names—depending on the angle, it can make the last name harder to read.

On the flip side, the card backs are clean and easy to read, with standout design elements such as red ink highlighting league leaders. Veteran stars like Freddie Freeman and Clayton Kershaw showcase this feature.
