Topps is once again giving its flagship Chrome brand the Sapphire treatment, and the 2025 edition is set to sparkle. This release takes the entire 300-card Topps Chrome Baseball checklist and gives it the signature blue sapphire look that has become one of the most recognizable finishes in the hobby.

Every box includes one on-card autograph and three Sapphire-only parallels, though the exact colors and patterns of those parallels are still under wraps.

Beyond the standard checklist, collectors will also find the 50 Image Variations carried over from Chrome. That means the chase doesn’t stop with the base design—there are plenty of short-printed gems waiting to be uncovered.

Autographs remain one of the big attractions. Rookie signatures come from a focused 38-card checklist featuring names like Dylan Crews, James Wood, Roki Sasaki, and Nick Kurtz. For those chasing stars, Sapphire Selections Autographs bring some serious firepower with Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, and Bobby Witt Jr. headlining a group of just 12 signers.

Sapphire Selections isn’t only an autograph line—it’s also the lone insert set in the product, spanning 20 cards and exclusive to Sapphire.

For those looking at the essentials:

Cards per pack: 4
Packs per box: 8
Boxes per case: 10
Total cards in the set: 300
Scheduled release: August 27, 2025

Inside a hobby box, collectors can expect one autograph and three parallels along with base cards and the occasional image variation.

The full checklist stretches across all 30 teams, with stars like Ohtani, Trout, Judge, Harper, Witt Jr., and Skenes alongside rookies and up-and-coming prospects. Image Variations highlight top names as well, offering an added challenge for completionists.
