Topps is back at it again with the 2025 Series 2 Baseball cards, hitting all the right notes for collectors who crave both tradition and something fresh. This year’s lineup is a lively mashup featuring World Champs, baseball royalty, the charm of Rickwood Field, and a whole lot more.
As usual, Topps Series 2 packs in a robust 350-card base set (cards #351-700), highlighting established veterans alongside promising rookies. Fans will appreciate the familiar "Future Stars" subset and the always-popular team cards.
If you’re into parallels, Series 2 is an absolute candy store. Each card receives numerous colorful and foil-accented variations, including some quirky summertime exclusives. Notably, Topps brings back the "First Card" stamp for the earliest off-the-line cards, adding an extra touch of collectible prestige.
Golden Mirror variations return for their third consecutive year—these short-printed gems are subtly deceptive, appearing normal from the front but revealing a golden back and alternate image.
Topps keeps things interesting with a new lineup of inserts: Summer Superstars, OPS Bests, Duos, and the mighty All Kings spotlight some legendary and current top hitters. Pitchers are celebrated with K-Zone die-cut inserts, featuring a rare reverse K variant for batters who freeze at the plate.
Heavy Lumber, Homefield Advantage, and Legendary Homefield Advantage inserts are also back in short-printed glory, adding some satisfying chase elements for seasoned collectors.
Continuing the 35th-anniversary celebration of 1990 Topps, Series 2 includes nostalgic inserts, autographs, and relics using that iconic retro design. Particularly amusing is the limited-edition /35 "No Name" parallel—a cheeky nod to the infamous production mishap on Frank Thomas’ 1990 rookie card.
Flagship Real One autographs and relics also make a comeback, along with City Connect Swatches featuring both relics and autographed relics.
Los Angeles Dodgers fans have extra reasons to celebrate, as Series 2 highlights their 2024 World Series victory through single- and dual-signed autograph cards. Plus, Topps honors the historic MLB game played at Alabama’s Rickwood Field, featuring exclusive cards for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Collectors can look forward to silver packs returning in hobby and jumbo boxes. Hobby boxes include one silver pack, while jumbo boxes offer two. Inside these sought-after packs, you’ll discover mojo-patterned Chrome cards styled after the beloved 1990 Topps design.
