For collectors looking to dive into this year’s collection, Topps offers various configurations to suit every preference. Whether you opt for the compact Hobby Box or the content-rich Jumbo Box, there’s something for everyone. The Hobby Box includes 12 cards per pack and 20 packs per box, ensuring a minimum of one autograph or memorabilia card alongside a bonus Silver Pack. On the other hand, the Jumbo Box contains 40 cards per pack and 10 packs per box, offering two Silver Packs and a higher chance of obtaining premium hits.

Tributes and autographs take center stage in the 2025 collection, with nods to the 35th anniversary of the 1990 Topps Baseball set. Autographed versions featuring parallels like Gold, Orange, Black, Red, and Platinum offer collectors a chance to own a piece of baseball history. From Baseball Stars Autographs to Dual Autographs, the set is teeming with cards that bridge past, present, and future stars.
The introduction of Flagship Real One Autographs and autographed memorabilia cards further enriches the collection, providing collectors with a depth of desirable cards. The inclusion of City Connect Swatch Collection Auto Relics, Rickwood Auto Relic Collection, and Heavy Lumber Autograph Relics ensures there’s something for every collector’s taste.
To top it all off, collectors who purchase Hobby or Jumbo boxes will receive Silver Packs as a bonus. These packs feature Chrome cards with the iconic 1990 Topps design, adding an extra layer of nostalgia and excitement to the collection.
