2025 Topps Update Baseball is packed with rookies, stars, legends, and some of the most exciting parallels we’ve seen. Released on the 12th of this month, Update continues its tradition of celebrating the biggest performances and breakout players of the year, while giving collectors a stellar checklist full of color, inserts, memorabilia, and one-of-a-kind hits. Let's take a look at this set and the cards you'll want to keep an eye out for: 

Base Set & Core Checklist

The 350-card base set builds on everything collectors love about flagship Topps: a blend of rising rookies, superstar veterans, Future Stars, league leaders, and memorable season highlights. Update is known for showcasing late-season call-ups and players in newly updated uniforms, giving set builders and rookie chasers plenty to hunt. This year’s design shines especially well across the huge rainbow of parallels included in the product.

Parallels

Topps went all out with the parallel lineup for Update 2025, bringing back hobby favorites while introducing new exclusives. Standout chase pieces include:

The First Card Stamp #1/1 
Foilfractors #1/1
Clear Variations #/10
Printing Plates
Wood Parallels #/25 

Collectors will also find an expanded rainbow that includes:

Gold (#/2025)

...and a full spectrum of Rainbow Foil exclusives in Aqua, Purple, Blue, Green, Orange, Black, and Red with numbering ranging from #/250 all the way down to #/5.

Inserts: New Themes, Nostalgia & Big Art

This year’s insert roster combines fresh concepts with returning classics. New sets like Bleacher Reachers, Night Terrors, and Most Valuable bring bold designs and strong checklists to the release, while familiar favorites return such as:

Mystical
Topps Black Gold
First Pitch
2025 All-Star Game

All inserts include their own full rainbow of parallels, from Pink Foil (limited) to Blue (#/150), Green (#/99), Gold (#/50), Orange (#/25), Black (#/10), Red (#/5), and Foilfractor (#1/1), giving collectors plenty of opportunities for rare pulls.

1990 Topps Baseball – 35th Anniversary Inserts

A major highlight in 2025 Update is the celebration of the 35th Anniversary of the 1990 Topps design. These throwback inserts feature a mix of current stars, rookies, and legends printed in the iconic ’90 border style.

Parallel chases include:

Pink
 “The Real One” (#/90)
Gold (#/50)
No Name parallel (#/35)
Black (#/10)
Red (#/5)
Platinum (#1/1) 

Autographs: Stars, Rookies, Celebrities & More

The autograph lineup in 2025 Update is one of the best we've seen! Baseball Stars Autographs highlight top players with parallels as low as Platinum 1/1, while the 1990 Topps Autographs bring on-card signatures to the nostalgic insert line. This year also includes First Pitch Autographs numbered to /99 and down to Foilfractor 1/1, capturing celebrities and public figures who took the mound for 2025 first pitches. Meanwhile, the Flagship Real One and Golden Mirror Autographs provide limited on-card signatures with classic Topps styling, including gold-ink versions that stand out beautifully.

Autograph Relics 

For collectors who love patches and game-used pieces, 2025 Update offers several standout relic lines. Flagship Autograph Patch Cards combine on-card signatures with game-used patches and are numbered to /50 with parallels down to 1/1. Major League Material Autographs, Heavy Lumber Autograph Relics, and the freshly introduced All-Star Stitches Autograph Cards round out the autograph relic selection, offering patch autos numbered to /25 or less. These additions give collectors even more ways to hit premium content in every box.

Relics & Memorabilia Cards

Topps also includes a strong range of non-autographed relics such as Major League Material, 1990 Topps Relics, and All-Star Relics, each with its own chase parallels from Blue (#/150) down to Platinum (#1/1). The crown jewels of the relic lineup, however, are the In The Name Relics, featuring 1-of-1 game-used nameplate letters exclusive to Hobby and Jumbo boxes.

2025 Topps Update is shaping up to be one of the most stacked Update releases Topps has put out in years. Between the deep rookie class, expanded parallel rainbow, new insert themes, nostalgic 1990 Topps celebration, premium patches, one-of-ones, and exclusive Silver Pack bonuses, this product delivers something for every type of collector.
