Topps is back at it again—this time crowning the best hitters in the game with a brand-new insert set dropping in 2025 Topps Baseball Series 2. Appropriately titled All Kings, the new insert gives the spotlight to the sluggers after the overwhelming success of the All Aces insert, which focused on the sport’s elite pitchers in Series 1.

This isn’t just a spiritual sequel—it’s a loaded checklist that blends some of the game’s most feared bats with timeless legends. And leading the modern class? None other than Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani, two of the most dominant forces in the batter’s box today.

The checklist features 25 total names, and it’s packed with heavy hitters. Along with Judge and Ohtani, collectors will find Juan Soto, Elly De La Cruz, Bryce Harper, and Bobby Witt Jr., each of whom continues to impress in the 2025 season and command strong attention in the hobby world.

The only rookie featured in the All Kings lineup is James Wood, who’s turning heads in his first season with the Nationals. At the time of the announcement, Wood ranks 8th in home runs across the league with 11 and has already racked up 25 RBIs. His inclusion gives rookie chasers something to get excited about—especially if Topps introduces serial-numbered or autograph versions later in the season.

But the All Kings insert doesn’t stop at modern stars. It goes big—really big—by honoring some of the greatest hitters in baseball history. Expect to see Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Jackie Robinson, Derek Jeter, and Ken Griffey Jr. join the lineup, offering a blend of eras that adds major collector appeal. The legends add depth to the checklist and open up chase potential for both longtime collectors and newer fans with an appreciation for the game’s roots.

If you’re wondering whether All Kings will hold its own against All Aces in terms of market value—don’t bet against it. All Aces has already delivered some impressive sales. Shohei Ohtani’s All Aces auto /10 went for over $6,500, and his PSA 10 base insert from Series 1 reached $1,775. Even pitching prospect Paul Skenes saw one of his All Aces PSA 10s go for $1,800 in April. And those are pitchers—hitters usually draw even more attention.

Considering the hobby’s preference for position players and the caliber of names included, All Kings could become the defining insert of Series 2. Whether you’re collecting for the rookies, the legends, or looking to add more Judge and Ohtani to your portfolio, there’s a lot to look forward to with this drop.

Topps has found success blending sleek insert designs with fan-favorite themes. With All Aces already established as a collector favorite, All Kings looks ready to follow in its footsteps—only louder, bolder, and possibly more valuable. If you’re a fan of big bats and bigger moments, this is one insert you won’t want to miss.
