Panini is bringing back its streamlined Three and Two Baseball line for 2025, and collectors know exactly what they’re getting: five total cards with two guaranteed hits. Each hobby box has one autograph, one memorabilia card, and three base, insert, or parallel cards, making for a quick break that focuses more on quality than quantity.
Encased cards for a premium feel
Every autograph and memorabilia card comes sealed in a plastic case by Panini, which gives the product a higher-end presentation. While collectors only see five cards per box, the encased format adds to the appeal and ensures hits arrive protected and display-ready.What to expect from the checklist
Panini has not yet released full details for the base set, but past years suggest a mix of prospects, legends, and retired greats with a handful of active stars sprinkled in. Without an MLBPA license, the checklist avoids current union players but still manages to deliver recognizable names and plenty of chase-worthy prospects.Autographs and memorabilia highlights
Jersey Autographs remain a core part of the product, often featuring multi-color swatches from top young talent. Spotlight Spikes Signatures, which include pieces of game-used shoes, are also back and continue to be one of the more unique relic concepts in the hobby.One of the biggest changes this year is the debut of Trifecta Signatures, which combine three autographs on a single card. These should be particularly popular among collectors who like multi-player pieces and big pulls.
Parallels and inserts
Panini has already confirmed that parallels will once again feature options like Bases Loaded and Emerald, with more color and variations expected as the checklist is revealed. Inserts are also on the way, although specific designs have not been announced yet.Box breakdown
