Detailed Look at the 2025 Topps Chrome Checklist
The 2025 collection features an impressive 300-card base set, including 100 notable rookie cards. Diverse Refractors add color and rarity to the base set, with specific Refractors found exclusively within certain box types, heightening their desirability.
A standout highlight is the limited-edition collaboration with famed Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, whose iconic smiling flowers and vivid designs grace a special parallel numbered to only three copies each.
In addition to standard variations, collectors can hunt for 50 base card variations, ten ultra-rare SSP variants, and commemorative cards numbered to 24 honoring the MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Cy Young Award winners from 2024.
