2025 Panini Prospect Edition Baseball marks the return of a set focused on up-and-coming stars under this brand name for a second year in a row. Before 2024, Panini produced its prospect-heavy baseball concept as Elite Extra Edition.

Hobby boxes remain the same size in 2025 (six packs of eight cards), but there are only four autographs per box, down from six in 2024.

2025 Panini Prospect Edition Baseball Checklist Overview

Many Panini baseball products already have a strong focus on prospects due to licensing constraints, but most other brands also include a variety of retired players and Hall of Famers. When it comes to Prospect Edition, however, it is almost exclusively about the young stars.

Though under a different brand name, the Prospect Edition base set follows the “ticket” structure made popular by the long-running Contenders brand and will include a variety of parallels, including Holo, Velocity, and Gold Vinyl styles.

Collectors will be chasing autographs from a variety of concepts, including some that feature on-card signatures from members of the 2025 MLB draft class.

Players making up the Future Legends Signatures checklist are those players that Panini suspects will make a lightning-quick rise to the majors.

Blue Chips Signatures, meanwhile, take a look at the top prospects throughout the minor leagues.

College Ties Dual Autographs also return.

One concept where prospects don’t completely rule the checklist is within the Kaboom insert. Veterans like Aaron Judge and Bobby Witt Jr. will join prospects like Ethan Holliday, a slight change in makeup from last year when the checklist was filled with 20 up-and-comers.
