2025 Topps Series 1 Celebration Mega Box Drops Just in Time for Opening Day

If ever there was a day worthy of a national holiday, I would argue that Opening Day is that day. Over the years, Topps has had several brands, typically low-cost, that released on or around Opening Day.

Opening Day was the first, and lasted several years. Big League followed for a few seasons. This year, we don’t get a completely new offering, but a twist on the recently released 2025 Topps Series 1.

But what will collectors find inside 2025 Topps Series 1 Celebration Mega Box? What are the hits? And are these worth a break?

2025 Topps Series 1 Celebration Mega Box Value

2025 Topps Series 1 Celebration Mega Box is brand new for 2025, but do we think they’ll be a good value? Honestly, the answer, from a pure value perspective, is “no”. With mostly standard 2025 Topps Series 1 cards, these isn’t nothing new.

The exclusive parallels and inserts are cool, but unless you’re a fan of the look and will enjoy hitting those, they probably won’t give you great ROI. Some of the rarer parallels of these exclusives will hold some value, but many of the base versions aren’t rare, and won’t fetch much.

That being said, if you just enjoy busting some packs and getting some exclusives, these could be a fun break with a lot of exclusive fun.

Final Thoughts on 2025 Topps Series 1 Celebration Mega Box

2025 Topps Series 1 Celebration Mega Box is the next edition of the Topps tradition of something low cost and fun to break on and around Opening Day. While these probably aren’t the best investment, they do offer up some fun exclusives for what is now a lower price point in the hobby.
