2025 Topps Series 2 Baseball

2025 Topps Series 2 Baseball value

2025 Topps Series 2 Baseball brings us the next chapter of the 2025 Topps Flagship story. This mainstream offering provides us plenty of packaging formats and lots of inserts, relics, and autographs to chase.

But are these a good candidate to buy-and-hold unopened? Let’s see what a look at recent comps for hobby boxes from the last few years can suggest about the potential for 2025.

Shop for boxes of 2025 Topps Series 2 Baseball boxes on eBay

YearRecent Hobby Box Comp Price
2025$90
2024$125-150
2023$65-90
2022$80-110

The prices are a little all over the place, suggesting that these are a little hit-or-miss as a candidate to buy-and-hold unopened. That makes sense, as these are plentiful, and designed to be opened. That’s what I’d suggest you do with these boxes.

What about in terms of singles? What can a look at 2024 Topps Series 2 Baseball tell us about the potential for 2025?

The high water mark was a Shohei Ohtani Team Color Border in PSA 10 that sold for $3,500. A raw 1/1 Platinum parallel of Lawrence Butler sold for $2,500.

A Jackson Holliday SSP sold for $1,350, and a Jordan Walker 1/1 Platinum Autograph fetched $1,250. A handful of other cards sold for around $1,000 to $1,200 or so, with prices dropping from there.

Considering the price point of a hobby box, and other packaging formats being even less expensive, these prices are in line with what you’d expect, if maybe even a bit higher.

The best hits are of course super-rare, but for a flagship product, these offer a chance at some solid hits.
