2025 Topps Series 2 Baseball Sneak Peek — Five Rookies Set to Boom
2025 Topps Series 2, Topps Flagship’s second act, drops June 11, 2025, and the 350‑card checklist is headlined by a new wave of Rookie Cards (RCs)! Also find deep autograph tiers, and fresh insert tech like “Summer Superstars” and Player Number Variations. Hobby boxes promise 1 auto or relic, Jumbos guarantee three hits, and every configuration includes Silver Packs for extra chrome heat.
Below are 2025 Topps Series 2 five rookies collectors are already circling—each with the talent (and hobby buzz) to become this product’s breakout chase.
2025 Topps Series 2 Baseball — Five Rookies Set to Boom
| 2025 Topps(eBay) Series 2 Card # | 2025 Topps Series 2 Rookie (Team) |
|---|---|
| #558 Roki Sasaki Los Angeles Dodgers | The 22‑year‑old phenom from NPB signed a record deal with L.A. and touches 102 mph. Every Dodger ace since Koufax has headlined the hobby; expect Gold /2025 parallels to open north of $150 raw. |
| #524 Luisangel Acuña New York Mets | Ronald’s younger brother brings 70‑grade speed and a New‑York spotlight. His Bowman(eBay) autos already doubled after a 20‑SB April in Triple‑A; a true Topps RC should ignite a fresh buying wave. |
| #578 Kevin Alcántara Chicago Cubs | A 6’6″ center‑fielder with plus power/arm tools who torched Double‑A (.923 OPS) before a May call‑up. Cubs rookies command premium room‑tax pricing at the National in July. |
| #490 Jackson Jobe Detroit Tigers | The No. 3 overall pick in 2021 debuted with 11 K over five shut‑out frames. Detroit hasn’t had an ace‑level RC since Verlander; Clear Variation /10s will be graded immediately. |
| #408 Kumar Rocker Texas Rangers | Back from Tommy John and pumping 98 mph in Double‑A, the College WS legend still owns massive name recognition. If he headlines a “K Zone” insert or autos, deeper‑pocket investors will chase the rainbow. |
