With the MLB Debut Patch and Logo Man having become two of the biggest chases in the baseball card world, it looks like 2025 Topps Pro Debut will introduce a new chase that could rival those two.
According to Topps.com, the 2025 Pro Debut set, which focuses on prospects in their minor league team attire, will introduce the Minor League Logo Man chase, featuring game-worn MiLB logo patches put into autographed 1/1 cards.
The release will also introduce jumbo autograph relic cards.
Topps Pro Debut is a popular release for prospect collectors, in large part because Topps is the only company licensed to use MiLB team names and logos.
An image posted on the Topps website also gives an early look at the 2025 design. As in past years, 2025 Pro Debut will pick up the flagship Topps design, modified with minor league teams and logos.
Though the full checklist—which will feature a 200-card base set, according to Topps—has not yet been released, images show cards of top prospects Konnor Griffin, JJ Wetherholt, Charlie Condon and more.
It looks like Topps will also use their 2025 Heritage throwback design for a set of classic minor league players, including Buster Posey.
New inserts for 2025 will include “Drafted, League Elites, Stars of MiLB and Ballpark Promos,” according to Topps.
As in past years, jumbo boxes will include four autographs, per Topps. The site does not yet have information about other formats, but in past years, there has also been a hobby box format that included three autographs.
The 2025 Topps Pro Debut checklist, prices, release date have not yet been released. Last year, they were revealed in early September, so check back with Baseball America for more information as it becomes available.
The Debut Patch hunt, introduced in 2023, has become arguably the biggest hunt of the year in the collectible world, as evidenced by the Paul Skenes 1/1 debut patch chase that consumed the hobby last fall/winter and wound up selling for $1.1 million at auction this past March.
Logo Man chases have been around a lot longer and have grown in popularity in recent years. This year, Topps and parent company Fanatics introduced the “Gold Logo Man” chase, featuring gold Logo Man patches worn by players who had won MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year awards the year prior. These were first inserted in the just-released 2025 Topps Chrome set, with the new round of Debut Patches expected to be included in this fall’s 2025 Topps Chrome Update.
Just this past weekend, a 1/1 card featuring NBA Logo man patches from Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan (plus autographs of both) sold at auction for nearly $13 million.
