Topps Chrome Update Featuring 2025 MLB Debut Patches Set For Nov. 10 Preorder

The biggest chase of the baseball card year is back, as Topps has announced 2025 Topps Chrome Update will be available for presale beginning Nov. 10.

While the Nov. 10 preorder date could change—many recent releases have seen preorder and on-sale dates moved around—Baseball America is here in the meantime with a rundown of items for collectors to get excited about in the upcoming release.

MLB Debut Patches For 2026

Topps Chrome Update annually includes the hugely popular hunt for autographed 1/1 Rookie Debut Patches. This year’s crop likely includes Nick Kurtz, Roki Sasaki and Dylan Crews, with more big names coming. While the formal checklist has not yet been released, based on Baseball America research, those three would be among 276 Debut Patches in this year’s set.

The only MLB Debut Patch officially confirmed by Topps so far is that of Twins outfielder Luke Keaschall, the image of which they have posted on their Chrome Update preview page:

Introduced in 2023, the Debut Patch chase has rapidly become the biggest in the hobby, thanks in large part to the popularity of last year’s Paul Skenes Debut Patch hunt. That card was found by an 11-year-old in California on Christmas morning and later sold at auction to Dick’s Sporting Goods for $1.11 million. Fans can now see the card on display at one of their stores in Pittsburgh.

Assuming this year’s checklist is, indeed, made up of 276 patches, it would be the most ever. Last year’s Topps Chrome Update had 251 patches, and the 2023 release had just 91.

MVP Buyback Program

Here’s another interesting wrinkle in Chrome Update: According to Topps, If Cal Raleigh wins AL MVP, his base card in Chrome Update would be eligible for the Topps MVP Buyback program since he did not have a base card in this year’s Topps Chrome release. The program offers collectors $20 or more in buyback credit for each card of eligible award winners.

The MVP announcement is not likely to come until a few days after the Nov. 10 preorder date.

Rookies & Inserts

In addition to the Debut Patches and possible MVP buybacks, Chrome Update is also known for its huge rookie classes and fun inserts—and this year looks to be no different.

Early product images released by Topps show the Chrome rookie cards for Nick Kurtz and Matt Shaw. Topps says new inserts for 2025 Chrome Update will include Fortune 15, Night Terrors and Power Players.

How To Buy Topps Chrome Update 2025

Given that Topps usually sets preorders to occur about four weeks before a product’s release, collectors should expect a likely sale date during the week of Dec. 8. Stay tuned to Baseball America in the event of updates.

Topps has not yet announced pricing and formats for the preorder. Last year’s preorder included hobby boxes featuring one guaranteed autograph (around $200) and jumbo boxes featuring three guaranteed autographs (around $400).
