Happy release day! 2025 Topps Chrome Baseball has arrived and the chase is on for baseball fans and collectors of the sport and the Chrome brand. Stay tuned for continuing coverage of the release of 2025 Topps Chrome Baseball. Let's take an overview of some of the exciting chase cards that The Hobby will be on the look out for now that release day is finally upon us.

Roki Sasaki, Cover Star

This year's 2025 Topps Chrome Baseball cover athlete is none other than Japanese rookie Roki Sasaki. One of the most electric stars in Japan's NPB, the 23-year old has had some struggles to start his career, including an injury that has sidelined him since May 9. Recent news suggests Sasaki is increasing his velocity in bullpen sessions, and manager Dave Roberts recently said Sasaki was "feeling really good". Sasaki's Chrome debut is an exciting one and to learn more about his place as this year's Chrome Baseball cover athlete, check out this story from Collecting on SI writer Dylan Brown.

More Murakami

The exciting collaboration between Topps and renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami continues in 2025 Topps Chrome Baseball, with a very rare chase parallel designed by Murakami. With an incredible look that jumps out of the hand, an art-piece feel, and a fantastic checklist, and only three copies of each card, these should command plenty of attention. Murakami cards from 2025 Topps Baseball Series 1 Tokyo Series have proven popular so far. An Ohtani Murakami card numbered to five sold for over $2,000 on June 3.
