Pro Debut is one of the more economically priced products, at $109.99 for pre-sale on Topps.com. Most years Topps releases two SKUs, the hobby box and the jumbo box, however this year it looks like they are only offering one SKU and they are calling it the hobby box. And while it has four autographs, the box image shows it looking more like a jumbo box.
In year's past, the hobby box typically came with four autographs, while the jumbo box came with three, but you had better odds hitting a chrome autograph. This year with just the one SKU, you still get four autographs. Not many hobby products are released that include more than two.
The product features mostly prospects, but differing from a Bowman product, the Topps Pro Debut features players in their minor league uniforms, with the logos in tow. According to the product page, it will have a 200-player checklist.
For the first time, collector's can pull jumbo autograph relic cards, as well as logoman autograph relic cards. Chrome variations and new inserts are also included in the new 2025 Pro Debut, according to the Topps product page.
While cards of top stars don't bring the resale value of a Topps Chrome, or even a Bowman product, you still can pull some great cards that are highly desirable. For instance, last year Paul Skenes had autographs, and regardless of the uniform, will still sell on the open market.
According to 130 Point, the above Paul Skenes card sold for $450 on a buy-it-now sale on eBay.
The Topps Product page lists November 12, 2025 as the release date.
