A limited release of 2025 Topps Series 2 Baseball, which will feature an exclusive parallel and insert, will only be available at Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 next month, Fanatics announced Monday.
The second of three exclusive drops created for the show, boxes of 2025 Topps Series 2 Fanatics Fest will only be available in-person June 21 and June 22 at the New York event. Hobby ($300) and Value ($50) configurations will be available for sale.
According to Fanatics, the exclusive Series 2 release will feature the return of Big Apple parallels, which debuted at last year’s event and an exclusive Swinging for the Stars insert.
Fanatics previously announced an exclusive 2025 Topps Formula 1 release for the show. The third and final exclusive trading card drop is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
The release of exclusive sets builds on a playbook introduced for Fanatics Fest NYC’s debut in 2024, which saw the company release a Topps Chrome set exclusively available at the event.
Fanatics and Topps also collaborated with musician Travis Scott and his Cactus Jack brand for a trading card set at Fanatics Fest NYC’s inaugural show last year. That drop ended up being one of the most well-received activations and immediately saw a significant rise in value on the secondary market.
Marketed by the company as a comic-con for sports fans, Fanatics Fest NYC debuted in 2024 and hosted more than 70,000 fans across the three-day show.
Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 will take place at the Javits Center in Manhattan from June 20-22.
