It’s a reign of bats and legends as Topps rolls out its much-anticipated All Kings insert set for the 2025 Baseball Series 2. If you’re the kind of fan who dreams in the stitches of a baseball, get ready for a royal treat. This regal line-up isn’t just another run-of-the-mill card collection—it’s a throne room filled with the most revered and feared hitters from both the present and yesteryears of the game.
Topps has proven their knack for crowning the elite, taking a mighty swing at gratitude for their 2025 Series 2, and they have knocked it out of the park with All Kings. Following the wild success of Series 1’s All Aces—which was a symphony of fastballs and strikeouts focused on the titans of the mound—the All Kings collection shifts the spotlight to majestic sluggers of the diamond.
But, dear collector, take note: This isn’t just a follower to All Aces, merely borrowing its limelight. No, the All Kings insert is a crescendo that boasts a premium checklist of 25 names, an anthology that intertwines the threads of modern might and vintage valor. And standing squarely at the forefront are Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. These two dominators do not just possess power in the batter’s box; they redefine what it means to approach the plate.
The roster doesn’t just rest on the laurels of these contemporary giants. It gathers an array of talent that any enthusiast would be eager to secure. The electrifying performances of superstars like Juan Soto, the thrill-inducing plays of Elly De La Cruz, Bryce Harper’s charismatic swings, and Bobby Witt Jr.’s skillful prowess decorate the lineup. Each of them is making waves in the 2025 season, carving their legacies and captivating the baseball hobbyist market like never before.
And then there’s the diamond in the rough—James Wood, the lone rookie whose explosive debut with the Nationals has the baseball almanacs buzzing. At the time of Topps’ unveiling, Wood is already creating legends of his own, securing 8th place in the home run race with 11 to his name and banking 25 RBIs for the season. His inclusion in All Kings feels like a coronation for those chasing rookie cards and a potential bounty if Topps decides to issue serial-numbered or autographed variants down the road.
However, lest one imagines this collection only honors the present, it tips its crown beautifully to the bygone epochs of the sport. All Kings incorporates icons like Mickey Mantle, the swinging sensation, Willie Mays, the complete package of grace and grit, Jackie Robinson, whose courage is immortal, Derek Jeter with his legendary poise, and the magnetic Ken Griffey Jr. entering from the annals of history into a modern collector’s realm. This blend of past and present not only fulfills the dreams of seasoned collectors but sparks a newfound penchant for the game’s timeless tradition among fresh fans.
Anticipation teems as market watchers and hobbyists speculate on All Kings’ potential to rival—and perhaps even dethrone— its majestic predecessor, All Aces, in value. It’s a reality-based fantasy when one considers that Shohei Ohtani’s All Aces auto /10 achieved over $6,500 sale, and even his PSA 10 base insert from Series 1 touched a hot $1,775. Further, pitching prospect Paul Skenes had his All Aces PSA 10 fetched for $1,800 in the April of calendar year. Given that bat-wielders typically ignite greater interest than arm-hurlers, All Kings is poised for a stratospheric entry in market lore.
Collectors are buzzing, hearts are racing, and wallets are at the ready. Topps has outdone itself, mixing sleek, vibrant designs with themes that resonate with its audience. As All Aces laid down the pitcher’s gold standard, All Kings is prepared to reign even more boldly, appealing to the hearts, minds, and sleeves of avid collectors everywhere. So, whether it’s clamoring to capture a rookie sensation, cherishing legends on cardboard, or simply expanding a Judge or Ohtani mastery, this regal set is a scepter all hobbyists will want to wield.
There’s swing and swagger aplenty with the All Kings insert. If you count yourself among those who savor historic home runs and epic at-bats, consider this your official summons to the Collector’s Court of All Kings. Your throne awaits.
