If you're one of those baseball collectors who's been all about the anime, this one's for you.

Buzz was busy today adding a bunch of cardboard to the preview gallery for the forthcoming 2025 Bowman release (click here to see all of those and order your boxes), but this one -- all 30 cards in the 2025 Bowman Anime insert set -- gets its own standalone.

Why? These baseball cards are unique and they're a popular style of artistic card inclusions from a few companies in a few sports in recent years. This time there are 30 standard cards for stars of the past, present and future -- and then four Japanese icons will have Kanji Variations to find as well.

You can learn more and see the 30 standard cards after the jump.

A new season of MLB action, a new season of top prospects ... and a new season of cardboard treasures inside.

Baseball America's 2025 Preview & Top 100 Prospects issue is here and just like its Best of 2024 Awards issue and its 2024 Draft Preview this one is jam-packed with everything one needs to know at its time of year -- and it again also includes some bonus collectibles.

Beyond the player rankings, profiles and scouting reports for this season, this issue's bonus insert should add to its demand. The inserts are similar to Sports Illustrated for Kids trading cards, which are heavily collected and, in the case of iconic stars and newcomers, often quite valuable.

Keep reading for the details and a look at what's in this one.
