MLB mascots get their moments in Topps Celebration boxes
The on-field furballs are back on baseball cards this year.
Actually, the mascots never truly left, but Topps' upcoming Celebration boxes for 2025 Topps Series 1 loosen things up and revisit a number of the inclusions in its old Opening Day brand where MLB's other stars at the stadium get baseball cards in the flagship-style Topps design once again.
Cards like this used to be the norm -- something Opening Day introduced back in 2007 -- until Topps ditched the brand for a more-obvious kid-branded Big League in 2023 and then again last year. And, yes, mascots were in play in those releases -- but not with the look of the players on the field ... you know, their teammates.
