What We Know About 2025 Topps Diamond Icons Baseball

What We Know About 2025 Topps Diamond Icons Baseball
Release / Basic Info
-
Release Date: October 22, 2025 Checklist Insider
-
Every box is designed to include 9 autographs + 1 relic + 1 base card Checklist Insider+2Beckett+2
-
In past Diamond Icons releases, there was no “base set” per se (most cards were hits). But for 2025, Topps has stated that every box has one base card (in addition to the hits) Checklist Insider
-
The product is very hit-driven; many (if not most) of the cards are autographs or memorabilia / relics. Checklist Insider+2Beckett+2
Checklist & Subsets (As Known / Expected)
Below is a summary of known subsets, autograph / relic categories, parallels, and general structure. Note that many of these are published as “checklist outlines,” not full card-by-card names.
Autograph / Hit Sets
Here are some of the main autograph / hit categories and how they are structured (limitation, parallels, etc.):

Relics, Memorabilia, & Special / Ultra Hits
In addition to autograph cards, the release includes a variety of relic and dual / triple combos. Some known categories:
-
Autographed Diamond Relics — /5 Checklist Insider
-
Autographed Diamond Studs — 1/1 (very ultra—e.g. includes 10 diamonds on a single card) Checklist Insider
-
Single Player Relics — /25 Checklist Insider
-
Single Player Dual Team Autographed Relics — /25 Checklist Insider
-
Dual Autographed Diamond Relics — /3 Checklist Insider
-
Cut Signatures / Immortal Cut Signatures — 1/1 (cut autographs of historical players) Checklist Insider
-
Jumbo Patches, Logo Patches, Preeminent Pieces, Dual / Triple Relics — a wide range of versions with serial / parallel variations Checklist Insider
-
Liquid Silver Insert (returning from prior years) — there is an insert called “Liquid Silver,” and also a super-short “Liquid Gold” 1/1 version Checklist Insider
Product Structure & Box / Pack Configuration
-
Hobby Box Configuration: 11 cards per pack, 1 pack per box, 2 boxes per case (i.e. extremely high-end) Checklist Insider
-
Hits per Hobby Box: 9 autographs, 1 relic, 1 base card Checklist Insider+1
-
Because of this ultra-high-end format, checklists are much more “hit heavy” and few “base / filler” cards beyond that single base per box. Beckett+1
What Is Unknown / Not Yet Public
-
The full card-by-card names (i.e. “Card #1: Player A, Card #2: Player B, …”) have not yet been officially published in full that I could find.
-
Exact parallel / color breakdowns for every variant (i.e. which player cards get which parallel colors and variants) are only published in summary / section titles, not per card.
-
Pack / box odds for every subset (i.e. odds to pull a Diamond Drip autograph, or a Dual Autographed Diamond Relic) are not fully published yet.
-
Detailed insert odds and “slotting” rules (which card goes in which slot) are not fully disclosed yet.
-
Retail version details (if there is a retail version) or hobby vs retail variant differences are not yet clear in all sources.
-
Some ultra-rare items like “Autographed Diamond Studs” or “Liquid Gold 1/1” have been announced, but their precise odds and which players will appear still are under wraps.
