Product Preview: 2025 Topps Archives

December 3, 2025

Well, we didn't get 2024 Archives until 2025, but looks like we don't have to wait quite as long this year. Topps ran a re-order for this set a few weeks ago at $129.99 per hobby box. They are currently as much as $199.99 for pre-orders on the secondary market. One of my favorite parts of this set are the autos: 2 guaranteed in a hobby box and they're all on-card.
