Topps Issues Apology Over False Advertising
"Topps Stadium Club Baseball 2025 is expected to release on February 18, 2026. This fan-favorite set features some of the most visually-impressive cards on the market due to its use of photographs related to some of the game's biggest moments. When Topps opened pre-orders for this year's set, the packaging came with advertisements of Chrome cards as guarantees in a Hobby Box."
"Clever Cuban Cards discussed this situation on his podcast, The Hobby Handbook, as one of the many unhappy customers who placed a pre-order. While some people who had already bought 2025 Topps Stadium Club received emails regarding the change, Clever Cuban Cards himself did not. "I try to give Topps, in most instances, the benefit of the doubt. This email that communicates this information, I never got...If you're going to change a product functionally and fundamentally, you should probably tell people about it.""
Topps Stadium Club Baseball 2025 is slated for release on February 18, 2026. The set emphasizes photographic, visually-impressive cards tied to major game moments. Pre-order packaging originally displayed advertisements guaranteeing Chrome cards in Hobby Boxes. Topps later changed the images on its official site after pre-orders went live, removing references to Chrome cards. A screenshot of Topps' apology and explanation circulated in a Sports Card Nonsense Facebook group, and an apology email confirmed there would be no Chrome cards and that the originally displayed images were replaced. Some buyers received notification emails while others, including a noted podcaster, did not and expressed disappointment.
