MLB Stars Meet Card Shop Vibes in 2025 Bowman Insert
In 2025 Bowman Baseball, collectors are treated to one of the most imaginative insert concepts this year: Hobby Stars. This fresh set reimagines today’s standout players as if they were running their own baseball card shops—complete with signage, storefronts, and unmistakable personalities. It’s a mash-up of MLB talent and hobby culture that hits all the right nostalgic and creative notes.
What’s Cool About Hobby Stars?
Every Hobby Stars card is a mini love letter to the card shop experience—picture James Wood, Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, and more with their own hobby shop filled with wax boxes stacked floor-to-ceiling. These inserts are loaded with charm and clever design details, making each card feel like a hobby-themed world. And with limited print runs, the chase is very real.
What’s the Inspiration Behind the Set?
The concept is straight from the collector’s heart: the local hobby shop. Bowman pays tribute to the cornerstone of the collecting community by imagining each featured MLB player as the face of their own store. It’s a nod to the places where collectors first fell in love with The Hobby, and a creative way to blend baseball stardom with the passion that fuels the card world.
Why Should Collectors Be Excited?
Hobby Stars hits on all levels: originality, collectability, and pure fun. The unique design and the player checklist are packed with hobby royalty. Dylan Crews continues to surge in the NL ROY hunt, Shohei Ohtani needs no introduction, and Japanese sensation Roki Sasaki brings global flair to the insert lineup. Whether you’re ripping for PC gold or eyeing long-term holds, these cards deliver something genuinely new to chase.
