Card No. 1 of every Topps Baseball Series 1 set is always remembered. The player that graces that golden number is the Chosen One, literally and figuratively. Since 1952, the lead-off card has been reserved for the best of the best—Hank Aaron, Jackie Robinson, Ted Williams, Nolan Ryan, Mike Trout, and Ronald Acuna Jr, to name a few. The No. 1 card has featured individual players, a league president, a commissioner, batting leaders, ERA leaders, World Series champions, home run leaders, the all-time home run king, record breakers, All-Star Rookie Cup recipients, and Future Stars.
Hank Aaron (1963, ’73, ’74, ’75, ’76) and Alex Rodriguez (2003, ’05, ’06, ’08, ’09) have each appeared a record five times on card No. 1. Nolan Ryan (1970, ’90, ’91, ’92) has earned four No. 1 cards. Ted Williams (1954, ’57, ’58) and, most recently, Mike Trout (2014, ’16, ’20) have three appearances each.
Since 2016, Topps has enlisted fans and collectors to vote for the player who will be on card No. 1, and the 2025 Topps Baseball Series 1 Card No. 1 was no different. Shohei Ohtani received the most votes and is your Flagship Card No. 1.
