Bob Ross Meets MLB in 2025 Topps Joy of Baseball Cards

Talk about a curveball collaboration—this one’s out of the ballpark! Whether it came from left field, right field, or center, Topps has pitched a truly unexpected crossover that’s sure to be a home run with fans of both fine art and America’s pastime.

Introducing the 2025 Topps X Bob Ross: The Joy of Baseball – Season 2. Following the surprise hit of the 2023 debut, this unique series brings the calm brushstrokes of the late, great Bob Ross back into the lineup, this time stepping up to the plate with even more Major League Baseball icons.

In this second season, Topps teams up once again with the Bob Ross estate to create a card collection that blends the beauty of Ross’ peaceful landscapes with the electric energy of MLB legends, both past and present. Each card is a visual double-play: the soothing scenery of Ross’ world paired with the silhouettes and profiles of baseball’s brightest stars.

Collectors can swing for two configurations when the product drops:

• Happy Little Boxes, for those who love a base hit of joy.
• Collector’s Boxes, for the heavy hitters—these come loaded with two autographs and an exclusive Topps-branded paintbrush, perfect for painting your happy little trees between innings.

The 2025 checklist is stacked, with expected signers like Mookie Betts, Paul Skenes, Pete Crow-Armstrong, and others who are ready to brush up on their baseball legacy. Whether you’re a seasoned hobbyist or a rookie collector, these cards promise to be true works of art—canvas meets canvas, field meets easel.

Baseball and the visual arts have long shared a subtle yet powerful bond, with artists capturing the game’s timeless blend of romance, nostalgia, and pastoral beauty. In the 19th century, painters like Thomas Eakins, William Morris Hunt, and the printmakers Currier and Ives portrayed baseball as a serene, all-American tradition. Though many 20th-century fine artists looked elsewhere, talents like George Bellows, Andy Warhol, LeRoy Neiman, Lance Richbourg, and especially Norman Rockwell continued the legacy—Rockwell’s beloved baseball works, once gracing The Saturday Evening Post, now reside in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. And now, with Bob Ross’s tranquil landscapes entering the frame, the art of the game gains a whole new layer of joyful serenity.

It’s a wild pitch no one saw coming, but trust us—this one’s going, going… gone.
