There are 22 players who have 2025 Topps Chrome Update Series Baseball variations.

These variations carry the same design as the base set and have a Refractor finish, but they utilize different photos that often feature the players away from the on-field action. Standard image variations also have six types of parallels that match base cards, so collectors will want to check their parallels to make sure they don’t miss an alternate image.

  • Green Refractor /99
  • Gold Refractor /50
  • Orange Refractor /25
  • Black Refractor /10
  • Red Refractor /5
  • Superfractor /1

Topps has not announced the odds of finding an image variation as of this writing.

2025 Topps Chrome Update Series Baseball Variations Codes and How to Use Them

Want another way to spot one of the 2025 Topps Chrome Update Series Baseball SP Image Variations besides the image on the front? The codes in the fine print on the card backs can tell you what you have. To check, simply look at the last three digits of the CMP code at the bottom of a card’s flip side. When it comes to variations, the three digits to know are:

  • Base Refractor – 500
  • Image Variations – 697

Another Way to Confirm Image Variations

2025 Topps Chrome Update Series Baseball Image Variations have a Refractor finish but are not classified as Refractors. Therefore, there is another tell on the backs of the cards for base Image Variations. On base Refractors, Topps spells it out for collectors with the word Refractor in small print below the card number in the upper right corner (as you can see on the Brooks Lee base Refractor example below).

That space is blank on variations, so if you have a card with the classic Refractor shine but no Refractor phrasing on the reverse, you probably have a variation.
