About 2022 Japan Edition Baseball

2022 Topps Japan Edition Baseball overview, key cards and what collectors chase

2022 Topps Japan Edition is Topps' Japan-themed baseball release, with a 220-card base set featuring MLB stars and rookies. It includes a 15-card MVP set dedicated entirely to Shohei Ohtani and a 35-card 1987 Topps Cherry Tree Variation subset. The parallels follow a Japanese motif, from Cherry Blossoms /99 to Green Jade /75.

What's in the checklist

  • Base: 220 cards with Cherry Blossoms /99, Green Jade /75, Purple /50, Gold /25, Red /5 and Platinum /1
  • Inserts: MVP (15 Ohtani cards) and 1987 Topps Cherry Tree Variation (35), each with Gold /25, Red /5 and Platinum /1
  • Autographs and relics: 42-card Japan Edition Autographs, 15 MVP Autographs and 15 MVP Commemorative Patch Relics

Key players

Shohei Ohtani leads the set with card 1 and the full MVP subset. Rookies include Julio Rodriguez, Jeremy Pena, Bobby Witt Jr., CJ Abrams and Hunter Greene. The autograph list adds Japanese stars Ichiro, Hideki Matsui and Hirokazu Sawamura, plus Bo Bichette and Fernando Tatis Jr.

Grading considerations

Ohtani MVP cards and the Ichiro and Matsui autographs are among the cards collectors commonly consider for grading. Check centering on the bordered base design, and look for print spots on the lighter Cherry Blossoms parallels. See our pricing.
