[[2006 Upper Deck]] is a massive 1250-card set released in three series and is widely considered to be one of Upper Deck's finest accomplishments. The first series of 500 cards was released in April 6, 2006 while the next 500 cards were issued August 8th. Combo Fat Packs (containing cards from both series) were released September 21st. The final 250 cards were issued as part of the retail-exclusive Update Series, which went live in December. 50 cards in the Update Series were short-printed.
[[2000 Pacific Invincible]] is a 150-card set released in October, 2000. All cards are written in both English and Spanish.
 
The product was intended for release in August, but was pushed back so that Pacific could include their first game-used inserts. Unfortunately for Pacific, among those game-used cards is the now infamous Manny Ramirez "corked bat" card.

<div style = "class">
[[2020 Panini Prizm Draft Picks]] was released December 7th. It is a 164-card set of players primarily selected in the 2020 MLB Draft. Since Panini does not have an MLB Properties license, all players are depicted in either their high school or college uniform.
[[2024 Topps Chrome Black]] is a 100-card set released April 17th. Each four-card box will yield two base cards, one Refractor parallel serial-numbered to 199 copies or fewer, and one autograph.
 
Each pack will contain five base cards, two Prizm parallels, and one autograph.
</div>

<div style = "class">
[[2019 Panini Flawless]] is an 51-card set released December 4th. Each ten-card box will yield one jewel-encrusted base card or parallel serial-numbered to 20 copies or fewer, two game-used cards, and seven autographs.
[[2024 Topps Heritage]] is a 500 card set. In keeping with the brand's aesthetic, the design is based on the [[1975 Topps]] set.
</div>


<div style="class">
The first 500 cards were issued as part of the Heritage Series and was released April 10th. Each Hobby box will, as usual, yield a relic, an autograph or an autographed relic.
[[2020 Topps Allen & Ginter Chrome]] is a chromium-stock partial-parallel of the first 300 cards in the 2020 Topps Allen & Ginter set, released December 4th. Just like the regular A&G product, each pack contains one mini-sized parallel.
</div>
</div>


<div style="class">
<div style = "class">
[[2020 Topps Chrome Black]] is a 100-card set released November 25th. Despite the name, Chrome Black features an original design and is not a parallel brand.
[[2024 Topps Sterling]] was released April 3rd. Each two-card box contains two autographed game-used cards serial-numbered to 25 copies or less with every fourth box yielding a one-of-one.
 
Each four-card box will yield two base cards, one Refractor parallel serial-numbered to 199 copies or fewer, and one autograph.
 
We estimate that 45,400 boxes were produced and that each base card is limited, but not serial-numbered, to 230 copies.
</div>
 
<div style="class">
[[2020 Topps Update]] is a 300-card set released November 6th. Because of the abbreviated season, and the cancellation of the 2020 All-Star Game, this year's Update set has undergone a few changes.
 
In the base set, the rosters of that year's All-Star Game -- which has been a staple of the Update base set since it went to this format in the mid-2000s -- have been replaced with All-Star Game highlights and previous Home Run Derby winners. And due to the lack of rookie cards (as the MLBPA is holding back those players who made their Major League debut in 2020, for the 2021 sets), an Active Leaders subset was added to pad-out the checklist. Also, a number of players who did not actually play in 2020 (mostly those players who chose to opt-out of the 2020 season for COVID-19 reasons) were included.


On the insert side, a 30-card Prospects set includes some of the first cards of non-MLB players in a Topps-branded product since the establishment of the current MLB "rookie card" guidelines in 2006 -- although it should be noted that many of the players did, in fact, make their Major League debut in 2020, but are having their rookie cards held back by the MLBPA for 2021.
We estimate that 1000 cases were produced. While this is more than double the previous year's product, the number of boxes in a case was cut in half from eight to four, leading to an overall slight production increase.

[[2020 Topps Dynasty]] was released November 4th. As usual, each box will contain an encased autographed patch card serial-numbered to ten or fewer.
[[2023 Panini Elite Extra Edition]] was released March 27th, 2024. As usual, the product focuses on recent draft picks and prospects, and can be seen as Panini's answer to Bowman Draft.
</div>


<div style="class">
Each five-pack Hobby box will yield two game-used memorabilia cards and eight autographs.
[[2020 National Treasures]] was released by Panini November 4th. As usual, every card is autographed and/or a memorabilia card serial-numbered to 99 copies or fewer.

[[2020 Panini Contenders]] is a 162-card set released October 30th. The brand has been reconfigured away from a "draft pick" product to include active Major League players, in addition to rookies, prospects, and draft picks. For the first time, Contenders will also be released to retail outlets.
[[2023-24 Topps Transcendent]] was released March 27th, 2024. Each box contains ten packs of four cards. Each box will also contain the following:

* 20 Gold Framed Autographs –- all serial-numbered to 20 copies or fewer, two of which are ones-of-one.

[[2020 Topps Gold Label]] is a 300-card set released October 14th. As with the Gold Label sets of the late-90s, the set features 100 different players on three different "Class" cards: 1, 2, and 3. Unfortunately, the holo-foil plastic cardstock the brand was known for in the 90s was not used -- regular paper stock was used instead.

[[2023-24 Topps Dynasty]] was released March 22nd, 2024. As usual, each box will contain an encased autographed patch card serial-numbered to ten or fewer.

Set of the Month

2006 Upper Deck is a massive 1250-card set released in three series and is widely considered to be one of Upper Deck's finest accomplishments. The first series of 500 cards was released in April 6, 2006 while the next 500 cards were issued August 8th. Combo Fat Packs (containing cards from both series) were released September 21st. The final 250 cards were issued as part of the retail-exclusive Update Series, which went live in December. 50 cards in the Update Series were short-printed.

Previous Sets of the Month

Just Released

2024 Bowman is a 100-card set, supplemented by a 150-card Prospects set, released May 8th. Each Hobby box will yield one autograph and 18 inserts. Hobby Jumbo boxes will contain three autographs and 12 inserts.

2024 Topps Chrome Black is a 100-card set released April 17th. Each four-card box will yield two base cards, one Refractor parallel serial-numbered to 199 copies or fewer, and one autograph.

2024 Topps Heritage is a 500 card set. In keeping with the brand's aesthetic, the design is based on the 1975 Topps set.

The first 500 cards were issued as part of the Heritage Series and was released April 10th. Each Hobby box will, as usual, yield a relic, an autograph or an autographed relic.

2024 Topps Sterling was released April 3rd. Each two-card box contains two autographed game-used cards serial-numbered to 25 copies or less with every fourth box yielding a one-of-one.

We estimate that 1000 cases were produced. While this is more than double the previous year's product, the number of boxes in a case was cut in half from eight to four, leading to an overall slight production increase.

2023 Panini Elite Extra Edition was released March 27th, 2024. As usual, the product focuses on recent draft picks and prospects, and can be seen as Panini's answer to Bowman Draft.

Each five-pack Hobby box will yield two game-used memorabilia cards and eight autographs.

2023-24 Topps Transcendent was released March 27th, 2024. Each box contains ten packs of four cards. Each box will also contain the following:

  • 20 Gold Framed Autographs –- all serial-numbered to 20 copies or fewer, two of which are ones-of-one.
  • Ten Autographed Patch cards.
  • Ten Rookie Showcase Autographs or Rookie Showcase Autographed Patch cards.
  • One, one-of-one Through the Years Autograph.
  • One, one-of-one 1959 Autographed SuperFractor.
  • One, one-of-one Jumbo Autographed Patch Book card.
  • One, one-of-one Oversized Cut Signature.
  • One invitation to a VIP meet-and-greet.

2024 Topps Big League is a 310-card set released March 27th. The base set is tiered into five levels, with the scarcest ten-card Legendary tier packed out as case hits.

Each eight-card pack will yield one tiered base card and an insert.

2024 Topps Tribute was released March 27th. As usual, each three-card pack will include either an autograph or a Relic with half of packs yielding a Relic and half either an autograph or an autographed Relic. Two of the Relics in each Hobby box will be multi-swatch.

2023-24 Topps Dynasty was released March 22nd, 2024. As usual, each box will contain an encased autographed patch card serial-numbered to ten or fewer.

Because this product was released so far into 2024 -- almost a full month after 2024 Topps Series One -- BCP does not consider it a "2023" product.

2023 Bowman Inception is a 100-card set released exclusively to Hobby outlets March 22rd, 2024. Each seven-card box will contain four base cards, two parallels, and an autograph.

2023 Topps Five Star was released February 21st, 2024. All cards are autographed, and each box will contain two.

2024 Topps Series One is a 350-card set issued the week of February 14th. As usual, each 24-pack Hobby box will yield either an autograph or a Relic card while Hobby-exclusive jumbo boxes will yield an autograph, a game-used Relic, and a manufactured "relic."

2023 Topps Diamond Icons was released January 31st, 2024. As usual, each ten-card box will contain: one Relic, seven autographs, and a pair of autographed Relics. Every other box will yield a cut signature. All cards are serial-numbered to 25 copies or fewer.

2023 Panini Flawless is an 40-card set released February 7th, 2024. Each ten-card box will yield one jewel-encrusted base card or parallel serial-numbered to 20 copies or fewer, two game-used cards, and seven autographs.
