[[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.
[[2012 Topps Heritage]] is a 600 card set released in two series.

In its 12th year, 2012 Heritage is based on the "dual-photo" design of the 1963 Topps set.
 
The final 100 cards (#576-#675) are part of the "Heritage High Number" set, which was released exclusively to Topps' e-commerce website the week of November 6th, 2012. Only 1000 High Number factory sets were produced.
