Each eight-card box will contain one parallel and one autograph. 2016 Topps Gold Label is a 300-card set scheduled for release October 21st.

Each seven-pack Hobby box will yield one Framed Autograph. 2016 Topps Update is a 300-card set (100 cards smaller than the previous year's set), released October 19th, 2016.

This set will have the first Topps flagship card of Baltimore Orioles All-Star catcher Matt Wieters. 2016 Topps Five Star was released October 5th, 2016. All cards are autographed, and each box will contain two. 2016 Triple Threads is a 100-card set originally scheduled for release September 14th, 2016, but was recalled due to undisclosed "packaging issues" and eventually released two weeks late on September 28th.

Each 80-card Vending Box will yield three autographs. 2016 Topps Archives Signature Series All-Star Edition was released exclusively to Hobby outlets August 30th, 2016. As with the previous year's product, each box contains one encased autographed buyback card which is stamped as coming from this product and serial-numbered. Rather than the plastic "slabs" Topps had used in the past (in brands like Topps Tribute and eTopps), each card is encased in an off-the-shelf BCW Mini Snap magnetic holder with a sticker sealing it shut. Since One Touch holders can only fit standard-sized (2 1/2" X 3 1/2") cards, all pre-1957 Topps cards (which measure 2 5/8" X 3 3/4") used in this product are encased in top-loaders. As the subtitle of the product's name suggests, each player was at one point in their career an All-Star. New for 2016 are multi-player autographs and autographed game-used Relic cards. There appears to be a significant number deceased players -- some dead for over a decade. It is unclear how Topps acquired these cards (i.e. whether these players signed for Topps before their death, or if these autographs were purchased by Topps from third-parties). 2016 Bowman Platinum is a 100-card set, supplemented by a 110-card Top Prospects set, scheduled for release August 24th.

Each base card is serial-numbered to 99 copies. Each six-card box will contain five autographs/game-used cards. 2016 Topps The Mint was released August 10th, 2016 -- a week earlier than previously announced. Each box will yield five serial-numbered on-card autographs with a limited checklist. On a box-per-box basis, this is the most expensive trading card product Topps has produced to date. The Mint will feature the first fully-licensed autograph of Vin Scully. 2016 Topps Strata was released August 10th, 2016. As with the the previous year's set, All cards are autographs and/or game-used Relics, with each two-card box yielding one of each. Every other box with have the Relic replaced with an Autographed Relic. Each Relic will have an MLB-issued authentication sticker affixed with a unique serial number. When entered into the MLB Authentication website, the serial number will allow collectors to verify the "game used" authenticity of their Strata card. 2016 Topps Chrome is a 200-card set scheduled for release August 3rd, 2016. As usual, each Hobby box will yield two autographs and the usual slew of Refractor parallels are included. 2016 Topps Allen & Ginter's is a 351-card set, released the week of July 22nd. As usual, each 24-pack Hobby box will include three of the following: Autographs, Relics, Rip Cards, or A&G Originals. After a year in which all 350 base cards were printed in equal quantities, the last 51 cards are back to being short-prints. 2016 Donruss Optic is a 175-card parallel brand scheduled for release July 20th. Each card is printed on what Panini calls "Optichrome" cardstock, and the whole product can be see as their rendition of Topps Chrome.

Each 20-pack Hobby box will yield two autographs. 2016 Topps Tribute was released exclusively to Hobby outlets July 16th. Each six-pack Hobby box will contain one serial-numbered parallel, three Relics, and three autographs. In an effort to avoid the previous year's smeared autograph debacle, Tribute will be printed on "Chromax" (i.e. Finest-style chrome) stock. 2016 Bowman Inception was released July 6th, 2016. Again, as is standard for this brand, there is no "base" set in the traditional sense and all cards are autographed. New for 2016, is the inclusion of a limited number of veteran players. Each five card pack contains four (on-card) autographs and an autographed (sticker) relic card. 2016 Stadium Club is a 300-card set released July 1st.
