Set of the Month

1997 Collector's Choice Teams are a series of ten, 14-card, team sets. Unlike similar "team set" products released that year by Score and Donruss, the Collector's Choice cards were sold as sets. Each set was sold in a blister pack with 13 player cards and one team logo card.

All cards are parallels of their respective 1997 Collector's Choice base card, but are sequentially-numbered differently.

Selectively marked sets also contained one card 3 1/2" X 5" from the 1997 Upper Deck Home Team Heroes boxed set.

Previous Sets of the Month

1989 Donruss All-Stars - 1986 Fleer League Leaders - 2016 Topps New Era - 2002 Studio - 2006 Upper Deck Special F/X - 2010 Finest - 2003 Topps Gallery - 1999 E-X Century - 2005 Topps Pristine Legends - 1995 Post Canada - 2009 Upper Deck X - 1994 Topps Traded - 2004 Upper Deck Vintage - 1995 Studio - 2005 Leaf - 1977 Topps Cloth Stickers - 1993 Cardtoons - 1998 Finest - 1984 Topps Traded - 1999 Topps Gold Label - 1997 Circa - 2001 SP Game Bat Milestone - 2004 Bowman - 1998 Topps Stars - 1992 Score

Just Released

2020 Topps Definitive Collection was released April 24th. An all "hit" product, each eight-card box will yield six on-card autographs and two Relics.

2020 Topps Transcendent Hall Of Fame was released April 24th. Only 50 sets were produced.

Each factory set contains the following:

  • One, 50-Card Hall of Fame Icons Base Set
  • One, 50-Card Hall of Famers Sketch Reproductions Set
  • One, one-of-one, Hall of Fame Sketch card
  • 40 Transcendent Autographs
  • One, one-of-one, Sandy Koufax Through the Years Autograph
  • One, one-of-one, 1954 Topps Baseball SuperFractor Autograph
  • One, one-of-one, Oversized Hall of Fame Cut Signature
  • One PSA-graded Hall of Fame Buyback
  • A VIP Experience Invitation

At present time, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the date and location of the VIP Experience has yet to be announced.

2020 Topps Tribute was released April 10th. The 2020 edition of Tribute was originally scheduled for release April 3rd, back to it's traditional Opening Day release after last year's set was delayed until August. In March, Topps delayed the release of Tribute to Memorial Day weekend, but with the advent of the COVID-19 virus, it was pushed ahead to it's original April release.

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 b multi-swatch. Each six-box Hobby case will yield two 2020 Rookie inserts serial-numbered to 450 copies or fewer; one Franchise Best and one Great Hitters autograph serial-numbered to 99 copies or fewer.

2020 Topps Gypsy Queen is a 320-card set released March 25th. Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield two autographs.

2020 Topps Inception is a 100-card set released exclusively to Hobby outlets on March 20th. Each seven-card box will contain four base cards, two parallels, and an autograph.

2020 Panini Stars & Stripes was released March 11th and features current and former members of the USA Baseball team. Each Hobby pack will contain a parallel and either an autograph or game-used card.

2020 Topps Opening Day was released March 11th. As usual, the base set is a rehash of 200 cards from the Topps flagship. Each pack will yield one insert -- which are original to the product.

2020 Donruss is a 264-card set released by Panini America on March 4th. Each Hobby box will yield three autographs/game-used cards.

2020 Topps Heritage is a 500-card set released February 26th. The last 100 cards are short-printed. In keeping with the brand's aesthetic, the design is based on the 1971 Topps set. Each Hobby box will, as usual, yield a relic, an autograph or an autographed relic.

2020 Topps is a 700-card set released in two equal series of 350 cards. Series One was issued the week of February 5th, 2020 while the second series will come out in June.

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."

2019 Bowman's Best was released December 18th and was, as recent established tradition, the final product released by Topps for the year. The base set consists of 70 cards supplemented by a 30-card "Top Prospects" subset. Each pack will yield one Refractor parallel, and each 12-pack Hobby box will have four autographs and an Atomic Refractor.

2019 Bowman Draft is a 200-card set released December 4th. Each Hobby only Jumbo will contain three autographs and 24 Refractors, while Super Jumbo boxes will yield five signatures and 40 Refractors.

2019 Panini Elite Extra Edition was released December 4th. As usual, the product focuses on recent draft picks and prospects, and can be seen as Panini's answer to Bowman Draft. In fact, the 2019 editions of both products were released the same day.

Each base card is serial-numbered to 999 copies. Each five-pack Hobby box will yield seven serial-numbered parallels, two game-used memorabilia cards, and eight autographs.

2019 Topps Transcendent was released November 27th. Only 100 sets were produced.

Each factory set, which is packaged in a wooden case contains the following:

  • One 50-Card base set -- serial-numbered to 100 sets.
  • One 100-Card Franchise Favorites Set -- also serial-numbered to 100 sets.
  • One, one-of-one, Franchise Favorites Sketch Card.
  • 50 Autographs –- all serial-numbered to 25 copies or fewer, two of which are ones-of-one.
  • One, one-of-one Derek Jeter Through the Years Autograph.
  • One, one-of-one 1953 Autographed Superfractors
  • One, one-of-one Autographed Patch, Cut Signature Bat Knob, or Cut Signature Bat Nameplate card.
  • One, one-of-one Oversized Cut Signature or Oversized Autographed Letter Patch.
  • And one invitation to a VIP meet-and-greet with Ken Griffey, Jr.

2019 Panini Flawless is an 65-card set released November 20th. Each ten-card box will yield one jewel-encrusted base card or parallel, two game-used cards, and seven autographs.

2019 Topps Gallery came out the week of November 18th. Once again, this product is exclusive to Walmart stores.

2019 Topps High Tek was released on November 13th, 2019. As usual, all cards are printed on acetate with multiple background pattern parallels. The 2019 edition reverted back to a traditional pack format, with each six-card pack yielding three base cards, two parallels, and an autograph.

2019 Panini Prizm Draft Picks was released November 6th, 2019. It is a 100-card set of players selected in the 2019 MLB Draft. Since Panini does not have an MLB Properties license, all players are depicted in either their high school, college, or USA Baseball uniform.

Each pack will contain four base cards, three Prizm parallels, and one autograph.
