Set of the Month
1987 Leaf is a 264-card version of the 1987 Donruss set, produced for the Canadian market. The design of Leaf is identical to Donruss with the exception of the "Leaf" logo on the front of the card, and the backs of the card written in both English and French. The set is slanted towards players from the two Canadian teams and features two "Canadian Greats" cards that are exclusive to Leaf.

Just Released
2020 Panini Elite Extra Edition was released January 6th, 2021. As usual, the product focuses on recent draft picks and prospects, and can be seen as Panini's answer to Bowman Draft. Each base card is serial-numbered to 999 copies. Each five-pack Hobby box will yield two game-used memorabilia cards and eight autographs. FOr the first time in years, a stripped-down version is being released for the retail market. 2020 Bowman's Best was released December 23rd and consists of a 70-card base set 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, nine inserts, and an Atomic Refractor. 2020 Bowman Draft is a 200-card set released December 7th. Each Hobby only Jumbo will contain three autographs, 24 Refractors, a box topper, and eleven inserts, while Super Jumbo boxes will yield five signatures and 40 Refractors. 2020 Stadium Club Chrome is a 400-card set released December 9th and is the first Stadium Club Chrome set in 20 years. The base set is a full 300-card parallel of the 2020 Stadium Club set with an additional 100 cards tacked on. Of course, the regular Stadium Club release already had a 90-card Chrome partial-parallel, so, to differentiate, these 90 cards have different photographs. Each seven card pack will yield an insert or a Refractor parallel. Each 14-pack Hobby box will come with an autograph. 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. Each pack will contain five base cards, two Prizm parallels, and one autograph. 2020 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 2020 Topps Dynasty was released November 4th. As usual, each box will contain an encased autographed patch card serial-numbered to ten or fewer. 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. The product does NOT have any active Major League players and as such, is not licensed by the MLB Players Association (even though Panini does have an MLBPA license). Each pack contains three Purple parallels and an autograph. 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. Each box will yield one Framed Autograph. 2020 Triple Threads is a 100-card set released October 7th -- two weeks earlier than the previous year. Each seven-card Hobby pack will contain three base cards, two parallels, one triple Relic card serial-numbered to 36 copies or fewer, and an autograph or autographed relic serial-numbered to 99 copies or fewer. 2020 Topps Heritage Minor League is a 225-card set released October 7th. Topps went ahead with this release, despite the fact that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Minor League Baseball season was cancelled. Each 18-pack Hobby box will yield one relic and one autograph. 2020 Panini Chronicles is a 45-card set released September 25th. As with previous iterations of this product, Chronicles features an original base set along with inserts based off other Panini brands. Each six-pack Hobby box will contain three autographs and a game-used memorabilia card. 2020 Bowman Chrome was released September 18th with a 100-card base set supplemented by a 100-card Prospects set. Each 12-pack Hobby box will yield a pair of autographs. For the fourth consecutive year, HTA Choice boxes are available which contain three autographs and nothing else. 2020 Topps Allen & Ginter is a 350-card set, released the week of September 16th -- two months later than its usual mid-Summer release. As usual, each 24-pack Hobby box will include three of the following: Autographs, Relics, Rip Cards, or A&G Originals. |
