Mini-Exclusive
Like the 2009 set, the final 21 cards (#211-#231) will only be available in the mini-sized format.
Parallels
It is unclear exactly how the mini-parallel sets will be structured -- i.e. whether or not all 210 cards will be parallels; or, like in 2009, only the short-set will be available.

- Black Bordered Lady Luck Mini
- Black-Bordered Magician Mini
- Gold-Bordered Presidential Mini

World Traveler
The World Traveler cards measure 5" X 7" and are seeded at the rate of one-per-Hobby box as a chiptopper.

Each Animal Kingdom manu-patch will be produced in varying quantities based on each species' endangerment status.
