All 100 cards with the 1975 design (#101-#200) are available in a parallel where the facsimile signature has been removed.

===1975 Topps Mini===

All 100 cards with the 1975 design are also available in a Mini parallel. Unlike the NoSig parallels, the Minis are sequentially-numbered differently; however, all 100 cards in the base set are in the Mini set.

This insert set features prominent Montreal Expos -- all done in the style of the [[1969 Topps]] set.  (It should also be noted that the San Diego Padres, Kansas City Royals, and Seattle Pilots had their 50th anniversary in 2019, but I guess they're not *that* important.)  Each card is also available in the following parallels.

* Blue (serial-numbered to 150 copies)
* Green (serial-numbered to 99 copies)
* Gold (serial-numbered to 50 copies)
* Red (serial-numbered to ten)
* Black (one-of-one)

===Ichiro Retrospective===

Much like they did with [[2017 Topps Archives#Derek_Jeter_Retrospective|Derek Jeter in 2017,]] Topps reprinted all of Ichiro's flagship base cards from the start to the end of his career.  Each is also available in the following parallels.

* Purple Foil (serial-numbered to 150 copies)
* Green Foil (serial-numbered to 99 copies)
* Blue Foil (serial-numbered to 50 copies)
* Red Foil (serial-numbered to ten)
* Gold Foil (one-of-one)

'''NOTES''' 

* Cards #I-1, #I-2, and #I-16 (reprints of Ichiro's [[2001 Topps|2001,]] [[2002 Topps|2002,]] and [[2016 Topps]] cards, respectively) are short-printed and seeded at the "case hit" level.
* As Ichiro was not under contract for the 2013 and 2014 seasons, he did not have a card in the [[2013 Topps|2013]] or [[2014 Topps]] sets.  Historically, Topps retroactively produced "cards that never were" for those stars who, at the time, did not have a Topps card made.  (e.g. For the [[1982 Topps K-Mart]] set, Topps made a 1962 Topps card of Maury Wills, even though Wills did not appear on a Topps card until 1967.  The same is true for Alex Rodriguez who did not have a Topps card until 1998 with [[2005 Bowman]] and [[2005 Topps]] having retconned 1994-97 A-Rod cards.)  Topps decided not to create a 2013 or 2014 Topps Ichiro card for this set.
