[[2009 Kellogg's Japan]] is a set of six "rulers" produced for the Japanese market. Each ruler measures fifteen centimeters and features lenticular printing of the player "in action." Unlike the previous two year's Kellogg's Japan sets, these "cards" do not have the Upper Deck branding.
[[2012 Topps Heritage]] is a 600 card set released in two series. The first 500 cards (#1-#500; with the final 75, short-printed) were issued as part of the regular Heritage product the week of March 14th, 2012.  In its 12th year, 2012 Heritage is based on the "dual-photo" design of the 1963 Topps set.
 
The final 100 cards (#576-#675) are part of the "Heritage High Number" set, which was released exclusively to Topps' e-commerce website the week of November 6th, 2012. Only 1000 High Number factory sets were produced.
 
Cards #501-#575 do not exist.
 
Each 24-pack Hobby should yield one autograph or Relic card, one over-sized box topper, eight short-printed base cards, and nine inserts. Each High Number factory set will include one on-card autograph.
