[[2006 Topps Chrome]] is a 354-card parallel brand and was released in July, 2006. For the first time since 1997, Topps released Chrome in a single series.


The first 252 cards in this set feature veterans done in the style of the 2006 Topps Baseball set; while cards numbered #253-#275 feature Award Winners and #276-#330 feature rookies. The final 24 cards (#331-#354) are all autographed rookies.
[[2009 SP Legendary Cuts]] is a 200-card set released by Upper Deck June 3rd, 2009. The last 100 base cards are short-printed and are serial-numbered to 550 copies. Each 12-pack Hobby box will yield one short-print, seven 20th Anniversary inserts, three game-used memorabilia cards, and one dual memorabilia card. Each 16-box case should contain one 20th Anniversary memorabilia card, two autographs, two cut signatures, and one Mystery Cuts redemption card.


2006 was the first year of the MLBPA's new "Rookie Card" guidelines, and although all of the autographed and un-autographed "rookies" sport the standardized "ROOKIE CARD" icon, there are very few actual "true" rookie cards in 2006 ToppChro. One of the few true rookies, Kenji Johjima (Card #285), is also the sole player available on either an autographed or non-autographed card.
<h4>Previous Sets of the Month</h4>


Each 24-pack Hobby box should yield two autographs, 14 Refractors, and a Box Topper containing a card serial-numbered to 90 or less.

[[2017 Topps Archives]] is a 300-card set, released May 31st. As has been this brand's trademark, one third of the base set is done in the style of the [[1960 Topps]] set (which was the basis of [[2009 Topps Heritage]]), one third as [[1982 Topps]] (which was used as one of the designs in [[2013 Topps Archives]]), and the final third [[1992 Topps]].
[[2025 Topps Tier One]] was released September 10th. A box will contain one base card or base card parallel, two autographs and a relic.
</div>


Topps' initial solicitation for 2017 Archives promised "wide-ranging improvements," and one such improvement (and a major one, if that) was the subtraction of "high-number" short-prints to the base set. In the previous two years, Archives was solicited as a 300 card base set without short-prints, only for Topps to deliver a final product with SPed base cards (30 in 2015 and ten in 2016).  Another "addition-by-subtraction" improvement was the elimination of a celebrity/movie tie-in; replaced by a 23-card reprint insert of all of Derek Jeter's ''Topps Baseball'' base cards.

[[2017 Topps Inception]] is a 139-card set released May 19th, 2017. The product has been reconfigured from the previous year's product, yet still maintains the heavily Photoshop filtered look and feel. As the name suggests, the product has been re-branded from Bowman to Topps, and with that rebranding is a focus away from rookies and prospects and towards current Major League players.
[[2025 Finest]] is a 300-card set released August 12th.


A conventional base set has been added, and includes a 39-card Rookie Autographs subset. In addition, the number of autographs per box has been reduced from five to only one.
For the second consecutive year, Finest has a tiered base set.  The first 100 cards are "Commons".  Cards #101-200 are "Uncommons" and are seeded at the rate of one-per-pack.  The final 100 cards are "Rare" and come one in every third pack.


Each 16-box case should yield four Autographed Patches, one Autographed Jumbo Patch, and a Silver Signings card.

[[2017 Honus Bonus Baseball]] is a 500-card trading card game.  The set is being produced and distributed by Rittenhouse Archives, a noted producer of non-sports cardsThis is Rittenhouse's first baseball set, but not their first sports card product as they have had the WNBA license for a few years.  Due to their exclusive license with Topps, Honus Bonus is NOT licensed by MLB Properties and does not have logos.  The product is licensed by the MLBPA.
