[[2017 Finest]] is a 125-card set, released by Topps on June 7th.  After controversially (and unsuccessfully) distributing 2016 Finest exclusively on their e-commerce website, the 2017 edition returns as a Hobby-only product.  Each box will yield two autographs.

<div class="row">
<div style = "class">
[[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 Sterling]] was released June 4th.  Each two-card box contains two autographed game-used cards serial-numbered to 25 copies or less with every fourth box yielding a one-of-one.


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.
We estimate that 1400 cases were produced -- an increase in product of over 40% for the [[2024 Topps Sterling|previous year's product.]]
Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield two autographs and two Derek Jeter Retrospective inserts.

<div style = "class">
[[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 Bowman]] is a 100-card set, supplemented by a 150-card Prospects set, released May 7th. Each Hobby box will yield one autograph and 18 inserts. Hobby Jumbo boxes will contain three autographs and 12 inserts.

[[2024-25 National Treasures]] was released by Panini May 7th, 2025. As usual, every card is autographed and/or a memorabilia card serial-numbered to 99 copies or fewer.


Each 16-box case should yield four Autographed Patches, one Autographed Jumbo Patch, and a Silver Signings card.  
Although Panini is marketing this as a "2024" product, due to the product's late release, BCP considers this a 2025 set.

<div class="row">
[[2017 Bowman]] is a 100-card set, supplemented by a 150-card Prospects "insert" set, released April 26th. Each Hobby box will come with one autograph, while hobby-exclusive Jumbo boxes will yield three.


It should be noted that while Topps is billing 2017 Bowman as the "70th Anniversary," it is actually the 69th as the first Bowman set was released in 1948.  
<div style = "class">
[[2025 Topps Heritage]] is a 500 card set, released April 23rd.  In keeping with the brand's aesthetic, the design is based on the [[1976 Topps]] set.

[[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 cards.  This 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.
<div style = "class">
[[2024-25 Select]] was released April 10th, 2025.  The 300-card base set is fractured into three levels.


Each card will have a unique code (concealed by a silver "scratcher" bar) that, when entered onto the Honus Bonus website, can be used as part of an on-line fantasy baseball game.
Each 12-pack Hobby box will yield twelve Prizm parallels, nine inserts, two autographs, and a game-used card.
</div>


<div style = "class">
[[2024-25 Topps Heritage High Number Series]] is a 225-card set released March 26th, 2025 -- over a full year after the release of the [[2024 Topps Heritage]] brand, and six months after the High Number Series' normal September release date. Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield five Chrome parallels, seven other non-Chrome parallels, and either an autograph or Relic card.
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">


[[2017 Topps Gypsy Queen]] is a 320-card set.  In response to lagging sales and collector interest, Topps has reconfigured the Gypsy Queen brand at a lower price point.  Gone are the one-per-pack mini parallels, as well as the two-per-Hobby box Relics -- although each 24-pack Hobby box will continue to yield two autographs.  The ten-card "mini-box," which had been a Gypsy Queen staple, is also replaced by an oversized GQ Reflections box topper.
