[[2000 Pacific Invincible]] is a 150-card set released in October, 2000. All cards are written in both English and Spanish.
[[2002 Upper Deck MVP]] is a 301-card set released in May, 2002. Card #301 was added very late in the production run; however, it was not short-printed. Every other Hobby box will yield a game-used card.


The product was intended for release in August, but was pushed back so that Pacific could include their first game-used inserts. Unfortunately for Pacific, among those game-used cards is the now infamous Manny Ramirez "corked bat" card.

[[2015 Topps Strata]] is scheduled for release the week of December 23rd, 2015. Similar to [[2015 Topps Tier One|Tier One]] and [[2015 Topps Supreme|Supreme]], there is no "base set."  All cards are autographs and/or game-used Relics, with each two-card box yielding one of each.  
[[2025 Topps Five Star]] was released December 29th. For the first time since the product's 2013 edition, there is a 100-card base set. Each six-card box will contain five autographs, three more than in the previous year's product -- one of which will be either an Autographed Relic, a colored ink autograph, or a acetate autograph -- and one base card or base card parallel.
</div>
</div>


<div class="row">
<div style = "class">
[[2015 Bowman's Best]] is a 100-card set supplemented with a 50-card Top Prospects insert, scheduled for release exclusively to Hobby outlets December 23rd.  This marks the return of Bowman's Best after a eight year hiatus.
[[2025 Panini Flawless]] is a 99-card set released December 23rd. Each ten-card box will yield two jewel-encrusted base cards or parallels serial-numbered to 25 copies or fewer, two game-used cards, and six autographs.
</div>


Much like how the [[1994 Bowman's Best|original Bowman's Best]] was conceived as a hybrid of the Bowman and Finest brands, 2015 Bowman's Best can be seen as a hybrid of [[2015 Bowman]] and [[2015 Finest]]. Each Hobby box will contain two Finest-style six-pack mini-boxes, with each mini-box yielding two autographs.
<div style = "class">
[[2025 Topps Cosmic Chrome]] is a 200-card set released December 17th. Each 20-pack Hobby box will contain four Refractors and an insert. Every third box will yield an autograph.

[[2025 Topps Archives]] is a 300-card set released the week of December 12th. This year's set replicates the 1964, 1996, and 2005 Topps designs.

</div>


<div class="row">
<div style = "class">
[[2015 Bowman Draft]] is a 200-card set scheduled for release December 9th. For the second consecutive year Bowman Draft will not feature any current active Major League players. As there are not even a token number of actual Major League players in the base set (Bowman Draft is not licensed by the MLBPA), none of the cards fit the traditional definition of a "Rookie Card" and none bear the MLB-approved RC "icon."
[[2025 Topps Allen & Ginter]] is a 350-card set, released the week of December 3rd. Each 24-pack Hobby box will include two (down from the usual three) of the following: Autographs, Relics, Rip Cards, Printing Plates or A&G Originals.  Also, for the first time, Hobby boxes will not come with an oversized box topper.
</div>


For the first time since this product's inception as "Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects" in 2000, only players who were selected in the 2015 MLB Draft will be included -- in other words, all draft picks and no "prospects."
<div style = "class">
[[2025 National Treasures]] was released by Panini November 19th. As usual, every card is autographed and/or a memorabilia card serial-numbered to 99 copies or fewer.
</div>


Each Hobby box will yield one autograph, with Jumbo boxes having three autos and Super Jumbos five. Exclusive parallels were inserted into packs distributed to the Asian-Pacific market.
<div style = "class">
[[2025 Topps Update]] is a 350-card set released November 12th. You know the deal.
</div>


31 of the 35 players selected in the first round of the 2015 MLB Draft have signed autographs for 2015 Bowman Draft including first overall pick Dansby Swanson. This marks the first time since 2004 that the number one overall pick in the draft has an autograph in that year's Bowman Draft/Draft Picks & Prospects.  
<div style = "class">
[[2025 Topps Pro Debut]] is a 200-card Minor League set released November 12th. Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield four autographs.
</div>

[[2025 Topps Diamond Icons]] is a 100-card set released October 22nd.  As usual, each eleven-card box will contain: one Relic, seven autographs, and a pair of autographed Relics.  Every other box will yield a cut signature.  All cards are serial-numbered to 25 copies or fewer.


[[2015 Panini Contenders]] is a 99-card set, released November 11th, 2015. As with all other Panini products, it is not licensed by Major League Baseball, and as such, none of the cards are considered "true" rookies. However, the set is licensed by the Collegiate Licensing Corporation (CLC) and USA Baseball and features players, primarily, in their college uniforms.
New for 2025 is a base set, with each box containing either a base card, or a parallel.
 
Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield six autographs with every third box yielding a seventh autograph. Every 12-box case will contain two autographs of Kyle Schwarber, Corey Seager and Yoan Moncada.

[[2015 Topps Chrome Update]] is a 50-card set released exclusively to Target stores starting the first week of November. Each $14.99 "Mega" box contains five packs of [[2015 Topps Update]] and two packs of four 2015 Topps Chrome Update cards. Unlike last year, this set is skip-numbered using the same sequential numbers from the Topps Update set.
[[2025 Panini Three & Two]] is a 150-card set released October 1st. Each five-card box will contain the following:


Interestingly, each card (base, parallel, insert, and game used) has a "Speckled" Refractor sheen.  
* Three base, parallel, or insert cards, serial-numbered to 99 copies or fewer.

<div style = "class">
[[2015 Topps Heritage '51]] is a 104-card boxed set released October 28th. As the name implies, the set is based on the design of the 1951 Topps set, which was skipped over in favor of the more famous 1952 set when the Heritage brand was established in 2001. Not counting the "update" style Heritage High Numbers sets of 2012-14, this is the first Heritage set released in this form.
[[2025 Bowman Chrome]] was released September 24th with a 100-card base set supplemented by a 100-card Prospects set. Each 12-pack Hobby box will yield a pair of autographs.  Breaker's Delight boxes contain three autographs.
