[[1993 Donruss Elite Dominators]] is a 20-card set, offered exclusively for sale on the Shop at Home television network.
[[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.


In a series of programs broadcast December 8-13, 1993, viewers were offered the opportunity to purchase a factory-sealed box of either 1993 Donruss Series One or Series Two, which included one Elite Dominator card produced especially for the promotion, shrink-wrapped directly to the box. Each box retailed for $99 plus $6 for postage and handling.
<h4>Previous Sets of the Month</h4>


5000 serial-numbered sets were produced and half of the cards for Nolan Ryan, Juan Gonzalez, Paul Molitor, and Don Mattingly were signed by the player. The entire print run of 100,000 cards were reportedly purchased by the Shop at Home network and were to be offered periodically over the network.

[[2025 Select]] was released January 14th, 2026. The 300-card base set is fractured into three levels.


As usual, there is no "base set" in the conventional sense. It's all hits all the time.
Each 12-pack Hobby box will yield twelve Prizm parallels, nine inserts, two autographs, and a game-used card.

[[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.

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


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.
Each 24-pack Hobby box will continue to yield two autographs.
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 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>


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.

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.

[[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 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.

[[2017 Panini Stars & Stripes]] is a 100-card set featuring current and former members of USA Baseball national and junior national teams. Curiously, while the set was released during the 2017 World Baseball Classic, it does not feature the 2017 USA WBC team (Topps has the WBC license).
