Each Update Series card is autographed and serial-numbered to 185 copies.  
[[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.

[[2016 Triple Threads]] is a 100-card set originally scheduled for release September 14th, 2016, but was recalled due to undisclosed "packaging issues" and eventually released two weeks late on September 28th.
<div style = "class">
[[2026 Topps Heritage]] is a 400-card set. In keeping with the brand's aesthetic, the design is based on the 1977 Topps set. Although the base set was reduced to only 400 cards, there are still 100 short-prints -- which are scattered through out the set, rather than concentrated towards the end.


As usual, each seven-card Hobby pack will contain three base cards, two parallels, one triple Relic card serial-numbered to 36 copies or fewer, and an autograph serial-numbered to 99 copies or fewer.
Each Hobby box, which has four fewer packs, will yield an autograph, relic, or autographed relic.
</div>

<div class="row">


[[2016 Topps Heritage Minor League]] is a 215-card Minor League released September 28th. Each 18-pack box will yield one autograph and one Relic card.
<div style = "class">
[[2025-26 Bowman's Best]] was released March 11th, 2026 and consists of a 70-card base set supplemented by a 30-card Prospects set. Each pack will yield one Refractor parallel, and each 12-pack Hobby box will have four autographs.
 
Due to the late release of this product, BCP does not consider it a "2025" set for rookie card purposes.
</div>
</div>


<div class="row">
<div style = "class">

</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
[[2016 Topps Archives Signature Series All-Star Edition]] was released exclusively to Hobby outlets August 30th, 2016. As with the [[2015 Topps Archives Signature Series|previous year's product,]] each box contains one encased autographed buyback card which is stamped as coming from this product and serial-numbered.


Rather than the plastic "slabs" Topps had used in the past (in brands like Topps Tribute and eTopps), each card is encased in an off-the-shelf BCW Mini Snap magnetic holder with a sticker sealing it shut. Since One Touch holders can only fit standard-sized (2 1/2" X 3 1/2") cards, all pre-1957 Topps cards (which measure 2 5/8" X 3 3/4") used in this product are encased in top-loaders.  
<div style = "class">
 
[[2025 Stadium Club]] is a 200-card set released February 18th, 2026. Each Hobby box will yield an autograph.
As the subtitle of the product's name suggests, each player was at one point in their career an All-Star.  New for 2016 are multi-player autographs and autographed game-used Relic cards.
 
There appears to be a significant number deceased players -- some dead for over a decade.  It is unclear how Topps acquired these cards (i.e. whether these players signed for Topps before their death, or if these autographs were purchased by Topps from third-parties).
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
[[2016 Bowman Platinum]] is a 100-card set, supplemented by a 110-card Top Prospects set, scheduled for release August 24th. Bowman Platinum is returning after a one year hiatus and will be available exclusively at Walmart stores.

[[2025 Topps Museum Collection]] is a 100-card set released February 6th, 2026. After years of having four packs in a Hobby box, Topps changed the format of Museum Collection to a one-pack-per box product -- not unlike Tier One, Diamond Icons, and other "hit" oriented products.

Just Released

2026 Topps Heritage is a 400-card set. In keeping with the brand's aesthetic, the design is based on the 1977 Topps set. Although the base set was reduced to only 400 cards, there are still 100 short-prints -- which are scattered through out the set, rather than concentrated towards the end.

Each Hobby box, which has four fewer packs, will yield an autograph, relic, or autographed relic.

2025-26 Bowman's Best was released March 11th, 2026 and consists of a 70-card base set supplemented by a 30-card Prospects set. Each pack will yield one Refractor parallel, and each 12-pack Hobby box will have four autographs.

Due to the late release of this product, BCP does not consider it a "2025" set for rookie card purposes.

As usual, each 20-pack Hobby box will yield either an autograph or a Relic card while Hobby-exclusive jumbo boxes will yield an autograph, a game-used Relic -- down from the previous year's two.

2025 Topps Museum Collection is a 100-card set released February 6th, 2026. After years of having four packs in a Hobby box, Topps changed the format of Museum Collection to a one-pack-per box product -- not unlike Tier One, Diamond Icons, and other "hit" oriented products.
