[[2004 Upper Deck Vintage]] is a 500-card set release in two series. The first 450 cards were issued as part of the Vintage series on February 02, 2004. The final 150 cards in the Vintage series (cards #301-#450) are short-printed and seeded into packs at varying levels.
[[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.
 
<h4>Previous Sets of the Month</h4>


The last 50 cards in the set (cards #451-#500) are known as the Update Series and were distributed exclusively as a factory set inside Hobby boxes of 2004 Upper Deck Series Two. Each Series Two Hobby box came with an unmarked and shrink-wrapped Update Set box from one of four possible 2004 Upper Deck early-season products: Vintage, Reflections, Play Ball, and SP Game Used Patch. Collectors had to break the shrink wrap to figure out which set they received; however, about two-thirds of the sets were Vintage.

[[2019 Topps Series One]] is a 350-card set released January 30th -- although packs began showing up at mass market retail outlets a week earlier. This year's flagship has as its theme a celebration of Professional Baseball's 150th Anniversary, with Anniversary-themed inserts and parallels serial-numbered to 150 copies.
[[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.


A big change to the product are the sheer number of non-parallel, non-"hit based," inserts.  While, in recent years, ''Topps Baseball'' has had a massive number of inserts, for 2019 both the size of most insert sets and the insertion ratios have been greatly increased.
Each Hobby box, which has four fewer packs, will yield an autograph, relic, or autographed relic.
 
Also notable is a reduction in the size of the standard Hobby waxbox from 36 packs to 24 -- although the number of cards in each Hobby pack was enlarged from ten to fourteen.

[[2018 Bowman's Best]] was released December 19th, 2018, and was the final product released by Topps for the year.  The base set consists of 70 cards supplemented by a 29-card "Top Prospects" subset.  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.
