[[1999 E-X Century]] was produced by Fleer/Skybox and was a 120-card set distributed exclusively to Hobby outlets. For a fourth consecutive year, this brand continued its theme of depth on a card through the use of multiple card stock layers. Similar to the previous year's set, acetate was the foundation for each base card: The "top" layer featured the player photo over a colored holographic crescent that accented the player's team colors. This layer was embedded in the the transparent, uncolored "bottom" acetate layer, which featured the player nameplate and position in silver holographic foil, his team's logo, and the "E-X Century" logo in etched foil; additionally, this same layer of acetate also featured a shadow of the player's nameplate and an enlarged shadow of the player's team logo that was offset to create the illusion of a 3-D effect on the acetate. Due to the majority of the card being acetate, the card back was a non-holographic mirror image of the front.
[[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 set contained a 30-card Rookie short-printed subset (91-120) that was inserted at a rate of 1:2 packs. The only notable Rookie Card in the set was of Pat Burrell.

The numbering of the base set was subjectively arranged to have top current stars in the game featured first in the set, semi-stars next, minor-stars after, and the young stars featured last - this arrangement was key to the serial-numbering rationale for the Essential Credentials parallel sets.

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.

2025 Topps Gilded Collection is a 200-card Chrome stock set. All base cards are serial-numbered to 99 copies. Each five card box will yield two autographs.
