[[1999 UD Choice]] is a 155-card, single-series, set. Even though it is labeled as "Series One" on the packaging, this was the only series as Series Two was never released.  This would be the final Collector's Choice/UD Choice set released by Upper Deck as it was replaced by [[1999 Upper Deck MVP|MVP]] as their low-price brand.

[[1992 Classic Draft Picks]] is a 125-card set featuring players selected in that year's MLB Draft. Unlike in previous years, the 1992 set was sold exclusively in pack form.


<div class="row">[[2015 Panini Cooperstown]] is a 100-card set released the week of July, 22. The brand returns after a one year absence, but is formatted similarly to the previous year's Hall of Fame 75th Anniversary product. Each 12-card box will yield two autographs. </div>
<h4>Previous Sets of the Month</h4>


<div class="row">[[2015 Topps Allen & Ginter's]] is a 350-card set, scheduled for release the week of July 22nd. This is billed as the "Tenth Anniversary" of the popular product, although this is not accurate. While 2015 is the tenth "TANG" set, Allen & Ginter's tenth anniversary will be in 2016 -- ten years after the release of 2006 Topps Allen & Ginter's. Nonetheless, there are a number of Tenth Anniversary commemorations in the 2015 edition. As usual, each 24-pack Hobby box will include three of the following: Autographs, Relics, Rip Cards, or A&G Originals.
[[1996 Denny's]] - [[1987 Fleer Limited Edition]] - [[2002 Upper Deck MVP]] - [[1996 Sportflix]] - [[2009 SP Legendary Cuts]] - [[2017 Panini Immaculate]]  - [[1997 Pinnacle Inside]] - [[1966 Bazooka]] - [[2000 FanFest]] - [[2003 Fleer Double Header]] - [[2002 SP Authentic]] - [[2007 Upper Deck Premier]] - [[1977 Hostess]] - [[2009 Kellogg's Japan]] - [[2002 Donruss Originals]] - [[1999 Topps Opening Day]] - [[2006 Upper Deck]] - [[2004 Upper Deck Vintage]] - [[1997 Bowman's Best]] - [[1999 Fleer Brilliants]] - [[1997 New Pinnacle]] - [[2004 Dodgers Fleer]] - [[1995 Topps Embossed]]  - [[2005 Topps Total]] - [[2001 Sweet Spot]] - [[1993 Donruss McDonald's Blue Jays]]
</div>
</div>


The set is notable for having the first certified autographs of Ichiro in a Topps product -- not to mention the first Ichiro Topps cards of any kind since 2012. The product will also include autographs of the cast of the Rocky films, signed in character, as well as autographs of selected 2015 NBA draft picks. Also, for the first time all 350 base cards were printed in equal quantities; however, the corresponding Mini parallels will have SPs .
<div style="background:#edf4fb;border:1px solid #ccc;padding:8px;margin-right:10px;float:left;width:57%;">


For the first time since this brand's inception, there are no retired Major League players in the product.

</div>
</div>


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

</div>
</div>


<div class="row">
<div style = "class">
[[2015 Stadium Club]] is a 300-card set, released the week of June 24th. The 2015 edition was reconfigured after the moderately successful 2014 relaunch. The dreaded mini-boxes are gone, the price point has been lowered, and the base set has been expanded by 100 cards. Each 16-pack Hobby box will yield two autographs.
[[2026 Finest]] is a 350-card set released July 8th.
</div>


<div class="row">
In a radical restructuring of the Finest brand, for the first time, Finest will be available in retail stores. Also a fourth tier was added to the base set. The first 100 cards are "Commons". Cards #101-200 are "Uncommons." The next 100 cards are "Rares" and the final fifty cards are "Ultra Rares" -- which are Hobby only.

</div>


<div class="row">
A standard six-pack Hobby box is expected to yield two Autographs.

</div>

<div class="row">
<div style = "class">
[[2015 Topps Archives]] is a 330-card set released June 10th, and based the designs of the 1957, 1976, and 1983 Topps Baseball sets. The last 30 cards are short-printed (see below). Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield two autographs.
[[2026 Donruss Elite]] is a 200-card set, released the week of July 3rd. This marks the first standalone Donruss/Panini Elite product in eleven years.


Originally, according to Topps' original product solicitations, Archives was advertised as having a 300 card base set with no short-prints. It wasn't until almost a week before the product's release, buried in the fine-print of the official checklist and long after pre-orders had been paid for by dealers and collectors, that there was any mention from Topps of the existence of any additional short-printed base cards.
Each pack will contain either an insert pr a parallel, and each 20-pack Hobby box will yield two autographs.
</div>


While in previous years, Topps Archives has had short-printed base cards, they had all been previously announced by Topps either in the product's solicitations ("sell-sheets") and/or in press releases to The Hobby media. Also, in 2012, 2013, and 2014 Topps Archives the short-prints were attainable -- usually around 40-50 SPs per set and falling at the rate of six to eight per Hobby box. According to early reports, the odds of finding one of the 30 short-printed base cards in 2015 Archives is 1:70/packs, and the estimated production of each is around 500 copies.
<div style = "class">
[[2026 Topps Tier One]] was released June 24th. A box will contain one base card or base card parallel, two autographs and a relic.
</div>

<div class="row">
<div style = "class">
[[2015 Topps Tier One]] was released exclusively to Hobby outlets May 20, 2015. As with previous iterations of this product, there is no "base set" in the conventional sense. All cards are either Relics and/or autographs.
[[2025-26 Topps Dynasty]] was released June 19th, 2026. As usual, each box will contain an encased autographed patch card serial-numbered to ten or fewer.


Each three-card box will contain two autographs and one Relic. All cards are serial-numbered to 399 copies or less.  
Because this product was released almost halfway into 2026, BCP does not consider it a "2025" product.

<div style = "class">
[[2025-26 Topps Inception]] is a 125-card set released exclusively to Hobby outlets on June 19th, 2026.  Each seven-card box will contain four base cards, two parallels, and an autograph.

[[2015 Topps Tribute]] is a 100-card set released the week of March 18th, 2015, but recalled by Topps a day later. Each pack contained one serial-numbered autographed or game-used "Relic," and it is a quality-control issue with the autographs that caused Topps to recall the product.  
[[2025-26 Topps Transcendent]] was released April 1st, 2026. Each box contains eight packs of four cards, plus ten additional cards. Each box will also contain the following:
 
Two Autographed Patch cards.
Two Autographed Relics.
Two Rookie Showcase Autographs or Rookie Showcase Autographed Patch card.
Two additional autographs.
A Jumbo, Dual, or Triple Patch card.
One additional autograph or relic card.
One SuperFractor parallel.


Shortly after the product's release, collectors began to complain that many of the autographs were coming out of the pack either scratched or smeared.  In a press release, Topps blamed the issue on "UV contamination" and announced a recall of the product.
'''NOTE:''' Due to the late release, for rookie card purposes, BaseballCardPedia does NOT consider this a "2025" release.
</div>


As part of the recall, collectors who have any remaining unopened boxes or cases of 2015 Topps Tribute have until March 27th, to return them to their local Hobby dealer for a full refund. In addition, collectors who already opened a pack of Tribute and received a damaged autograph, have until June 30th to exchange their cards with Topps for replacement.
<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.


It is currently unclear what (if anything) Topps plans on doing with the recalled 2015 Topps Tribute base cards, parallels, or Relics.
Each Hobby box, which has four fewer packs, will yield an autograph, relic, or autographed relic.

2026 Finest is a 350-card set released July 8th.

In a radical restructuring of the Finest brand, for the first time, Finest will be available in retail stores. Also a fourth tier was added to the base set. The first 100 cards are "Commons". Cards #101-200 are "Uncommons." The next 100 cards are "Rares" and the final fifty cards are "Ultra Rares" -- which are Hobby only.

A standard six-pack Hobby box is expected to yield two Autographs.

2026 Donruss Elite is a 200-card set, released the week of July 3rd. This marks the first standalone Donruss/Panini Elite product in eleven years.

Each pack will contain either an insert pr a parallel, and each 20-pack Hobby box will yield two autographs.

2025-26 Topps Dynasty was released June 19th, 2026. As usual, each box will contain an encased autographed patch card serial-numbered to ten or fewer.

Because this product was released almost halfway into 2026, BCP does not consider it a "2025" product.

2025-26 Topps Inception is a 125-card set released exclusively to Hobby outlets on June 19th, 2026. Each seven-card box will contain four base cards, two parallels, and an autograph.

Although marketed as a "2025" set, due to the late release date, BCP does not recognize this as a 2025 product for rookie card purposes.

2025-26 Topps Chrome Platinum Anniversary is a 500-card set, released June 5th, 2026. The brand returns after a one-year absence. All cards are on chrome stock and are done in the style of the 1955 Topps set.

Two Autographed Patch cards. Two Autographed Relics. Two Rookie Showcase Autographs or Rookie Showcase Autographed Patch card. Two additional autographs. A Jumbo, Dual, or Triple Patch card. One additional autograph or relic card. One SuperFractor parallel.

NOTE: Due to the late release, for rookie card purposes, BaseballCardPedia does NOT consider this a "2025" release.

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.

2026 Topps is a 700-card set released in two equal series of 350 cards. Series One was issued the week of February 13th. 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.

Each eight-card box will yield the following:

  • Three base cards
  • Two parallels
  • One Relic
  • One Autograph
  • One Autographed Relic

This is nine fewer base cards, two fewer parallels, and one fewer Relic than the previous year's product, but at the same $399.99 price.
