[[1997 Pinnacle Inside]] is a 150-card set that is probably best remember for the way it was packaged, than for the actual cards. Each 10-card "pack" was distributed inside one of 24 different collectible player soup cans. In order to open the "pack," collectors needed to use a can opener. Pinnacle-branded can openers were distributed to hobby dealers as part of a display kit which also included a Ryan Klesko card and sign.  
[[2009 Kellogg's Japan]] is a set of six "rulers" produced for the Japanese market. Each ruler measures fifteen centimeters and features lenticular printing of the player "in action." Unlike the previous two year's Kellogg's Japan sets, these "cards" do not have the Upper Deck branding.

[[2016 Finest]] is a 110-card set released May 18th. Each Hobby Master box will yield two autographs.


On April 22nd, Topps announced drastic changes in 2016 Finest's distribution.  Those Hobby dealers who pre-ordered Finest directly from Topps would have their orders honored. (Finest was solicited to Hobby dealers from November 25th, 2015 to January 13th, 2016 at a direct price of around $600 for an eight-box case.) However, reportedly due to low pre-sales, Topps would not make Finest available to Hobby distributors or to online retailers and instead would sell it directly on the Topps.com website for $99.99 a box or $799.89 for an eight-box case.

[[2024 Panini Boys of Summer]] is a 100-card set released August 28th. Each eight-card box will yield one game-used card and three autographs.
 
Much like how the [[1994 Bowman's Best|original Bowman's Best]] was conceived as a hybrid of the Bowman and Finest brands, 2015 Bowman's Best can be seen as a hybrid of [[2015 Bowman]] and [[2015 Finest]].  Each Hobby box will contain two Finest-style six-pack mini-boxes, with each mini-box yielding two autographs.

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

[[2024 Finest]] is a 300-card set released August 7th.
</div>


<div class="row">
For the first time since 1997, Finest will have a tiered base set. The first 100 cards are "Commons". Cards #101-200 are "Uncommons" and are seeded at the rate of one-per-pack. The final 100 cards are "Rare" and come one in every third pack.
[[2015 Bowman Draft]] is a 200-card set scheduled for release December 9th. For the second consecutive year Bowman Draft will not feature any current active Major League players. As there are not even a token number of actual Major League players in the base set (Bowman Draft is not licensed by the MLBPA), none of the cards fit the traditional definition of a "Rookie Card" and none bear the MLB-approved RC "icon."


For the first time since this product's inception as "Bowman Draft Picks & Prospects" in 2000, only players who were selected in the 2015 MLB Draft will be included -- in other words, all draft picks and no "prospects."
A six-pack Hobby box is expected to yield:


Each Hobby box will yield one autograph, with Jumbo boxes having three autos and Super Jumbos five. Exclusive parallels were inserted into packs distributed to the Asian-Pacific market.
* Six Uncommon base cards
 
* Two Rare base cards
31 of the 35 players selected in the first round of the 2015 MLB Draft have signed autographs for 2015 Bowman Draft including first overall pick Dansby Swanson. This marks the first time since 2004 that the number one overall pick in the draft has an autograph in that year's Bowman Draft/Draft Picks & Prospects.  
* Six Refractor parallels.
* Eight inserts
* Two Autographs.
</div>
</div>


<div class="row">
<div style = "class">
 
[[2024 Donruss]] is a 200 card set released August 5th.
[[2015 Panini Contenders]] is a 99-card set, released November 11th, 2015. As with all other Panini products, it is not licensed by Major League Baseball, and as such, none of the cards are considered "true" rookies. However, the set is licensed by the Collegiate Licensing Corporation (CLC) and USA Baseball and features players, primarily, in their college uniforms.
 
Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield six autographs with every third box yielding a seventh autograph. Every 12-box case will contain two autographs of Kyle Schwarber, Corey Seager and Yoan Moncada.  
</div>
</div>


<div class="row">
<div style = "class">
[[2015 Topps Chrome Update]] is a 50-card set released exclusively to Target stores starting the first week of November. Each $14.99 "Mega" box contains five packs of [[2015 Topps Update]] and two packs of four 2015 Topps Chrome Update cards. Unlike last year, this set is skip-numbered using the same sequential numbers from the Topps Update set.
[[2024 Topps Museum Collection]] is a 100-card set to be released July 31st.  As usual each five-card pack will contain one autograph or game-used Relic. Each four pack Hobby box will yield the following:


Interestingly, each card (base, parallel, insert, and game used) has a "Speckled" Refractor sheen.
* Four parallels
* One insert
* Two Relics (one of which is a Quad Relic)
* One Autograph
* One Autographed Relic

[[2015 Topps Heritage '51]] is a 104-card boxed set released October 28th. As the name implies, the set is based on the design of the 1951 Topps set, which was skipped over in favor of the more famous 1952 set when the Heritage brand was established in 2001. Not counting the "update" style Heritage High Numbers sets of 2012-14, this is the first Heritage set released in this form.
<div style="background:#f7d4e0; font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; border:1px solid #ccc; text-align:left; padding:0.2em 0.4em;">Newest Pages</div>
Each boxed set will include the full 104-card base set, 21 parallels, and an autograph.

<div class="row">
[[2015 Topps Update]] was released October 21st.  At 400 cards, it will be the largest "Traded" set since [[2002 Fleer Tradition Update]].  Each 36-pack Hobby box will continue to yield either an autograph or a Relic card while Hobby-exclusive Jumbo boxes will come with an autograph, a Relic, and a manufactured "Relic."

Set of the Month

2009 Kellogg's Japan is a set of six "rulers" produced for the Japanese market. Each ruler measures fifteen centimeters and features lenticular printing of the player "in action." Unlike the previous two year's Kellogg's Japan sets, these "cards" do not have the Upper Deck branding.

Previous Sets of the Month
