[[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.  
[[1966 Bazooka]] is a 48-card set printed in three-card panels on the sides of boxes of Bazooka gum. Each cut-out card measures 1 9/16" X 2 1/2", while three-card panels measure 2 1/2" X 4 11/16". Uncut panels and whole boxes command a premium over cut-out single cards.
 
The design is identical to the previous year's set, with the exception of the cards being sequentially-numbered "NO. X of 48 CARDS" on the front.

[[2016 Topps Archives]] is a 310-card set, released June 1st. As has been this brand's trademark, one third of the base set is done in the style of the 1953 Topps set, one third as 1979 Topps, and the final third 1991 Topps.


For the second consecutive year, Archives was solicited as a 300 card base set without short-prints, only for Topps to deliver a final product with ten SPed base cards -- 20 fewer SPs than the previous year's set.

[[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 Topps Archives]] is a 300-card set released the week of January 8th, 2025. This year's set replicates the 1961, 1970, and 1994 Topps designs.


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.
Each 24-pack Hobby box will continue to yield two autographs.

<div class="row">
<div style = "class">
[[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."
[[2024 Triple Threads]] was released December 19th.  This is the return of the Triple Threads brand after a one-year hiatus; however, much of the brand is structured the same.  Each seven-card Hobby pack will contain three base cards, one short-printed base card, one parallel serial-numbered to 199 copies or fewer, one Relic card serial-numbered to 36 copies or fewer, and either an autograph or autographed relic serial-numbered to 99 copies or fewer.


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."
The base set was doubled in size to 200 cards, however all 100 of those additional cards are short-printed with 50 rookies and 50 retired players scattered throughout the set. Each pack will contain one SP.
 
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.
 
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.
</div>
 
<div class="row">
 
[[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 Bowman Draft]] is a 200-card set released December 4th. Each Hobby only Jumbo box will contain three autographs, 24 Refractors, and eleven inserts, while Super Jumbo boxes will yield five signatures, 40 Refractors, and ten inserts.
 
Interestingly, each card (base, parallel, insert, and game used) has a "Speckled" Refractor sheen.

Set of the Month

1966 Bazooka is a 48-card set printed in three-card panels on the sides of boxes of Bazooka gum. Each cut-out card measures 1 9/16" X 2 1/2", while three-card panels measure 2 1/2" X 4 11/16". Uncut panels and whole boxes command a premium over cut-out single cards.

The design is identical to the previous year's set, with the exception of the cards being sequentially-numbered "NO. X of 48 CARDS" on the front.
