Set of the Month 1992 Leaf is a 528-card set, produced by Donruss, issued in two separate 264-card series. Each pack contained one Black Gold parallel card. In addition, Donruss produced 5000 factory sets distributed in custom cherrywood boxes. In addition to the 528 base cards, these sets contained eight Black Gold parallels. Unfortunately, unlike other "premium" factory sets of the era (i.e. Topps Tiffany), the Leaf factory set cards are not marked as being from a special premium set nor are they printed on upgraded cardstock. It's just a regular Leaf base set in fancy packaging.

Just released 2015 Finest is a 111-card set released the week of June 10. For the first time in five years, the base set will feature short-printed base cards and each six-pack mini box will yield an autograph. 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. 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. 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. 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. Each three-card box will contain two autographs and one Relic. All cards are serial-numbered to 399 copies or less. 2015 Panini Prizm is a 200-card set released May 13, 2015. Each 12-pack Hobby box is expected to yield 2 autographs, 9 Prizm parallels (3 of which will be serial-numbered), and 6 inserts. 2015 Bowman is a 150-card set supplemented by a 150-card Prospects "insert" set, tentatively scheduled for release April 29th. It was announced that the 2015 Las Vegas Industry Summit that, for the first time since 1999, Bowman will be released in two series. However, Topps has made any indication that this product will be marketed as a "first series." Each Hobby box will contain at least one autograph and each Jumbo box three. 2015 Diamond Kings was released by Panini April, 29th. This is the first Diamond Kings product since 2005 Diamond Kings, and is structured similarly. Also, this is first card set released by Panini/Donruss-Playoff since 2005 to feature Babe Ruth. Each 12-pack Hobby box will yield two framed and serial-numbered parallels and two autographed game-used cards. Please note that, as of the product's street date, Panini has yet to issue a final checklist for this product. 2015 Topps Gypsy Queen is a 350-card set released on April 15th, 2015. As with previous year's versions of the product, the last 50 cards in the base set are short-printed. Each pack will contain one mini-sized parallel and each 24-pack Hobby box is expected to yield two autographs and two Relic cards. Each Hobby box will come packed with a special 10-card box containing exclusive mini-sized variation cards. 2015 Panini Stars & Stripes is a 100-card USA Baseball-licensed set released April 10, 2015. The set features current prospects and minor leaguers in their USA Baseball uniforms. Each 24-pack Hobby box should yield four autographs/game-used cards. 2015 Topps Museum Collection is a 100-card set released April 10. Each pack will contain either an autograph or a relic. Each four-pack box will yield the following: A Canvas Collection insert; A Jumbo Relic; A Quad Relic; An Autograph, and; An Autographed Relic 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. 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. 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. It is currently unclear what (if anything) Topps plans on doing with the recalled 2015 Topps Tribute base cards, parallels, or Relics. 2015 Topps Opening Day is a 200-card set released March 18, 2015. As usual, the base set is a stripped down rendition of the 2015 Topps flagship set. Each pack will contain one insert. 2015 Donruss is a 245-card set released on March 11. With a bizzare design loosely based on the 1985 Donruss and 1987 Donruss sets, each 24-pack Hobby box will yield at least one autograph and two game-used memorabilia cards. 95 base cards are short-printed with the final 50 cards done in the style of the 1981 Donruss set. 2015 Topps Stickers were released on March 4, 2015. Each packet contains eight stickers and fifty packets come inside a retail box. The complete set consists of 301 stickers, which includes 236 current players, 19 retired players, 16 team mascots and a team logo sticker for every team. The 32-page album comes with 6 stickers. 2015 Topps Heritage, released during the first week of March 2015, is a 500-card set. This year's set, the fifteenth, is based on the 1966 Topps set. 2015 Topps Series One was released in the first week of February 2015. Similar to previous years, 2015 Topps Series One is distributed in various packaging formats: Hobby box, hobby jumbo box, retail box, retail rack packs, retail blasters and retail hanger boxes. Each hobby box promises one relic or auto while each hobby jumbo box promises one auto and two relics. When it comes to design, variety, configuration, card details, etc..... some collectors think 2015 Topps is one of the strongest flagship offerings in years. 2014 Panini Elite Extra Edition is a 95-card set supplemented by a 98-card "Prospects" set, that was released January 7, 2015. Each 20-pack Hobby box will yield six autographs and a USA Baseball jersey card.
