Set of the Month
1993 Donruss is a 792-card set issued in two series of 396 cards -- the largest Donruss Baseball set to date. Player selection in the second series is weighted heavily towards the two expansion franchises that made their debut in '93: The Colorado Rockies and Florida Marlins. A Rated Rookies (RR) subset, scattered throughout the set, spotlights 20 young prospects. There are no key Rookie Cards in this set.

A limited number of 1st Edition packs will also be distributed to Hobby dealers and group breakers. 1st Edition packs are being produced and distributed in the same Florida facility that handles Topps' other online-exclusive cards (e.g. Topps Now, Topps On-Demand, Throwback Thursday, et al) which remains open. 2020 Topps Definitive Collection was released April 24th.

At present time, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the date and location of the VIP Experience has yet to be announced. 2020 Topps Tribute was released April 10th. The 2020 edition of Tribute was originally scheduled for release April 3rd, back to it's traditional Opening Day release after last year's set was delayed until August.

As usual, each three-card pack will include either an autograph or a Relic with half of packs yielding a Relic and half either an autograph or an autographed Relic. Two of the Relics in each Hobby box will b multi-swatch.

Each Hobby box will yield three autographs/game-used cards. 2020 Topps Heritage is a 500-card set released February 26th. The last 100 cards are short-printed.
