The first series will consist of 220 cards, each stamped with a "Pro Debut" logo, on the same design of Topps' Major League flagship. Each 24-pack, eight card, Hobby box should yield two autographed cards, one relic card numbered to 99 or less, and up to 8 serial-numbered parallels. 95px 2010 Topps Finest, exclusive to Hobby outlets, was released on March 25, 2010.

File:2010toppsheritage-small.png 2010 Topps Heritage is the tenth year for the popular brand and was released February 23, 2010. The 500-card base set is based on the 1961 Topps design, and will have 75 short-prints. On average, each hobby box will yield an on-card autograph or a relic; either a three-card advertising strip or a stamp album; and every-other box will contain a foil-stamped 1961 buyback. Once again, each pack will include one individually-wrapped stick of gum. 95px 2010 Upper Deck, which arrived in retail stores the first week of February, is Upper Deck's third baseball set released without a license from Major League Baseball Properties (MLBP) in 2010. Team nicknames and logos (except on uniforms) do not appear anywhere on these cards due them being unlicensed by the MLBP. This set consists of 600 base cards and a number of new inserts; Portraits, Season Biography, Tape Measure Shots, All World, Pure Heat and a few more. 95px 2010 Topps Series 1, which arrived in retail stores on January 20, 2009, contains a 330-card base set, one autograph or relic card in every 36-pack hobby box or one autograph and two relics per 10-pack HTA jumbo box.

Featured article 75px 1995 Topps Dimension III, released by Topps in October 1995, was a "three-dimensional" lenticular set consisting of 59 cards. "D3," as it has come to be known, was not well received by The Hobby and is considered one of Topps' biggest flops of the era.
