[[2009 O-Pee-Chee]] is a 600-card set produced by Upper Deck and released in June, 2009. Originally, each pack was to have included a parallel based on the design of the 1971 O-Pee-Chee set, which in-turn, was based on 1971 Topps. However, Topps sued for copyright infringement and won an injunction against UD, which forced them to change the set's design.  
+
[[1993 Cardtoons]] is a 95-card parody set intended for release in 1993, but not issued until over a year later. This completely unlicensed set uses cartoon caricatures on its fronts to parody then-active MLB players. The backs carry comical "career highlights" within silver-colored panels on the left sides and team logo caricatures on the right sides.
  
 +
This product was the subject of a seven-year long court battle between the producers and the MLB Players Association -- a case eventually won by Cardtoons.

[[2015 Bowman's Best]] is a 100-card set supplemented with a 50-card Top Prospects insert, scheduled for release exclusively to Hobby outlets December 23rd.  This marks the return of Bowman's Best after a eight year hiatus.
 
 
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.

[[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."
+
[[2018 Topps Inception]] is a 100-card set released exclusively to Hobby outlets on June 27th. Each seven-card box will contain four base cards, two parallels, and an autograph.
  
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."
+
Originally, Inception was scheduled for a late March release; but Topps pushed it back three months.  Curiously, Shohei Ohtani does NOT have a Rookie Card in the product -- although he does have a few autographs.
 
 
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.

[[2015 Panini Contenders]] is a 99-card set, released November 11th, 2015.

However, the set is licensed by the Collegiate Licensing Corporation (CLC) and USA Baseball and features players, primarily, in their college uniforms.
+
[[2018 Topps Series Two]] was released June 13th.

[[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.
+
[[2018 Topps Pro Debut]] is a 200-card Minor League set released May 30th. Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield two Relics and two autographs.

+
[[2018 Topps Tier One]] was released May 23rd -- delayed one week from its original street dateAs usual, all cards are either autographs or relics and there is no base set in the traditional sense.  Each three-card box will contain two autographs and a relic.

Set of the Month

1993 Cardtoons is a 95-card parody set intended for release in 1993, but not issued until over a year later. This completely unlicensed set uses cartoon caricatures on its fronts to parody then-active MLB players. The backs carry comical "career highlights" within silver-colored panels on the left sides and team logo caricatures on the right sides.

This product was the subject of a seven-year long court battle between the producers and the MLB Players Association -- a case eventually won by Cardtoons.
