[[2007 SP Authentic]] is a 162-card set released by Upper Deck on November 20, 2007. The By The Letter autographed manufactured letter patches that debuted in the previous year's product return, this time as part of the base set. Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield two By The Letter cards.

[[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.
 
 
In addition, a series of unannounced "gimmick" cards of Alex Rodriguez were randomly inserted into packs without prior notice -- although mostly received by The Hobby with ambivalence.  
 
  
 +
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.

Originally, Inception was scheduled for a late March release; but Topps pushed it back three monthsCuriously, Shohei Ohtani does NOT have a Rookie Card in the product -- although he does have a few autographs.
 
 
On April 22nd, Topps announced drastic changes in 2016 Finest's distributionThose 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.

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.
