[[1994 Upper Deck The American Epic]] is an 80-card boxed set produced in conjunction with the PBS documentary "Baseball: The American Epic," produced by Ken Burns and sponsored by GM. The set was available from leading retail stores, the QVC television network, direct mail solicitation, and the Upper Deck Authenticated catalog.
+
[[1977 Topps Cloth Stickers]] is a 55-"card" set released as a test issue. The design on the front of the card (which features a velvet-like sheen) is virtually identical to the player's 1977 Topps card -- with some exceptions. The back of each card features information on how to peel the sticker. Eleven of the 55 stickers are short-printed.
  
Like the documentary, the set is divided into "nine innings" and arranged chronologically. Three insert cards were included with the set. A Michael Jordan card was available for direct mail customers, a Babe Ruth card for retail customers and a Mickey Mantle card for QVC customers.  
+
Each pack contained two cloth stickers and one of eighteen puzzle cards. The fronts of the puzzle cards have checklist information while the backs a piece of one of two 3X3 mosaics that, when assembled, create the 1976 American and National League All-Star team pictures.

<div class="row">
[[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 Five Star]] was released October 17th. All cards are autographed, and each box will contain two.
 +
</div>
  
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."
+
<div class="row">
 +
[[2018 Topps Gold Label]] is a 300-card set released October 12th. As with the Gold Label sets of the late-90s, the set features 100 different players on three different "Class" cards: 1, 2, and 3. Unfortunately, the holo-foil plastic cardstock the brand was known for in the 90s was not used -- regular paper stock was used instead.
  
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.
+
Each box will yield one Framed Autograph.  
  
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.  
+
New for 2018 are Relics and Framed Autographed Relics.

[[2018 Panini Contenders Draft Picks]] is a 50-card set focusing on prospects and draft picks, released October 5th. Most players are depicted in their college uniforms, and is licensed by The Collegiate Licensing Company.
  
[[2015 Panini Contenders]] is a 99-card set, released November 11th, 2015. As with all other Panini products, it is not licensed by Major League Baseball, and as such, none of the cards are considered "true" rookies. However, the set is licensed by the Collegiate Licensing Corporation (CLC) and USA Baseball and features players, primarily, in their college uniforms.
+
The product does NOT have any active Major League players and as such, is not licensed by the MLB Players Association (even though Panini does have an MLBPA license).
  
Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield six autographs with every third box yielding a seventh autograph. Every 12-box case will contain two autographs of Kyle Schwarber, Corey Seager and Yoan Moncada.  
+
Each pack contains an autograph.

[[2015 Topps Chrome Update]] is a 50-card set released exclusively to Target stores starting the first week of November.

Unlike last year, this set is skip-numbered using the same sequential numbers from the Topps Update set.
+
[[2018 National Treasures]] was released by Panini September 26th. As usual, every card is autographed and/or a memorabilia card serial-numbered to 99 copies or fewer. Each eight-card box will contain one booklet card.  
 
 
Interestingly, each card (base, parallel, insert, and game used) has a "Speckled" Refractor sheen.

[[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 Heritage Minor League]] is a 220-card set released September 26th -- a month earlier than last year. Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield one relic and one autograph.  
Each boxed set will include the full 104-card base set, 21 parallels, and an autograph.

+
[[2018 Bowman High Tek]] is a 56-card set released September 12th.  All cards are printed on acetate with multiple background variations. Unlike the [[2017 Bowman High Tek|the previous year's product,]] a small selection of "true" rookie cards are included -- however, curiously, some players eligible to be RCs (e.g. Ronald Acuna, Jr. and Gleyber Torres) are still Prospects.  Each ten-card box will yield four autographs and a parallel.

Set of the Month

1977 Topps Cloth Stickers is a 55-"card" set released as a test issue. The design on the front of the card (which features a velvet-like sheen) is virtually identical to the player's 1977 Topps card -- with some exceptions. The back of each card features information on how to peel the sticker. Eleven of the 55 stickers are short-printed.

Each pack contained two cloth stickers and one of eighteen puzzle cards. The fronts of the puzzle cards have checklist information while the backs a piece of one of two 3X3 mosaics that, when assembled, create the 1976 American and National League All-Star team pictures.

Just Released

2018 Topps Five Star was released October 17th. All cards are autographed, and each box will contain two.

2018 Topps Gold Label is a 300-card set released October 12th. As with the Gold Label sets of the late-90s, the set features 100 different players on three different "Class" cards: 1, 2, and 3. Unfortunately, the holo-foil plastic cardstock the brand was known for in the 90s was not used -- regular paper stock was used instead.

Each box will yield one Framed Autograph.

New for 2018 are Relics and Framed Autographed Relics.

2018 Panini Contenders Draft Picks is a 50-card set focusing on prospects and draft picks, released October 5th. Most players are depicted in their college uniforms, and is licensed by The Collegiate Licensing Company.

The product does NOT have any active Major League players and as such, is not licensed by the MLB Players Association (even though Panini does have an MLBPA license).

Each pack contains an autograph.

2018 National Treasures was released by Panini September 26th. As usual, every card is autographed and/or a memorabilia card serial-numbered to 99 copies or fewer. Each eight-card box will contain one booklet card.

2018 Topps Heritage Minor League is a 220-card set released September 26th -- a month earlier than last year. Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield one relic and one autograph.

2018 Bowman High Tek is a 56-card set released September 12th. All cards are printed on acetate with multiple background variations. Unlike the the previous year's product, a small selection of "true" rookie cards are included -- however, curiously, some players eligible to be RCs (e.g. Ronald Acuna, Jr. and Gleyber Torres) are still Prospects. Each ten-card box will yield four autographs and a parallel.

2018 Topps Luminaries was released September 7th. Each box contains one card, an autograph serial-numbered to 15 copies or fewer.

We estimate that only 625 12-box cases will be produced -- an increase of 100 cases from the previous year's product.

2018 Topps Diamond Icons was released August 29th. Each eight-card box will contain: one Relic, seven autographs, and a pair of autographed Relics. Every other box will yield a cut signature. All cards are serial-numbered to 25 copies or fewer.
