Randomly seeded "Hot Boxes" will yield five autographs, or one serial-numbered parallel per pack.

"First off the Line" boxes were made available exclusively through paniniamerica.net. These boxes contain three autographed per box (one of which will be serial-numbered to 35 copies or fewer), a Pandora parallel serial-numbered to 99 in each pack, and a Cracked Ice parallel serial-numbered to seven per box.

2020 Topps Sterling was released July 22nd. It is the first Topps Sterling set in ten years. Each two-card box contains two autographed game-used cards serial-numbered to 25 copies or less. Unlike previous iterations of this product, there is no base set. Every fourth box will yield a one-of-one.

We estimate 880 eight-box Hobby cases were produced.

2020 Absolute is a 166-card set released by Panini July 10th. This is the first Absolute set in fifteen years, when it was issued by Panini's predecessor Donruss-Playoff.

Each ten-card Hobby pack will yield four base cards, one parallel, two inserts, one memorabilia card, and two autographs.

2020 Topps is a 700-card set released in two equal series of 350 cards. Series One was issued the week of February 5th, 2020 while the second series came out June 26th.

As usual, each 24-pack Hobby box will yield either an autograph or a Relic card while Hobby-exclusive jumbo boxes will yield an autograph, a game-used Relic, and a manufactured "relic."
