The last 50 cards in the set (cards #451-#500) are known as the Update Series and were distributed exclusively as a factory set inside Hobby boxes of 2004 Upper Deck Series Two. Each Series Two Hobby box came with an unmarked and shrink-wrapped Update Set box from one of four possible 2004 Upper Deck early-season products: Vintage, Reflections, Play Ball, and SP Game Used Patch. Collectors had to break the shrink wrap to figure out which set they received; however, about two-thirds of the sets were Vintage.

[[2012 Topps Archives]], a 241-card set, was released Friday, May 17, 2012.

Instead, the set will feature current stars in a variety of classic designs along with a subset based on the All-Time Fan Favorites set of the 2000s. Each 24-pack Hobby box is expected to yield two All-Time Fan Favorites autographs.

Set of the Month

2004 Upper Deck Vintage is a 500-card set release in two series. The first 450 cards were issued as part of the Vintage series on February 02, 2004. The final 150 cards in the Vintage series (cards #301-#450) are short-printed and seeded into packs at varying levels.

The last 50 cards in the set (cards #451-#500) are known as the Update Series and were distributed exclusively as a factory set inside Hobby boxes of 2004 Upper Deck Series Two. Each Series Two Hobby box came with an unmarked and shrink-wrapped Update Set box from one of four possible 2004 Upper Deck early-season products: Vintage, Reflections, Play Ball, and SP Game Used Patch. Collectors had to break the shrink wrap to figure out which set they received; however, about two-thirds of the sets were Vintage.

We estimate that 1000 cases were produced. While this is more than double the previous year's product, the number of boxes in a case was cut in half from eight to four, leading to an overall slight production increase.

2023 Panini Elite Extra Edition was released March 27th, 2024. As usual, the product focuses on recent draft picks and prospects, and can be seen as Panini's answer to Bowman Draft.

Each five-pack Hobby box will yield two game-used memorabilia cards and eight autographs.

2024 Topps Big League is a 310-card set released March 27th. The base set is tiered into five levels, with the scarcest ten-card Legendary tier packed out as case hits.

Each eight-card pack will yield one tiered base card and an insert.

2024 Topps Tribute was released March 27th. As usual, each three-card pack will include either an autograph or a Relic with half of packs yielding a Relic and half either an autograph or an autographed Relic. Two of the Relics in each Hobby box will be multi-swatch.

2023-24 Topps Dynasty was released March 22nd, 2024. As usual, each box will contain an encased autographed patch card serial-numbered to ten or fewer.

Because this product was released so far into 2024 -- almost a full month after 2024 Topps Series One -- BCP does not consider it a "2023" product.
