[[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.

[[1987 Donruss The Rookies]] is a 56-card boxed set released exclusively to Hobby dealers in a small green and black box.  The design on the set is identical to the [[1987 Donruss]] regular issue except for the presence of "The Rookies" logo in the lower left corner and a green border instead of a black border. Each set also came packaged with a 15-piece miniature version of the Roberto Clemente puzzle.
+
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.
−
 
 
−
The key XRCs in this set are Ellis Burks and Matt Williams. The second Donruss-issued cards of Greg Maddux and Rafael Palmeiro are also in this set. Much like with the Wally Joyner in the [[1986 Donruss The Rookies | '86 set,]] the Mark McGwire card is quite condition sensitive due to it being the first card in the set.

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.

Just Released

2024 Topps Chrome Black is a 100-card set released April 17th. Each four-card box will yield two base cards, one Refractor parallel serial-numbered to 199 copies or fewer, and one autograph.

2024 Topps Heritage is a 500 card set. In keeping with the brand's aesthetic, the design is based on the 1975 Topps set.

The first 500 cards were issued as part of the Heritage Series and was released April 10th. Each Hobby box will, as usual, yield a relic, an autograph or an autographed relic.

2024 Topps Sterling was released April 3rd. Each two-card box contains two autographed game-used cards serial-numbered to 25 copies or less with every fourth box yielding a one-of-one.

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.

2023-24 Topps Transcendent was released March 27th, 2024. Each box contains ten packs of four cards. Each box will also contain the following:

  • 20 Gold Framed Autographs –- all serial-numbered to 20 copies or fewer, two of which are ones-of-one.
  • Ten Autographed Patch cards.
  • Ten Rookie Showcase Autographs or Rookie Showcase Autographed Patch cards.
  • One, one-of-one Through the Years Autograph.
  • One, one-of-one 1959 Autographed SuperFractor.
  • One, one-of-one Jumbo Autographed Patch Book card.
  • One, one-of-one Oversized Cut Signature.
  • One invitation to a VIP meet-and-greet.

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.

2023 Bowman Inception is a 100-card set released exclusively to Hobby outlets March 22rd, 2024. Each seven-card box will contain four base cards, two parallels, and an autograph.

2023 Topps Five Star was released February 21st, 2024. All cards are autographed, and each box will contain two.

2024 Topps Series One is a 350-card set issued the week of February 14th. 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."

2023 Topps Luminaries was released February 7th, 2024. Each box contains one autographed card serial-numbered to fifteen copies or fewer.

2023 Topps Diamond Icons was released January 31st, 2024. As usual, each ten-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.

2023 Panini Flawless is an 40-card set released February 7th, 2024. Each ten-card box will yield one jewel-encrusted base card or parallel serial-numbered to 20 copies or fewer, two game-used cards, and seven autographs.

2023 Stadium Club is a 300-card set released January 24, 2024. Stadium Club was originally scheduled for release on October 18th, but was delayed three months. Each Hobby box will yield a pair of autographs, an oversized boxloader, and a Chrome parallel.
