For collectors craving a hit of ’90s baseball nostalgia, cracking open a 1995 Topps Traded and Rookies hobby box is like stepping into a time machine. This 165 card set, released exclusively in foil packs, offers a mix of rookies, traded players, and All-Stars that capture the essence of the 1995 MLB season. This release comes from a time before inserts and hits were the focus of a release, so if you’re looking for something besides base cards, this probably isn’t the set for you.
A box features 36 packs with 11 cards per pack, for a whopping 396 cards expected per box. That’s quite a bit when considering the 165 card set for this release. No hits or other inserts are guaranteed with the box, but it does mention the possibility of Power Booster cards, which are enhanced versions of the first ten cards in the set.

Sporting a 200 card base set, 2024 Topps Holiday Baseball mirrors the sleek design of the 2024 Topps flagship releases but decks the halls with neon stockings, Santa Claus, wreaths, elves, and plenty of snow and holly flair. The set features top MLB stars, rookies, and legends, with a quarter of the base cards (50 players) boasting short-print Holiday Image Variations—think candy cane bats and Santa hats. These variations can be spotted via the CMP code on the back (check the last three digits) or by hunting for those festive accessories.
A box advertises 10 packs with 10 cards per pack. There are no guaranteed hits, but each box includes a Holiday Ornament card.
The 2024 Topps 206 baseball card set revives the iconic T206 tobacco card style with a modern twist, launching exclusively on topps.com on October 3rd. This year’s edition features a 300-card base set, all in the nostalgic mini format, celebrating both current stars and legends of the game. Collectors can chase unique parallels like the Piedmont, Polar Bear, and American Beauty backs, with autographs landing every fourth box. Notable inserts include 1910 T210.
Boxes come with four 10-card packs, promising a blend of nostalgia and new collectibles to storm the trading card scene. This set captures the essence of baseball’s rich history, appealing to both seasoned collectors and newcomers alike.
Series 2 continues the flagship release for Topps. This release features cards 351-700 in the base set, while also continuing many of the insert sets from the first series. The Golden Mirror SSP continues with an SSP for every card in the release. There are also a few alternate rookie SSPs at the end of the set, including one paying special tribute to the famous Billy Ripken card from 1989 Fleer.
These releases are getting smaller while maintaining a fairly high price. It used to be you could count on getting a complete base set out of a jumbo box, but that is no longer the case. The box advertises 10 packs with 40 cards per pack. Each box also includes 1 autograph and 2 relic cards.
