What's buzz-worthy: Topps' new high-end brand that includes "the best of the past, present and future" is back for another season of "the ultimate pack-breaking experience" that includes top names like the guy you see above as well as cut autographs in every other box.

Keep reading for more as well as a full gallery of images.

The Basics: All cards will be limited to no more than 25 copies with a number of parallels. On the autograph front there will 75 players signing autos (/25 or less) each with Purple (/10), Red (/5) and 1/1 Gold parallels, while there will be red-ink autos (/25 or less) with Purple (/10), Red (/5) and 1/1 Gold versions. There also will be Diamond autos (/25) with the same rainbow. ... The cut auto lineup will include 100 players with those cards limited to just four copies and with a Gold 1/1 parallel. There also will be as many as 30 Immortal Cut Signatures cards, too. ... Auto Relics will include Jumbo Patches with MLB-authenticated swatches with the same rainbow, single-player auto Relics (/10), single-player dual team auto Relics (/10) as well as dual-player Dual Auto Relics (/10). These will have Red (/5) and 1/1 Gold parallels. ... On the Relic front there will be single-player cards (/10), dual books (/10), Diamond Relics (yes, your real diamonds per card), Preeminent Piece Cleat Relics (/10) with 1/1 Spike Relic parallels and MLB logo patches that are 1/1 cards. Relics will have Red (/5) and 1/1 Gold parallels. ... No preliminary checklist was released and, based on factory cost, these boxes definitely will once again be north of the $1,000 mark.
