There also will be photo variations for some cards in the base set with Green, Gold, Orange, Red and Superfractor versions as well as some standard cards dubbed as "super short prints" just like 2020. ... Inserts will include a Chromed take on 1986 Topps as well as Prismic Power, Beisbol and Future Stars cards. Each of these will have parallel rainbows that include Green, Gold, Orange, Red and Supers.

The rookie auto rainbow will include a number of Refractors -- standard (/499), Purple (/250), Aqua (/199), Blue (/150), Blue Wave (/150), Gold (/50), Gold Wave (/50), Orange (/25), Orange Wave (/25), Red (/5), Red Wave (/5) and 1/1 Superfractors and printing plates. Also found with ink will be Beisbol (/99) autos with Orange, Red, Supers and plates. Those same parallels will be found for the auto versions of the Prismic Power and 1986 Topps sets. A rare find in this one will be dual-rookie auto cards (/25) with Reds and Supers. Rounding out the hits will be Captain's Cloth Chrome Relics for past and present stars who "represent the heart and soul of their team." They will have Green, Orange, Red and Supers and there will be autographed versions (/TBD) to find as well.
