The Basics: A number of card types can be found here as case hits like past years. This time it's Definitive autos, Legendary autos, framed autos, autographed patch books, framed auto patches, Definitive Patch Collection, cut autos, nameplate cards and helmet cards like past years. The basic autos will include Definitive Autograph Collection cards for veterans, rookies and retired greats (/50 max) with 1/1 Red parallels and they will be joined by Legendary Autograph Collection cards for legends (/25 max) with Purples (/5) in the rainbow. There also will be Definitive Rookie Autographs (/50) with Green (/25), Purple (/10) and 1/1 Red versions. Also in play will be framed autos (/30) with Purple and Red versions same volumes. Also to be found will be dual autos (/35 max) that will have Green (/10), Purple (/5) and 1/1 Reds. Along with those, there will be Defining Trios (/25 max) and Defining Images autos (/25 max) with Green, Purple and Red versions. Cut autographs also will be in the mix and be 1/1 creations.

On the auto-Relic side there will once again be basic auto Relics (/50 max) also having Green (/25) and Purple (/10) parallels and five different 1/1 Red cards to chase for each player -- team logo, MLB logo, brand logo, jersey button and laundry tag cards just like previous years. There also will be auto patch books (/5) with 1/1 Red versions. The Definitive Dual Auto Relics (/35 max) will have Purple (/5) and Red parallels, while Definitive auto Relics (/40 max) with the same parallels will be found. There also will be duals at 35 copies with the Purples at 10 and Reds, too. Framed auto patches (/30) are also back with Purple and Red parallels, while Definitive Autographed Ultra Patch Collection cards (/TBD) will use large jersey numbers, nameplate patches and team patches across a number of cards. The Protectors at the Plate cards (/5) also are back and will use shin guards, elbow pads and more with only 1/1 parallels for the signed versions.

Rounding things out on the memorabilia-only side will be the standard Relics (/50) with Blue (/30), Green (/15), Purple (/5) and 1/1 Red versions just like this year, while there also will be Protectors at the Plate cards (no autos, /25) with Green (/10), Purple (/5) and 1/1 Reds. There also will be Helmet Collection cards (/50 max), with Purple (/5) and 1/1 cards -- MLB logos, Rawlings tags, Rawlings logos and MPH versions just like in past years. There also will be Nameplate Collection 1/1s for 50 players as well as Definitive Patch 1/1s to be found for 75 players.
