What is known so far, is that there will be two parallels and one hit per seven-card box.

Update (Nov. 14): Cases will guarantee four patch autos, one Silver Signings auto and one jumbo patch or jumbo hat patch card. ... Each box will include two parallels atop the hit with the remaining four cards being base cards from a 125-card set. Parallels will include Green ("limited"), Purple (/150), Magenta (/99), Red (/75), Orange (/50), Blue (/25) and Inception 1/1s just like previous years. ... Autographs will once again focus on rookies and "emerging stars" with Green (/125) Magenta, Red, Orange, Blue and Inception parallels with the same numbering as base parallels. Joining them will be Inception Silver Signings (/TBD) with Gold-ink (/25) and 1/1 Gold-ink Inception parallels on those. Also in there will be Inception Dawn of Greatness autos looking back at rookie years of several notable players (/20) with Orange (/10), Blue (/5) and 1/1 Inception versions. ... There also will be short-printed variation autos limited to only 10 copies like the 2022 release. New this time will be dual-auto cards (/25 max) with Blue (/5)  and 1/1 Inception parallels as well as triple-auto cards (/10 max) with the same parallels to chase.

On the auto-Relic front, there will be patches (/TBD) that also will have Green (/99 max), Magenta (/75 max), Red (/25), Orange (/10), Blue (/6, buttons) and Inception 1/1s using the jersey-maker logos. There also will be jumbo patch autos one per case with Red (/50), Orange (/25), Blue (/10) and 1/1 Inception (team logo patch for the 1/1). Joining them will be team autographed logo patch books (/2) and GameDay Gear auto Relic books (/5) with patches, socks, batting gloves and caps. They will have a 1/1 parallel. There also will be batting glove Relics (/25) with 1/1 strap and logo parallels. Hats patches will have team logos (/5), New Era logos (/5) and MLB logo (/5) versions. Rarer autograph finds in this one will be team logo patch books (/2), laundry tag books (1/1) and MLB logo books (1/1) just like last year along with letter book cards (/2). ...
