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

The Basics: Each box of this one will include four eight-card Transcendent Icons Chrome packs with randomly inserted Chrome autos in those. Along with the packs, there will be two autos, two patch autos, two rookie auto or rookie patch autos, two Relic autos, one jumbo/dual/triple patch and one other hit. Also in the mix will be MLB logo patch autos or cut autos and randomly inserted VIP party invitations (/100). ... Inside the Chrome packs will be Icons Chrome Refractors and Chrome Refractor image variations. These will have Orange (/25), Black (/10), Red (/5) and 1/1 Superfractors to chase for parallels. Also in there will be Chrome Autograph Refractors (/25) with Black (/10), Red (/5) and 1/1 Supers for parallels.

Among the auto cards will be Transcendent autos (/25), with Blue (/10), Emerald (/5) and 1/1 Platinum versions. They will be joined by Rookie Showcase autos (/25) with the same parallels. Also in there will be 1/1 Rookies Through The Years autos with "some of the most iconic Topps designs of the past featuring either baseball god Ichiro or one of the top 2024 rookies" as well as some dual-auto cards for that theme. This one also will include Superfractor nods to 1960 with 1/1 autos, 1/1 Combos autos, and 1/1 All-Star autos.

Patch autos will come via five sets -- Transcendent Collection (/15) and Transcendent Collection Jumbos (/5) for starters -- with the standard ones having Blue (/10), Emerald (/5) and 1/1 Platinum parallels. Jumbos will only have a Platinum parallel. More advanced patch autos will include Transcendent auto Relic books (/25) with the same three parallels and 1/1 MLB patch auto cards. Rookie Showcase Patch Autographs (/5) will round things out with only a 1/1 parallel for the patch autos. ... Last but not least will be a selection of 1/1 cut auto Relic booklets.

VIP party chases will have a Gold Tier "invitation to a baseball card collector's dream event as we dine amongst the stars in an environment fitting of baseball royalty" and a VIP Transcendent Tier (/10) for a "limited, next-level experience for select lucky collectors."
