What's buzz-worthy: The earliest teases of the second series of the Topps baseball card flagship set are here -- the packaging formats -- with Shohei Ohtani leading the way on all fronts.

Keep reading for more info.

The Basics: The lineup figures to be the same as Series 1, but we'll wait for a formal reveal there beyond the fact that there will be 350 cards with parallels in play -- and all Series 1 Black parallels should also be included in this one, per past company statements. Eight box formats are below along with a jumbo pack.

Update (May 12): We're still awaiting the checklist but the base set will be another 350 cards -- and likely the same lineup of everything (and more with the return of the previously jettisoned Black parallels). Among the sets teased are Heavy Lumber (announced /500), more 1990 Topps inserts, new All Kings, K-Zone die-cuts, City Connect Swatch Collection auto Relics, Major League Material dual autos (/50 max), World Champion autos, 1/1 sketch cards,  patch auto cards (/50) and more Real One autos.
