What: 2023 Pieces of the Past Asia Edition
Arrives: Nov. 20
Box basics: Two relics per six-pack box (10 boxes per case)
Order: Click here

What's buzz-worthy: This brand returns by "celebrating over 2,000 years of Asia's rich history with subjects from China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia" and elsewhere in a release packed with history, hits, modern-day pop culture icons and more.

Keep reading for more info and a selection of images.

The Basics: There will be 50 base cards to start this one with Gold (/10) and 1/1 Red parallels and the next 50 cards in the collection will be trapped mirror relics (document and manuscript cuts) with the same approach. The five after that will be dual relics and then five more triple relics. Atop those, are subsets for Gold Honor (/10, top warriors, generals and samurai), Yokozuna (/25, the first 10), Year Of The Rabbit (/50, warriors and conquerors). Atop these will be jade gem relics, jumbo silk relics, and Sword of Goujian relics with pieces of ancient swords and other military weapons. Rounding things out in the master set will be ancient coin relics. Atop all that, here will be patch autographs for top Asian athletes with their traditional sigs as well as kanji or other native-language versions. Last but not least, there will be a limited number of The Bar cut auto creations for modern-day athletes as well as celebrities such as Ichiro Suzuki, Jet Li, Hideo Nomo, Hideki Matsui, Henry Golding, BTS, BLACKPINK, Shohei Ohtani, Yao Ming, Sadaharu Oh, Jackie Chan and others. ... Each case will include at least one autograph, coin relic or sword relics. There also will be 1/1s printed in Mandarin, Korean, Japanese and Indonesian for starters, according to the company. A sampling of the historic figures can be seen in the gallery below. ... Boxes carry a suggested retail price of $89.95.
