The Basics: This one will once again include a 200-card base set comprised of F1 and F2 drivers as well as some subsets that include cars and legends from the past. Some will have image variations to chase. ... Parallels for each card once again will include at least 23 versions in hobby packs -- a larger rainbow vs. last year with more high-volume cards. It will include standard Refractors as well as Checker Flag X-Fractors, Purple (/399), Mini-Diamond (/299), Fuchsia Lava (/250), Purple Checker Flag (/199), Aqua Wave (/150), Green (/99), Pink (/75), Purple & Green, Gold (/50), Gold Wave (/50), Gold Checker (/50), Gold & Purple, Orange (/25), Orange Wave (/25), Orange Checker (/25), Orange & Red, Red (/5), Red & Green, Red Checker (/5) and 1/1 Superfractors and printing plates. ... Inserts will include Constructor's Crest, Topps Autos of 1977, Speed Demons and Camber for starters with all of those having Gold, Gold Wave, Orage, Red, Supers and plates at the same volumes as base. Joining them will be F1 Armour (/50) with only Red and Supers as well as a new take on Art du Grand Prix (one in 720 packs) that will have Orange, Red, Supers and plates. Even rarer inserts this time will be Futuro (one in 960) and Turn Up The Lights (one in 1,350) with similar rainbow parallels for those. ... Chrome autographs have the following Refractor parallels -- Green (/99), Gold (/50), Gold Wave (/50), Orange (/25), Red (/5) and 1/1 Superfractors as well as printing plates just like last year. A new auto set this time will be Futuro (/50) with Orange, Red and Supers to chase, too.
