What's buzz-worthy: "One of the most-treasured releases every year from Topps" returns with the same format as previous years but with new players and plenty of hits -- in fact, it's once again nothing but hits.

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

The Basics: Among the inked cards will be base autos and four new sets -- Icons Chrome (/25), Iconic Firsts Inscriptions (/25), Diamond Drip (/25) an Iconic Duals (/25). All of these will have Black (/10), Red (/5) and 1/1 Gold parallel versions. ... The PolychromatINK cards are back with Black and White versions with deep parallel lineups -- see gallery -- and they will be joined by Diamond Icons (/25), Icons Of The Diamond (/25) with the Black, Reed and Gold versions, too. Cut autos (/4 max) will have 1/1 Gold parallels while Immortal Cut autos will be 1/1 finds.

Autographed Relics will include jumbo patches (/25) with the trio of parallels along with single-player cards, single-player dual-team, single-player dual Relics and dual-player cards. They will all be limited to 10 copies with only Red and Gold parallels. Upping the ante in this category of hits will be Diamond Relic autos (/5), Diamond In The Rough auto Relics (/5), dual Diamond Relic books (/3) and Preeminent Pieces Relic autos. These rarer card will only have a 1/1 Gold. Also among Relic autos will be First Milestone Cleat Relics (/10) and 1/1 MLB logos and Nike logos.

For standard Relics, there will be single-player (/10) and dual-player (/10) with Reds and Golds, while Diamond Relics (/5), Diamond In The Rough Relics (/5 with a 1/1 Gold) and 1/1 MLB logos will be found.
