The Basics: See updates below ...
There will be 350 cards in Series 1 each with foil and other traditional-style parallels that will include Rainbow, Aqua Rainbow, Gold (/2,025), Orange Crackle (/299), Purple (/250), Red Crackle (/199), Blue (/150), Green (/99), Vintage (/99), Independence Day (/76), Gold (/50), Canvas (/50), Wood (/25), Como (/25), Black Rainbow (/10), Red (/5) and 1/1 Holo as well as printing plates. Also back will be the 1/1 First Cards and Golden Mirror image variations.
Early teaser info for inserts in this one showed Heavy Lumber, Homefield Advantage, Legendary Homefield Advantage, All Aces, First Pitch, All-Topps, Greatest Hits of 2024, Training Grounds, Stars of MLB, 1990 Topps and Call To The Hall. Mega boxes will have 1990 foilboard exclusives and Mega Stars, while blasters will have parallels only found there. Stars of MLB will once again be a retail-only find.
Hits will include 1990 Topps autos, Baseball Stars autos, Real One autos, City Connect Swatch Collection auto Relics, Rickwood auto Relics for the throwback game and Heavy Lumber auto Relics.
Hobby boxes opened at $89.99 and jumbos at $179.99 via Topps.
Update (Jan. 13): The un-numbered checklist is here so now we know more inclusions on the inserts front. Among them will be player number variations and Dancing Dodgers variations from the basic set.
Among the auto sets will be 1990 Topps, Baseball Stars, Baseball Stars duals and triples, Flagship Real One autos, Signature Tunes dual autos, The Big Hurt (Frank Thomas) autos, Chrome autos in box-topper packs, autographed patch cards, Major League Material autos (and duals), Heavy Lumber autos, City Connect Relic autos and Rickwood Relic autos.
Also back are Social Media Followbacks, while inserts will include Plakata along with others mentioned. Superboxes will have the same array of finds as last time around. Also back will be Fanatics box redemptions.

Update (Jan. 16): The full parallel lineup is now known -- see gallery -- while inserts will have a more traditional rainbow of foil parallels -- Pink, Blue (/150), Green (/99), Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Black (/10), Red (/5) and 1/1 Foilfractors. ... Heavy Lumber cards will once again be limited to 500 copies, while the 1990 Topps inserts will have Pink, Real One (/90), Gold (/50), No Name (/25), Red (/5) and 1/1 Platinum versions to chase. ... Another inclusion will be sketch cards.
Among the hits will be Flagship patch autos (/50), with Bronze (/25), Black (/10), Red (/5) and 1/1 Platinums. Joining them will be Major League Material autos (/50 max) and dual autos also with the same cap. The parallels for those will be Orange (/25), Black, Red and Platinum at same volumes. Heavy Lumber autos are classified as "limited." City Connect Relic autos (/50) will include Gold (/50), Orange, Black, Red and Platinum versions.
Among standard autos will be Baseball Stars with duals (/10) and triples (/5). The single-auto cards will have Blue (/150), Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Black (/10), Red (/5) and 1/1 Platinum. The 1990 autos will have Gold, Orange, Black, Red and Platinum at same volumes, while First Pitch autos (/99) will have that lineup as well. The Red Trout card above is a Flagship Real One auto and they will have on-card autos with foil parallels -- Green (/99), Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Black (/10), Red (/5) and 1/1 Foilfractors.
For standard Relics, the four sets -- Major League Materials, 1990 Topps, Rickwood and City Connect -- will have Blue, Gold, Orange, Black, Red and Platinum parallels at the same volumes as autos above.
Silver packs return with one per hobby box and two per jumbo.
