🧱 Base Set (300 Cards) & Licensing Focus

The base set once again runs 300 cards. Due to licensing constraints, Select Baseball primarily focuses on retired players and prospects, though a handful of current players typically appear as well.

🏟️ Select Tiers (Increasing Rarity)

As always, Select is built around tiers that get progressively tougher to pull. For baseball, those tiers are:

• Concourse
• Premier Level
• Diamond Level

🌈 Parallels (Tiered Rainbow Chase)

Dozens of parallels cover the entire base set, and each tier has its own parallel treatments. Select is one of the best products in the hobby for collectors who love building full rainbows across multiple levels of scarcity.

✍️ Autographs to Chase

Select Baseball delivers autograph content through multiple signature concepts, including:

• Diamond Action Signatures – A signature set combining two photos and an autograph into one comprehensive design
• Legendary Signatures – A staple set that leans into retired player content

🎨 Inserts (9 Per Hobby Box)

With nine inserts or insert parallels per Hobby box, collectors will find plenty of insert variety. Some of the core insert themes include:

• Phenomenon
• Select Certified
• Select Numbers
• Turbo Charged

🌀 SSP Chase: Color Wheel

Color Wheel inserts return as one of the toughest SSP chases in the product. Known for their vibrant, circular spectrum design, Color Wheels are the type of hit that can instantly headline a box break or personal collection.
