Back for a third year as a standalone product, 2019 Topps Clearly Authentic baseball will arrive in October. It had originally been slated for release in July.
Born of a Topps Strata insert of the same name with a configuration that grew out of the Topps Archives Signature Series line, Clearly Authentic will draw on a couple of all-time classic sets for some of its content this year.
