Each case will have 12 boxes and the case hits will include pne Framed Autograph card and one Jumbo Relic Autograph.
Base and Insert Cards
Museum’s base set is usually on the smaller side with a total of 100 cards planned again this year. The parallel possibilities aren’t too hard to digest with five slated to be on the checklist including:

Amethyst: #’d to 99
