Rounding things out will be Logoman autos, Treasured Tags autos, International Treasures autos, Hometown Heroes autos and Colossal jersey patch autos. … A base set size and checklists were not revealed and there are likely to be more inclusions by the time this one arrives. … Boxes carry a suggested retail price of $500.
