These sold out pretty quickly for several teams last year.

Haha, placed my order before posting my forum post. I see they added more parallels for the Orioles this year since they sold out so quickly last year.
My one complaint for the Orioles team set - since Jackson Holliday has not seen the bigs yet, he doesn’t have a card in this set.

Just noticed a unique set this year for the Dodgers - 2024 Los Angeles Dodgers MLB Topps NOW® Road To Opening Day 10-Card Team Set - Japan Edition. This has the team name in Japanese on the front of the card. No parallels come with this set, but that also means there is no preset PR limit on this set. Topps looking to take advantage of the big Japanese market for these cards.
This is in addition to the normal 11 card Dodgers set, where there are parallels for all 10 players. This means the Dodgers sets have the maximum potential PR of 1890. They really are expecting the Dodgers to sell!

The autograph packs sold out in less than an hour. At $129.99 for 1 auto, 1 gold foil SN24, and 8 base cards (plus 1:4 shot at Turn Back the Clock base or auto) it was not priced for me, but over 5000 purchases were made, earning Topps a quick $650K+ in less than 60 minutes.

If your response to "Opening Day" is "for what?"... We cannot be friends.

They are supposed to be print-to-order so there shouldn't be a "sold out". Just print as many sets as was ordered per team when it closes. Though the AU sets are probably limited.

I’m not sure what the deal is this season, but last season definitely sold out well before the end date. They had pre-calculated numbers for each team based on previous years’ sales, but didn’t release those numbers beforehand.

You can determine the print runs based on the parallels. The parallels are SN 99/49/25/10/5/1. Add those up you get 189 possible parallels for each person labeled as receiving a parallel. Since every order receives a parallel, once all the parallels are sold the set closes. I talked with a rep last year to see if they would think about selling sets without parallels to meet demand and they said no. So for instance, this year the Orioles have 5 players receiving parallels, so the max number of sets is 945. The Royals only have one player with a parallel, so the max sets are 189. There are additional base cards in the autograph sets, so the PR of individual players is slightly higher but only those number of complete sets will be sold (at max).

Royals and Tigers are the first two teams to sell out.
