The base card set is made up of 200 cards, including players from the expansion Orlando and New York City FC teams. Topps will also highlight 2014 MLS All-Stars, stadiums from around the league and the top 24 players in the league under the age of 24. Base cards will also have five levels of parallels: Purple (Seq #’d), Gold (#’d to 25), Black (#’d to 10), Red (#’d 1/1) and hobby exclusive Printing Plates (#’d 1/1).

Base Autograph cards include a player signature and have three levels of parallels. Gold parallels are numbered to 25, Black parallels numbered to ten and hobby exclusive Red parallels are numbered 1/1.
