USA Baseball Is Home to Exclusive 2023 Stars & Stripes Factory Set
USA Baseball’s Team Store exclusive 2023 Panini USA Baseball Stars & Stripes 100-card Factory Set will be available starting Wednesday, May 31 through the team store in Cary, N.C. or online from the organization.
The Factory Set replaces the hanging packs from previous years. The 2023 Factory Set comes in a blaster box featuring the 100-card Opti-Chrome set plus five exclusive blue foil parallel autograph cards. Each set retails for $29.99.
“As we began to work with Panini on 2023 Stars & Stripes, we wanted to create something new for collectors and USA Baseball fans,” said David Perkins, USA Baseball’s Chief Operating Officer. “From our initial conversations, we made the decision to reconfigure the USA Baseball Shop exclusive product as a factory set and increase the number of autographs in each one. This is the first time a USA Baseball Factory Set has been made available, and we are very pleased with the early reception to the product.”
The base set is comprised of players from the 2022 Collegiate National Team, the 18U National Team and 15U National Team. Among that group are some of the 2023 MLB Draft’s prospects such as Dylan Crews, Max Clark, Wyatt Langford, Paul Skenes and Aidan Miller. Players from the National Teams as well as the USA Baseball Athlete Development Program signed for the set.
Each autograph is limited to 100, but are not serial numbered.
The Factory Set will help fund the USA Baseball programs.
“USA Baseball’s partnership with Panini continues to be a cornerstone for the organization, and with the support of partners like Panini we are able to continue to select and train the top players in the United States for international competitions,” said Paul Seiler, USA Baseball Executive Director/CEO. “This new factory set is one way that collectors and fans can continue to support the organization’s drive toward winning gold medals on the international stage.”
