The 250th Anniversary release builds its parallel ladder around /250, /76 and /47. Those numbers connect the cards to the anniversary, 1776 and the presidential count. Pieces of the Past offers the 2026 edition in Hobby and Breaker boxes, with two relics in either format and a manufacturer release date of December 16, 2026. Hobby details

A license-style insert and a document-window design

The Presidential License preview gives Abraham Lincoln a modern identification-card layout, with a portrait, dates and signature-style graphic. It is an insert design, not a historical driver’s license. Other insert themes include USA Diecut, Presidents In Sports, Ovalocity, 250th Anniversary, Dollar Bill and In Charge.

The Washington–Lincoln preview takes a different approach, pairing two portraits with handwriting windows inside an Authentic Ink design. The article’s illustrated preview identifies that composition; the exact document and material attribution belong to the finished card’s description.

The Flag chase spans the release

Base parallels include White, Silver /250, Red /76, Blue /47, Green /25, Gold /10 and American Flag 1/1. Inserts and relics also carry the announced numbered ladder through the Flag 1/1 tier. Single, Dual, Triple and Quad Relics give the material program several configurations, while the same commemorative numbering connects it to the portrait and insert cards.
