Rather than traditional packs and boxes, 2015 Epoch IPTL Tennis is going the premium factory set route. For starters, there’s a 36-card base set. Hobby sets have either an autograph or an autographed memorabilia card to go with a basic relic. Retail sets the same base set and a Retail Foil Signature card.

Some of the game’s biggest names like Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova and Rafael Nadal all have cards and autographs in the product. There are also several early card from some of the sport’s young standouts.

The IPTL brings together some of the best tennis players from around the world to Asia where they’re drafted onto teams. The base set features those on the Indian Aces, Japan Warriors, Philippine Mavericks, Singapore Slammers and UAE Royals. While the league runs separate from the WTA and ATP, there’s a lot of overlap in players.

Besides some of the household names in the base set, 2015 Epoch IPTL Tennis has some of the first cards of Milos Raonic and Marin Cilic.
