Factory Set refers to a specific distribution method of baseball cards. Rather than being released into packs at random, a full set is placed in one box and sold for one price. The first factory sets appeared in the 1980's based on the success of selling hand collated sets in order by mail catalogs. In 1986 Topps first began distributing the flagship brand in factory set form. In 1984, Fleer released an update set directly to hobby shops that was to be sold as a set. Many other smaller sized sets were sold in a factory box at retail outlets, for example 1992 Score 100 Rising Stars.
