I think these were big in '19...I didn't read back too many old threads, but the series 2 rookies were available in purple (eloy/tatis/alonso) and Vlad Jr. in Update was a big one at the time it came out.
I'm fairly certain the S2 purple were not as hard to find because they came in blister packs at Meijer stores, but the '19 Update purple may only have come in the power cube configuration, which seemed to be harder to find and they cost a lot more.
Here's an image from an old sold listing for S2 blister packs from Meijer advertising the purple parallel:
Similarly, the Walgreens parallels were sold in hanger boxes at Walgreens...but for some releases, there was nothing on the packaging that said yellow parallels were included. It was the SKU that identified the different hanger boxes if the packaging didn't indicate yellows (like 2020 Series 1, Walgreens, Walmart, and Target all had different SKUs I believe). And sometimes Walgreens stores would get the 'standard' hanger boxes and not the ones with yellow parallels (
).
2019 S1 I don't think mentioned it on the box, 2019 Update did, 2020 S1 did not (SKU ending -83 as I recall), 2020 S2 did...I think.
