Frequently asked
What makes Diamond Icons so expensive compared to other baseball products?
Every single card in the product is low-numbered to 25 or less, and you're guaranteed 9 autographs per box. Most boxes also include game-used memorabilia and some cards literally have diamonds embedded in them. It's built as a high-end luxury product, not a mass-market release.
What are the key rookie and star names in this set?
The checklist includes legends like Derek Jeter, Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, and Shohei Ohtani alongside rising stars like Wander Franco, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Julio Rodriguez. You'll also find Hall of Famers like Ken Griffey Jr., Nolan Ryan, and Rickey Henderson.
How do the parallels work in Diamond Icons?
Most autograph sets have three parallel tiers: Black (/10), Red (/5), and Gold (1/1). Some inserts like Icons of the Diamond use different names (Canary, Black, Pristine) but follow the same scarcity structure. Every parallel is a true one-of-one at the Gold level.
What's the difference between a base autograph and an Icons of the Diamond autograph?
Base autographs are straightforward on-card signatures numbered to 25 or less. Icons of the Diamond autographs use acetate in the design and are considered a premium insert set within the product, also numbered to 25 or less but with a distinct look.
Are there any non-autograph cards worth chasing?
Yes. Relic cards like Autographed Diamond Relics (which include actual diamonds), Autographed Jumbo Patches, and Preeminent Pieces are all major hits. Cut Signatures, especially the Immortal Cut Signatures which are all 1/1s, are also highly sought.
What's the deal with the diamonds in this product?
Several insert sets incorporate genuine diamonds into the card design. Autographed Diamond Relics feature four diamonds, while Autographed Diamond in the Rough Relics have one uncut diamond embedded in the card. There's also a 1/1 Autographed Diamond Studs card with ten actual diamonds.
How many boxes are in a case?
A case contains 4 hobby boxes. Since each box is guaranteed 9 autographs, a case will have 36 autographs total.
