Frequently asked
What makes 2018 Topps Diamond Icons so expensive?
At around $1,500 per box, Diamond Icons is positioned at the top of Topps' high-end portfolio. Every single card is numbered to 25 or less, and the box guarantees seven autographs, two autographed relics, and one relic card. All autographs are on-card or cut signatures, making it a true premium product.
What are the key autograph sets to chase?
The main autograph sets are the base Autographs (80 cards), Red Ink Autographs (80 cards), Diamond Autographs, and Autographed Authenticated Jumbo Patches (36 cards). All feature on-card signatures from legends like Nolan Ryan, Sandy Koufax, and current stars like Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, and Clayton Kershaw. Each has Purple (/10), Red (/5), and Gold (1/1) parallels.
Are there any rookies in this product?
Yes. The checklist includes rookies like Amed Rosario (New York Mets) and Clint Frazier (New York Yankees) alongside established stars and Hall of Famers. Rookies appear in the standard autograph sets and are numbered to 25 or less.
What relic cards are in the product?
Relics include Single-Player Relics (numbered to 10), Dual-Player Dual Relics (book cards, /10), Preeminent Pieces with cleat swatches (/10), Diamond Relics with embedded diamonds (/10), and MLB Silhouetted Batter Logo Patches (1/1). Every box includes one relic card.
How do the parallels work?
Most autographs and relics come in base, Purple (/10), Red (/5), and Gold (1/1) versions. Cut Signatures have only a Gold (1/1) parallel. Preeminent Pieces have a Spikes parallel (1/1). All parallels are extremely limited, with the 1/1 Gold versions being the rarest.
What's the difference between autographed relics and regular relics?
Autographed relics combine game-used memorabilia with an on-card signature. These include Autographed Authenticated Jumbo Patches and various dual-relic combinations. Regular relics are game-used pieces without autographs. Each box includes two autographed relics and one regular relic.
