Frequently asked
What makes 2018 Topps Clearly Authentic different from other products?
Every single card is an on-card autograph printed on clear acetate stock. There are no base cards or non-signed pulls. It's a pure autograph product where you're guaranteed one signed card per box.
Who are the key rookie and star names in this product?
The main Clearly Authentic set features Mike Trout, Aaron Judge, Bryce Harper, Ronald Acuña, Shohei Ohtani, and Gleyber Torres. The 1993 Finest Stars subset includes younger stars like Francisco Lindor, Ozzie Albies, and Rafael Devers alongside legends.
How do the parallels work?
Most autograph sets have seven parallel tiers: Green /99, Black /75, Red /50, Blue /25, Purple /10, Orange /5, and Gold 1/1. Reprint Autographs only have Sepia 1/1 parallels. Clearly Legendary Autographs only have Gold 1/1 versions.

Clearly Authentic Autographs is the main 52-card set of current players. Salute Autographs highlights 13 established veterans.
