2017 Topps Five Star Baseball will return the week of October 25 with just two cards per pack, both autographed. Topps promises every auto will be signed directly on the card unless you’re lucky enough to pull a cut signature card of a past great.
Expect those two-pack boxes to open at around $120. This is one product for which you’ll definitely want to consult the checklist when it arrives.

de Purple (# to 50 or less); Blue (# to 25 or less); Green (# to 15 or less), Gold (# to 10), Orange (# to 5) and 1/1 Red.

Five Star Signatures will also be tough pulls. The subset will feature up to 50 MLB players with some adding an inscription. All will be numbered to 20 or less with 1/1 Five Star parallels likely to be among the hottest cards in the product.
Heart of a Champion cards will feature players who have had memorable performances in the post-season. Each will be numbered to no more than 35 with 1/1 parallels also in the mix.
Five Star Autographed Jumbo Patch cards are also case-level hits and will include a checklist of top veterans, young stars, prominent rookies and retired greats.
