2020 Topps Diamond Icons Baseball Autographs Overview


Unless it’s a cut, all autographs in 2020 Diamond Icons are on-card. They’re also numbered to 25 or less.







Basic themes include Autographs, Red Ink Autographs, Silver Ink Autographs, and Diamond Icons Autographs. Each set has additional Purple (/10), Red (/5) and Gold (1/1) parallels.







Among the signature relics are Autographed Jumbo Patches (/25 or less). These have larger-than-average premium swatches. Parallels include Purple (/10), Red (/5) and Gold (1/1).







Single-Player Autographed Relics and Dual Autographed Relics all max out at ten copies. Parallels are limited to Red (/5) and Gold (1/1).


Multi-swatch cards can also be with Single-Player Dual Team Autograph Relics. These highlight two teams of the featured star with swatches from each. Base versions have ten copies or less as well as Red (/5) and Gold (1/1) parallels.







Dual Player Autographed Relics (/10 or less, Red /5, Gold 1/1) bring ink and memorabilia from two players.


Instead of jersey or uniform pieces, Autographed Diamond Relics (/10 or less) have gems embedded in them.


The signature memorabilia themes round out with Dual Autographed Diamond Relic Book cards (/3) and Autographed Preeminent Pieces (/3), which have the signature on a giant piece of game-used cleat. Both have one-of-one Gold parallels.







Cut Signatures have no more than four copies each plus one-of-one Gold parallels. Top names get the Immortal Cut Signatures (1/1) treatment.

Dual-Player Dual Relic Book Cards (/10) open up to show jumbo swatches from a pair of players.
