Ysponder

2017 Topps Star Wars Masterwork marks the third consecutive year for the high-end brand. Once again, it’s highlighted by a premium insert in every pack. Each four-pack box promises a pair of autographs.


Base Set

The premium nature of 2017 Topps Star Wars Masterwork starts with the base set. I has 100 cards, including 25 short prints. Instead of regular card stock, they are a thick 72 pt. That makes them about as thick as a lock of memorabilia cards.





Parallels land at least one per pack with the most common being Blue. Numbered versions come in Green (/99), Purple (/50), Gold (/25), Printing Plates (1/1) and Red (1/1).

Autographs

2017 Topps Star Wars Masterwork has a wide-ranging autograph checklist. More than 40 actors are included, covering all of the original films, prequels, The Force Awakens, Rogue One, as well as the animated Clone Wars and Rebels.

It looks as though many of the actors that attended the Star Wars Celebration in Orlando this past spring are slated to have signatures in the set. The sales material sent out by Topps for the set includes such attendees as Felicity Jones, Forest Whitaker, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Billy Dee Williams. Also included were potential first-time Star Wars trading card signers Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alan Tudyk. Often, these sell sheets use mock-up images. However, this time, they appeared to picture live cards.
Daisy Ridley was also among those shown.



Autograph parallels include Rainbow Foil (/50), Canvas (/25), Wood (/10), Silver Framed (/10 or less) and Gold Frame (1/1).
Also randomly inserted are Autograph Pen Relics that have pieces of the pen used in the signing, Dual-, Triple-, and Quad Autographs.

Two autographs are included in each box of 2017 Topps Star Wars Masterwork.

Other Premium Inserts

The other two box hits come from a variety of premium inserts. Sketch Cards come with original art done on them. These have parallels. Droid Medallions highlight the robots of the Star Wars Universe.

Film Strip cards come with celluloid frames from prints of the movies. The idea here is that because each frame is a little bit different, each card can be considered unique.





New to 2017 Topps Star Wars Masterwork are Animation Cel cards. These use pieces of the actual frames used to make the Ewoks and Droids cartoons released in the 1980s following Return of the Jedi.




Regular Inserts

Like the first two Star Wars Masterwork releases, the inserts aren’t all just of the hit variety. 2017 Topps Star Wars Masterwork has three new insert themes that focus on the saga’s protagonists: Hall of Heroes, Evolution of the Rebel Alliance, and Adventures of R2-D2.

These all have parallels done on different styles of card stock: Rainbow Foil, Canvas, Wood, Metal , Gold Tinted Metal, and Printing Plates.
