It might not be quite on the level of Dynasty, but 2017 Topps Luminaries Baseball is close. The ultra high-end product has just one card per box. Not only is everything autographed, but every card is numbered to 15 or less.
As far as player selection goes, it’s a mix. Veterans, retired greats and big-name young talent are all included.
HIT KINGS
A Hit Kings Ultra Book card has ten autographs. That’s definitely a lot, but it pales in comparison to the Hit Kings Ultimate Book, which has 40 signatures. Both of these massive book cards are one-of-ones.
HOME RUN KINGS
Base Home Run Kings Autographs are numbered to 15 with parallels landing in Red (/10), Blue (/5) and Black (1/1).
Like Hit Kings, there’s a Home Run Kings Ultra Book (1/1) and an Ultimate Book (1/1). The Home Run Kings Ultimate Book ups the ante with a total of 50 autographs on it.
Memorabilia is added for Home Run Kings Autograph Relics (/15) and Autograph Patches (/5). Both have Black (1/1) parallels. Relics also have Red (/10) versions.
One-of-one dual and triple patch book cards are also inserted.
MASTERS OF THE MOUND
Dual Books are one-of-ones.
The Masters of the Mound Ultra Book (1/1) has ten autographs from big-name pitchers.
OTHER AUTOGRAPHS AND CUT SIGNATURES
While most of 2017 Topps Luminaries Baseball falls under those three main themes, there are others.
The Greatest is a book card with a total of 30 signatures.
Letters book cards highlight some of the best patches available from a jersey.
Cut Signatures all have one copy each. Some are upgraded with relic pieces and bat knobs.
