Topps Five Star to feature autographs and relics of star players
While a base set with parallels will be featured, autographs and relics are the main draw of the product, as with any high end product in the hobby. One preview image that has been shared is of an eye-popping autograph subset titled Golden Graphs. It features a large gold seal on the left of the card, along with an autograph in gold ink. This certainly plays into the color scheme of the product, with gold being a primary color in it.

Patch autographs look to also appear in the overall checklist, some of which will have the prime distinction. A three color Mike Trout autographed patch card was also shared in the preview images, and cards like this are limited to 50 copies or less.
Five Star is unique in the sense that it does offer collectors a chance to find Triple Autographed cards. While not all the combinations in the checklist are known at this tme, one is: George Brett, Bo Jackson, and Bobby Witt Jr. This card may very well be a must for Royals fans, and anytime three autographs are on a trading card, it is a sight to be seen.
