Inside 2024 Topps Star Wars Masterwork
Few products in the galaxy deliver collecting prestige quite like Topps Star Wars Masterwork. Known for its thick, premium, 72pt card stock, on-card autographs, rare inserts, and nods to every era of Star Wars storytelling, Masterwork has long been the go-to set for collectors who want a little luxury mixed in with their fandom.
But with so much packed into every box, knowing where to start can make all the difference. Whether you’re ripping a Master Box or chasing specific cards on the secondary market, here’s everything you need to know about how to collect 2024 Topps Star Wars Masterwork.
The Basics of 2024 Topps Star Wars Masterwork
The base set itself is a showcase of Star Wars history, featuring 100 of the most collectible characters from across the Star Wars Galaxy. Everyone from Jedi legends to dark side icons and fan-favorite droids make an appearance.
These cards come on heavy 72pt stock, giving them a true premium feel in hand. But what really makes the base set pop are its parallels. Every pack includes a Blue parallel, while rarer colors like Green (/99), Purple (/50), Red (/25), Orange (/10), Black (/5), and Gold 1-of-1s offer opportunities for serious collectors to rainbow their favorite character. Printing Plates, each a true 1-of-1, add yet another layer of rarity for set collectors.
Insert Yourself Into the Universe
Of course, Masterwork wouldn’t be Masterwork without its inserts, and this year’s product features some of the most creative and collectible designs yet. The Artoo-Deetoo & See-Threepio metal cards are a standout, bringing Star Wars’ most beloved droid duo to life on cards that are actually designed with the signature colors and textures of R2-D2 and C-3PO. Each card highlights iconic moments from their time in the galaxy, making them a must-have for character collectors.
Another visually stunning insert is Force Spirit, a rare acetate set that pays tribute to Jedi who have become one with the Force. These transparent cards not only look incredible but also highlight some of the most spiritual moments in Star Wars lore. Then there’s Behind the New Scenes, a treat for fans of the Sequel Trilogy and Star Wars filmmaking. This insert takes collectors beyond the story and onto the set, offering rare behind-the-scenes glimpses at the cast and crew during the making of Episodes VII through IX.
A Galaxy of Star Wars Autographs
The on-card autograph continues to be one of this product’s biggest draws, giving collectors authentic signatures from some of the most iconic actors, voice actors, and creators in Star Wars history. These cards are clean, bold, and signed directly onto the card’s surface for that true collector feel.
Adding even more chase to the autograph lineup are the multi-signature cards, which include Dual, Triple, and Quad Autographs. These cards feature exciting character combinations and pairings from across the galaxy, creating some of the most display-worthy hits in the entire product. And for those looking for something truly rare and unique, the Stormtrooper Armor Relic Autograph Variations offer an unforgettable pull. These cards not only feature an autograph but also include a piece of Stormtrooper armor used during production, fusing memorabilia and signature together for a piece of Star Wars history you can actually hold.
Each 2024 Topps Star Wars Masterwork Master Box is packed with guaranteed hits, including two autographs per Master Box with at least one being on-card. Additionally, every Mini Box guarantees a hit, giving collectors four chances at autographs, relics, or rare inserts per Master Box. Whether you’re chasing big-name autos, building out your character rainbow, or looking for premium Star Wars content to add to your collection, Masterwork continues to deliver a product that feels worthy of the galaxy far, far away.
