2024 Topps Chrome Black Star Wars welcomes collectors to the dark side. Aimed at those who like sleek designs, limited cards, autographs or any combination of all three, boxes are small with just four cards.
More specifically the breakdown includes one signature, one insert, both already encased in a holder. The second half of the box features a numbered parallel and a lone base card.
2024 Topps Chrome Black Star Wars Checklist Details
The base set has 100 cards. It’s another character-driven checklist that goes with the chromium feel but an understandably dark interpretation of it.
Parallels are available in eight levels:
- Rainbow Refractors – #’ed/199
- Blue/Red Lava Refractors – #’ed/99
- Yellow Lazer Refractors – #’ed/75
- Gold Refractors – #’ed/50
- Orange Refractors – #’ed/25
- Magenta RayWave Refractors – #’ed/10
- Red Refractors – #’ed/5
- Superfractors – 1/1
Autographs and Inserts
When it comes to autographs, most fall under similar but separate Light Side and Dark Side themes. Featuring actors from both film and TV, parallels include:
- Blue/Red Lava Refractors – #’ed/99
- Gold Refractors – #’ed/50
- Orange Refractors – #’ed/25
- Magenta RayWave Refractors – #’ed/10
- Red Refractors – #’ed/5
- Printing Plates – 1/1
- Superfractors – 1/1
Duality of the Galaxy Autographs are also available with Blue/Red Lava Refractors (#’ed/99), Gold Refractors (#’ed/50), Orange Refractors (#’ed/25), Red Refractors (#’ed/5) and Superfractors (1/1).
Rounding out the signatures are multi-signed Dual (#’ed/10) and Triple Autographs (#’ed/5). Both sets have one-of-one Superfractors as well.
25 Years of Darth Maul put the spotlight on the sinister villain, showcasing his various live-action and animated forms. These have additional Gold Refractors (#’ed/50), Orange Refractors (#”ed/25), Red Refractors (#’ed/5) and Superfractors (1/1).
Whereas the base set has live-action characters, Animated Short Prints have their cartoon forms. Landing as a case hit, these have Gold Refractors (#’ed/50), Orange Refractors (#”ed/25), Red Refractors (#’ed/5) and Superfractors (1/1) also.
Depth of the Dark Side is another case hit. These take a shadowbox approach with their design.
Taking the product’s dark theme more metaphorically is Embrace the Dark Side, an insert set dedicated to those who went to that side of The Force.
Finally, there’s Galactic Factions, a set of symbols for various groups like the Galactic Empire, First Order and Rebel Alliance.
