The Glavis Ringworld CA-10 Red SN99 - 2022 Topps The Book of Boba Fett Concept Art Insert
When Din Djarin Walked Into a Concept Art Masterpiece
You know that rush when you crack a hobby pack and the card that slides out stops you cold - not because of the character on the front, but because of how stunning the artwork is? That is exactly what the 2022 Topps The Book of Boba Fett Concept Art insert set delivers every single time. Today I want to spotlight one of the most visually arresting cards in that whole run: CA-10 The Glavis Ringworld, pulled in the Red parallel, serial numbered to just 99 copies. This one is something special. 🚀
The Card: CA-10 The Glavis Ringworld - Concept Art Red SN99
The Concept Art insert set is built around the illustrated artwork that fans of the show will instantly recognize from the end-credit sequences. Each episode of The Book of Boba Fett closed with hand-crafted, richly painted illustrations telling visual stories within the Star Wars universe, and Topps went all in capturing that art on cardboard. The full Concept Art set runs 15 cards, falling at a rate of roughly one every four packs, making them a solid pull every box break but never so easy that they feel cheap.
CA-10 specifically showcases The Glavis Ringworld - that breathtaking ring-shaped artificial megastructure that looms large in the lore of Chapter 5. The artwork leans into the scale and grandeur of the location, with sweeping lines, bold colors, and the kind of architectural detail that only concept art can fully capture. As a Red parallel, the card carries a distinct crimson treatment across its borders and design elements that makes it pop in hand. The bold red tones against the cosmic backdrop of the ringworld imagery create a contrast that is just striking. Serial numbered to 99 copies, it sits in a sweet spot for collectors - rare enough to feel like a genuine hunt but not so scarce that you will wait years to track one down.
The Lore: What Is the Glavis Ringworld?
If you watched The Book of Boba Fett closely, you know that Chapter 5, titled Return of the Mandalorian, is basically a stealth episode of The Mandalorian tucked inside a Boba Fett show - and fans loved every second of it. That episode takes Din Djarin on a journey to the Glavis Ringworld, a jaw-dropping artificial structure in the Core Worlds region of the galaxy that literally encircles a small star like a cosmic ribbon.
The Glavis Ringworld is an artificial structure that encircles a small star, with a surface constantly bathed in sunlight and eclipse plates that slide over its sunward face to provide an artificial night cycle. It sits in the Caisra sector, along the Hydian Way trade route, and stretches roughly 158 kilometers in diameter. Home to over 1.6 million inhabitants, it is a densely urban, multi-species environment that feels genuinely alive. Within its corridors and foundries, Din Djarin tracked down the remnants of his Tribe, reconnected with the Armorer, and continued his journey back into Mandalorian society. It is a location that carries enormous emotional weight for fans of the entire Mando-verse, which makes this card hit even harder.
The Glavis Ringworld is one of those Star Wars locations that you only get to see for one episode, but it sticks with you. A city wrapping around a star - that is the kind of world-building that makes this galaxy feel genuinely infinite. When concept art like this shows up on a trading card, it earns every penny of its chase value.

Collector Notes: Who Should Chase This Card?
The Glavis Ringworld CA-10 Red SN99 is a natural fit for several different collector profiles. Location art chasers - yes, that is a real and deeply committed subsection of Star Wars collectors - will want this specifically because it is one of the few cards in any modern set to give this ringworld its own spotlight. Din Djarin fans chasing anything that features his Chapter 5 journey are going to want it. Set builders working through the full Concept Art run will need to hunt down the Red tier if they want a complete numbered parallel set. And anyone who just loves the illustrated end-credit art style of the show will find this card genuinely beautiful to display.
Because this is a numbered parallel, it falls squarely into Group B storage territory. I keep numbered inserts like this in an Ultra Pro UV One-Touch Magnetic Card Holder (55pt), which holds the card securely while giving you full UV protection and easy display access. If you want to go a step lighter, the Ultra Pro UV One-Touch Magnetic Card Holder (35pt) works perfectly fine for a standard-thickness insert parallel at this size - just make sure you sleeve it first before dropping it in the holder.
This one is on my need list in the Collectiblz app - I want the CA-10 Red to sit next to the base version in my The Book of Boba Fett binder. If you are tracking your own collection checklist, the Collectiblz app makes it incredibly easy to mark what you have and flag what you still need, so you never lose track of where you stand in a run like this.
Final Thoughts
The 2022 Topps The Book of Boba Fett Concept Art Red series is one of the most visually compelling insert sets to come out of any Star Wars product in recent memory. CA-10 The Glavis Ringworld SN99 captures a location that deserves far more collector attention than it typically gets - a cosmic megastructure that played host to one of the most emotionally resonant episodes in the entire Mando-verse. In the Red parallel at 99 copies, it is rare, gorgeous, and deeply tied to a moment in Star Wars lore that longtime fans will never forget.
Whether you are building the full Concept Art insert run, chasing Din Djarin-specific cards, or just hunting for something that looks incredible on display, this one belongs on your radar. Happy hunting out there. 🚀 Sam
