Topps is releasing Wave 2 of its 2026 Collector Kit, an entry-level box built for new collectors, on October 28 at 1 p.m. ET (6 p.m. in Paris). The pitch: everything you need to start your collection.
The cards
The kit brings together top baseball and football releases in one box:
- 6 packs spanning 2026 Topps Chrome Baseball, 2026 Topps Update Series Baseball and 2026 Topps Flagship Football;
- 1 exclusive pack of 11 cards (5 MLB players and 5 NFL players, plus one parallel), featuring current stars and rookies.
Worth noting: Topps Flagship Football returns with a fully licensed NFL release for the first time in more than a decade.
The protection gear
The kit also includes:
- 100 sleeves;
- 25 top loaders;
- a magnetic case;
- a binder.
Who is it for?
Topps positions it as a simple way in: the cards come from the same lines chased by experienced collectors (rookies, parallels, inserts), and the supplies let you protect and organize them from day one. A checklist is available to download on the official page.
