Topps Black & White MLS Soccer reportedly sells Nov. 3 via EQL raffle
A checklist for the Topps-website exclusive lists an 80-card base set, Messi and Beckham autographs, and Flashpoint inserts limited to 20 copies per card.
2026 Topps Black & White MLS Soccer is reportedly set to go on sale November 3, 2026, through an EQL raffle on the Topps website. A checklist guide lists an 80-subject base set, three autograph subsets, and inserts led by Flashpoint, which is capped at 20 copies per card.
Topps has not officially confirmed the date or the raffle in the material available, so both should be treated as reported.
What the checklist lists
The set brings Topps' monochrome, photography-first look to Major League Soccer for the first time, and it is sold only through the Topps website.
The base set has 80 subjects in a full-bleed design, with a Topps B&W logo at the top and a player and team nameplate at the bottom. Parallels typically add random splashes of colorization.
Base subjects include Lionel Messi, David Beckham, Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Müller, and Wayne Rooney, along with Messi's teammates Rodrigo De Paul and Luis Suárez. Rookie cards include Cooper Sanchez (Atlanta United), Mateo Silvetti (Inter Miami CF), and Adri Mehmeti (New York Red Bulls).
Autographs and inserts
Autograph names include Adri Mehmeti, Antoine Griezmann, Cavan Sullivan, David Beckham, Lionel Messi, Son Heung-Min, and Zlatan Ibrahimović.
The autograph subsets are Base Autographs (61 cards), Developmental Autographs (9 cards), and Global Impact Autographs (18 cards).
Developmental inserts focus on rising rookies and have a 15-card checklist. Global Impact covers MLS standouts who also made their mark internationally.
Flashpoint is a rarity insert series capped at five players, with 20 copies per card. Golden Hour is another rarity insert, modeled after the insert from the MLB version of the Black & White brand, which is where the line began.
Limited parallels include Red (/10) and Full-Color (1/1) editions. Parallels for all sets are still to be announced.

The parallel lists are still to be announced.

- Autograph hunters have 88 signed cards across three subsets to chase, and Flashpoint is capped at 20 copies per card.
