Topps Chrome X Jennie reportedly lists $79.99 boxes, est. October 20
Presales for the first Topps collaboration with Blackpink's Jennie Kim list 10-card boxes at $79.99, with autographs, concert relics and a 30-card base set.
2026 Topps Chrome X Jennie, reportedly the first Topps collaboration with K-pop artist Jennie Kim, is listed in presales at $79.99 per 10-card box, with an estimated release date of October 20, 2026. Kim is a solo artist and a member of the South Korean girl group Blackpink.
What is in the box
A box holds one 10-card pack, and five boxes make a case. Each box averages two base parallels and two inserts, counting inserts and insert parallels together. The presale listings also promise a chance at autographs and relics.
Topps presales for the product appeared on August 20, 2026. The October 20, 2026 release date is described as an estimate, about two months after the presale start.
Base set and parallels
The base set has 30 cards built from original Jennie Kim photoshoot imagery. Cards are titled by song or era: "Mantra" accounts for 22 cards, "Handlebars" for 7, and "ExtraL" for 1.
The base parallel ladder starts with a standard Refractor at 1:2 packs. It continues through numbered versions: Teal Refractor /299, Yellow /275, Pink /250, Pink Wave /225, Aqua /199, Blue /150, Blue Wave /125, Green /99, Purple /75, Gold /50, Orange /25, Black /10, Red /5, and a SuperFractor 1/1.
Odds climb steeply down that ladder. Teal Refractor is 1:18, Gold is 1:104, Black is 1:514, Red is 1:1,021, and the SuperFractor is 1:5,000.
A Ruby subset honors her solo studio album debut. Two Ruby Short Prints, RSP1 "Stage" and RSP2 "Close-Up," run at 1:31 packs, and a single Ruby Super Short Print, RSSP, sits above them. The figures for RSSP conflict: 1:151 packs in the guide text and 1:155 packs in the checklist section.
Inserts and insert parallels
Chromium Close-Ups has 10 cards (CC1–CC10) at 1:2 packs and is described as the most common insert. Monochrome Mementos also has 10 cards (MM1–MM10), styled after Instax photos, at 1:5 packs.
Both insert sets share a parallel run: Aqua Refractor /199 (1:78), Blue Refractor /150 (1:104), Green /99 (1:156), Purple /75 (1:206), Gold /50 (1:309), Orange /25 (1:615), Black /10 (1:1,531), Red /5 (1:3,062), and a SuperFractor 1/1 (1:15,000).
The Blue Wave Refractor insert parallel is listed inconsistently. It appears as /25 (1:124) for Chromium Close-Ups and /125 (1:124) for Monochrome Mementos.
Autographs and relics
Base Autographs are on-card, at 1:838 packs, and cover 10 base cards: 1-A, 3-A, 5-A, 6-A, 8-A, 9-A, 10-A, 16-A, 27-A, and 28-A. Their parallels are Black Refractor /10 (1:1,516), Red Refractor /5 (1:3,000), and SuperFractor 1/1 (1:15,000).
The Ruby cards have autograph versions too. Ruby SP Autographs cover two cards, RSP1-A "Stage" and RSP2-A "Close-Up," numbered /10 or less. Versions are Black Refractor /10 (1:7,500), Red Refractor /5 (1:15,000), and SuperFractor 1/1 (1:75,000). Ruby SSP Autographs are a single card, RSSP-A, numbered /5 or less, as Red Refractor /5 (1:30,000) or SuperFractor 1/1 (1:150,000).
The Autograph Relics card, C-AR, is numbered /10 or less. It comes as Black Foil /10 (1:15,000), Red Foil /5 (1:30,000), or FoilFractor 1/1 (1:150,000).
Concert Relics use concert-worn clothing. The base card, C-R, is 1:356 packs. Parallels run Purple Foil /75 (1:2,028), Gold Foil /50 (1:3,062), Orange Foil /25 (1:6,000), Black Foil /10 (1:15,000), Red Foil /5 (1:30,000), and FoilFractor 1/1 (1:150,000).
Resale prices and context
Resale listings for presale or sealed hobby boxes range from $140.49 (a US import preorder) to $165.00. Other listings include $149.95, $150.00, $154.99, $159.99, $160.00, and $164.99.
Jennie's earlier autographs and base cards came from the 2025 Gas X Complex collaboration. Music-themed Topps products are infrequent: musicians normally appear as subjects in Allen & Ginter rather than in a standalone release, and the 2021 Topps X Lil Wayne release is cited as one of the most recent music sets.
The release lands in a busy stretch for Topps. TCGKing's coverage also tracks Topps Heritage Football and Topps Vault Disney, each with an estimated October 21, 2026 release.
What is still unknown
The October 20, 2026 date remains an estimate. The markets of release are not announced yet.
Whether $79.99 is an official Topps price is also unclear, given the resale range of $140.49 to $165.00. The checklist is marked subject to change, and the two conflicting figures above (RSSP odds and Blue Wave insert numbering) are unresolved.
What it means for players and collectors
- Note October 20, 2026 as the estimated release date, and treat it as an estimate until Topps confirms it.
- Each box is a single 10-card pack, so pulls rest on that one pack: two parallels and two inserts on average, with autographs and relics as long shots.
- Chasing a specific card? Check the Blue Wave insert numbering and the RSSP odds against the final checklist, since the figures conflict.
- Concert Relics (1:356 packs) are the more attainable relic. Autograph Relics start at 1:15,000.
