Topps Collectors Kit Wave 2 reportedly ships Oct. 28 at $39.99
The MLB and NFL box pairs an exclusive 11-card pack with six other Topps packs and Fanatics supplies; the Oct. 28 date is an estimate.
The second wave of the 2026 Topps Collectors Kit, pairing MLB and NFL product, is reportedly due October 28, 2026, at $39.99 a box. That release date is an estimate, not a firm commitment.
The kit is a multi-sport product aimed at new collectors. It combines sealed packs from MLB, NBA, or NFL releases with an exclusive pack and trading card supplies.
What ships in the Wave 2 box
The Wave 2 box (Green/Blue, MLB x NFL) holds seven packs in total: one exclusive Collectors Kit pack of 11 cards, one pack of 2026 Topps Chrome Baseball (4 cards), two packs of 2026 Topps Update Series Baseball (14 cards each), and three packs of 2026 Topps Flagship Football (14 cards each).
Hobby configuration is 7 packs per box plus supplies, with 8 boxes per case.
Every box also includes 100 Fanatics Soft Sleeves, 25 Fanatics Toploaders (35pt), 1 Fanatics Magnetic Case (35pt), and 1 Exclusive 10-Page Mini Binder. Topps puts the added value of the supplies at more than $25 (about €22.29 at the European Central Bank reference rate of 2026-10-20, an approximate conversion rather than an official price).
The exclusive pack checklist
The Wave 2 exclusive pack lists 10 cards. The MLB side is Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., Munetaka Murakami (RC), Konnor Griffin (RC), and Juan Soto. The NFL side is Fernando Mendoza (RC), Carnell Tate (RC), Josh Allen, Justin Jefferson, and Myles Garrett. Each pack carries one parallel, and the parallels are listed as TBA.
The checklist is marked subject to change.
Dates and Wave 1 for comparison
Wave 2 presales arrived on September 28, 2026, at $39.99, the same price as Wave 1.
Wave 1 (MLB and NBA) presales began on March 9, 2026, also at $39.99, with an estimated release of March 25, 2026.
The Wave 1 exclusive pack differs in setup: five MLB and five NBA stars and rookies, led by Shohei Ohtani and Cooper Flagg, with Wave, Gold /50, Black /10, and FoilFractor 1/1 parallels.
Why it matters
Wave 1 paired MLB with NBA, and Wave 2 pairs MLB with NFL. The Wave 2 box swaps basketball for football while keeping the same $39.99 price.
The date lands in a busy stretch. TCGKing has also covered the 2026 Topps Five Star Baseball release, which also has an Oct. 28 release.
What is still unknown
Wave 2 parallel names are not announced yet. The release dates are only estimates, and print runs are not stated. This is a North American product, and the facts give no European release or local pricing; the $39.99 price converts to about €35.66, but local distributors set their own prices.
What it means for players and collectors
- Note October 28, 2026 as the estimated Wave 2 date, and expect it to be treated as an estimate.
- Football fans get three Flagship Football packs; baseball fans get Chrome and Update Series packs.
