What's Dropping
Topps has launched the pre-order for the highly anticipated 2026 Topps Chrome Football collection. This release includes hobby boxes, jumbo boxes, and retail formats like mega boxes, value boxes, and hanger boxes. Each hobby box guarantees one autograph, while jumbo boxes promise two.
When & Where
The pre-order went live on October 19, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET. Hobby and jumbo boxes are available through Topps’ EQL (Equal Queueing Lottery) system, while retail formats are first-come, first-serve. Shipping dates vary, with megas arriving by December 2nd and other products by November 18th.
The Play
Our team suggests focusing on hobby and jumbo boxes for the best resale potential. Retail formats like hanger boxes and value boxes are also worth considering, especially with cart limits of 10-20 per product. Note that mega boxes will ship unsealed, which could impact resale value unless sold by pack.
Resale Outlook
Our team estimates hobby boxes could resell for around $659.99, offering a solid return on the $439.99 retail price. Jumbo boxes are currently listed around $1,000 on resale platforms. Demand is expected to remain strong through the holiday season, with potential spikes around the Super Bowl. However, holding inventory beyond six months may carry risks due to market fluctuations.
