What's Dropping
The 2026 Topps Mars Attacks Christmas box brings a holiday twist to the classic sci-fi trading card series. Each $64.99 hobby box contains a small base set with celebrity autographs from an eclectic checklist including Bill Nye, Chuck Norris, Dennis Rodman, Mike Tyson, Tony Hawk, and Will Smith. Boxes also include two numbered parallels and Invasion-Worn Relics.
This marks the first Mars Attacks release since 2021, when Topps offered it as an On Demand product. The Christmas theme and star-studded autograph list made this a standout drop for collectors.
When & Where
The boxes went live for pre-order on September 8, 2026 at 11 AM ET exclusively on Topps.com. Both single boxes ($64.99) and sealed cases ($1299.99) were available, with purchase limits of 10 and 2 respectively. The product is scheduled to ship on October 6, 2026.
The Play
This was a high-risk, high-reward opportunity. With no recent market data on Mars Attacks products, resellers had to gauge interest based on the autograph checklist and holiday theme. International sites had already sold out prior to the US drop, with listings starting around $230 overseas (though no confirmed sales at that price).
Resale Outlook
Our team estimates these boxes will resell for around $100 based on the autograph potential and limited nature of the release. Cases sold out almost immediately, with single boxes following shortly after. Stock fluctuated in the minutes following the drop, allowing some additional checkouts. The combination of nostalgic IP, holiday theme, and celebrity signers creates multiple angles for flipping.
