2026 Topps Collector Kit Wave 2 Checklist: Card Numbers and Rookies

The 2026 Topps Collector Kit Wave 2 exclusive checklist has ten subjects: five baseball players and five football players. The official Topps checklist marks four as rookies. Use the complete card codes below to identify a kit exclusive before comparing listings.

This guide connects our new releases hub with the beginner collecting guide. It focuses on the exclusive cards rather than trying to list every possible card in the assorted packs.

Official sources checked October 24, 2026. The reused original blueprint illustrates card identification and storage; it does not show the actual kit, packaging or exclusive card design.

When does Collector Kit Wave 2 launch?

The Topps U.S. launch page announces October 28 at 1 p.m. ET, which is noon Central on that date. The official release calendar lists the same day and cautions that dates can change. Treat that as the announced launch, not a promise of delivery that day.

The ten exclusive card numbers

The following table transcribes the base section of the manufacturer's one-page Wave 2 checklist. A dash means the row has no Rookie designation in that document.

Card code	Player	Team listed by Topps	Rookie designation
MLB-11	Aaron Judge	New York Yankees	—
MLB-12	Bobby Witt Jr.	Kansas City Royals	—
MLB-13	Munetaka Murakami	Chicago White Sox	Rookie
MLB-14	Konnor Griffin	Pittsburgh Pirates	Rookie
MLB-15	Juan Soto	New York Mets	—
NFL-16	Fernando Mendoza	Las Vegas Raiders	Rookie
NFL-17	Carnell Tate	Tennessee Titans	Rookie
NFL-18	Josh Allen	Buffalo Bills	—
NFL-19	Justin Jefferson	Minnesota Vikings	—
NFL-20	Myles Garrett	Cleveland Browns	—

Keep the MLB- or NFL- prefix with the number in a search or inventory record. For example, record Griffin as 2026 Topps Collector Kit Wave 2, MLB-14. That gives you a specific checklist entry to compare against photographs instead of relying on a title that says only “Griffin rookie.” Our Topps checklist-reading guide explains how to use section names and full codes together.

Topps cautions that its checklist reflects intended production configuration and that actual contents and odds may vary.

What does the checklist establish about parallels?

The linked PDF lists the base subjects; it does not provide a parallel ladder or pack odds. It cannot establish a print run for a colored card by itself. Ask for a readable photograph of any serial stamp and compare the exact version using our serial-number guide.

The U.S. launch description specifies an exclusive pack with ten base cards and one parallel, alongside assorted packs from 2026 Chrome Baseball, Update Series Baseball and Flagship Football. Its detailed description also lists 100 sleeves, 25 top loaders, a magnetic case and a binder. Those are kit contents; they do not identify which player appears on the parallel you receive.

For research on one of the included product families, continue to the 2026 Update Series checklist guide. Keep a card from an ordinary product pack separate in your records from the Collector Kit exclusive checklist above.

Compare a complete kit with the singles you want

Start with your collecting goal. If you want only MLB-14 or NFL-16, compare offers for that exact card before deciding whether a complete kit suits you. If you also need supplies, count which included items you would actually use. Check holder fit before putting a card into the magnetic case; the card-thickness guide explains how to choose a suitable size.

Before buying, check:

• What is included: a complete sealed kit, a loose exclusive pack, a single card or supplies alone.
• Identity: year, Wave 2, full card code and the pictured version.
• Condition: clear front and back photographs for a single, plus any disclosed damage.
• Timing: whether the offer is a presale and what shipping window the seller states. See the presale buying guide.

The disclosed eBay searches below are research paths, not confirmation that matching items are available. You can also browse our shop for current listings without assuming we stock this kit.

Next step: choose a checklist code, compare photographs and the exact version, then decide whether a single or a complete kit fits your collection. For help organizing the cards afterward, follow our storage guide.
