Overview
- Topps activated its Topps NOW program at the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, printing cards in about 90 seconds and rushing them to draftees for live signatures.
- New York Jets edge rusher David Bailey, the No. 2 pick, was the first to receive and sign one of the cards, with many players adding the note “My 1st NFL auto!”
- The cards are available on Topps.com for a 72-hour sales window, with the final print run fixed to the number ordered and base pricing listed at $11.99.
- Collectors can also pull rare autograph versions, including one-of-one cards and low-numbered parallels such as /5 and /10.
- No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza was not at the draft but still received a Topps NOW card as a new Las Vegas Raider, reflecting Topps NOW’s 2016-born model of turning real-time sports moments into print-on-demand keepsakes.
