2026 Topps Black & White MLS Soccer Checklist

MLS stars and emerging players in the Black & White collection

2026 Topps Black & White MLS Soccer brings an 80-card base checklist together with four insert themes and autograph selections. The roster includes current MLS players and names from the league's history, with Lionel Messi, Son Heung-Min, David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimović appearing across the collection.

What's in the checklist

• Base: The numbered base set runs from 1 through 80. Topps marks 21 base entries as rookies, including Cooper Sanchez, Mateo Silvetti, Jude Terry and Adri Mehmeti.
• Inserts: Global Impact has 25 cards, Developmental has 15, Golden Hour has 15 and Flashpoint has five. Their printed checklist prefixes are GI, DV, GH and FP respectively. These are distinct card families, not extra base cards.
• Autographs: Topps lists autograph parallels for 61 base subjects, 18 Global Impact subjects and nine Developmental subjects. The official autograph lists are unnumbered; they do not establish autograph availability for every base or insert card. Golden Hour and Flashpoint are not listed as autograph families in this checklist.

Key rookies and notable subjects

The Developmental checklist focuses on 15 subjects marked as rookies by Topps, including Cooper Sanchez, Hennadii Synchuk, Mateo Silvetti, Jude Terry, Adri Mehmeti and Bryan Zamblé. Flashpoint features Lionel Messi, Son Heung-Min, David Beckham, Adri Mehmeti and Antoine Griezmann. Always distinguish the specific card family when matching a subject.

Grading considerations

Check the card number, design and autograph status before identifying a card. Inspect corners and edges, then use varied lighting to look for surface scratches, scuffs and print marks. Confirm any serial stamp directly on the card rather than inferring it from another version. A checklist identifies a card; it does not establish condition, grade or value. See our grading scale.
