2026 Topps MLB x KAWS Baseball Checklist

Baseball stars, original artwork and signatures in an artist-led collaboration

2026 Topps MLB x KAWS puts artist Brian Donnelly's KAWS style on MLB cards. The 146-card checklist covers 60 base cards, the 25-card KAWS Creation insert, ten Companion short-print art cards, five Companion autographs signed by KAWS, and 46 player autographs. No official physical release date has been verified; October 5, 2026 has been reported secondhand.

What's in the checklist

• Base: 60 MLB stars, legends and prospects
• Parallels: base cards come unnumbered and in Aqua /199, Blue /150, Green /99, Purple /75, Gold /50, Orange /25, Black /10, Red /5 and FoilFractor 1/1. Inserts and autographs have their own, shorter lists
• Inserts: KAWS Creation (25 cards, FoilFractor 1/1 parallel) and ten KAWS Companion SP art cards, which Topps lists by code only
• Autographs: 41 base autographs issued only in Gold /50, Orange /25, Black /10, Red /5 and FoilFractor 1/1; five on-card autographs; and five KAWS Companion SSP autographs signed by KAWS in Black /10, Red /5 and FoilFractor 1/1

Key subjects

Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, Derek Jeter, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki sign on-card. Roman Anthony, Jac Caglianone, Konnor Griffin, Nick Kurtz and Jacob Misiorowski are among the younger names in the base set.

Grading considerations

Art-heavy designs make border centering easy to judge, and smooth surfaces show scuffs, so check centering, corners, edges and surfaces under good light. Before submitting, confirm whether a card is a player autograph, a Companion art card or a KAWS autograph, and which parallel it is. See our pricing.
