2026 Topps NOW Argentina Lionel Messi Final Farewell Pack Soccer Checklist

A two-card Messi pack built around farewell and career-stat designs

Overview

2026 Argentina Topps NOW Lionel Messi Final Farewell Pack is a print-on-demand release. Each two-card pack pairs a Farewell base card, parallel or autograph with a variation, SSP or variation autograph. The order window runs from October 9 to October 16, 2026, and Topps estimates US shipping 20-30 business days after it closes; neither is a physical release date.

What's in the checklist

• Base: One Farewell design anchors the base slot.
• Parallels: Green Foil /99, Gold Foil /50, Orange Foil /25, Black Foil /10 and Red Foil /5, plus a 1/1 FoilFractor, apply to the Farewell base card.
• Variations: All-Time Assists (VAR1, 1:2 packs), All-Time Appearances (VAR2, 1:3) and All-Time Goals (VAR3, 1:6), plus The Final Farewell SSP (1:200).
• Autographs: Four one-of-one signed versions cover the Farewell card and the three stat variations.

Notable subjects

Lionel Messi appears on every card in the collection.

Grading considerations

Identify the exact design, foil and signature version before assessing condition. Inspect reflective surfaces under angled light, and judge centering, edges and corners separately from rarity. A checklist confirms which card you have, not its condition or grade. See our grading scale.

Topps' product page lists the checklist without printed card numbers, so card numbers are left blank. VAR1, VAR2, VAR3 and SSP are the labels on the product page; they have not been checked against card backs.

The product page also describes Chrome and Opal Chrome parallels that unlock only if a Topps NOW card's print run reaches set thresholds. Those are conditional and are not listed as confirmed parallels for this pack.

Odds are as published and apply to packs ordered, not to individual subjects. The product page was read on October 12, 2026.
