It has only been 24 hours, but we have already seen some fairly large sales from the newly released 2026 Topps Flagship Football. The usual suspects are showing up with case hits and top rookie autographs making up the top 5.
Without further ado, let’s dive into the early top five sales from the first Flagship football productfrom Topps in over a decade.
5) 2026 Topps Flagship Football Fernando Mendoza First Signature Blue Ink
Card Notes:The First Signatures are on-card and the more desirable of the rookie autographs in 2026 Topps Flagship. The blue ink is the “base” version with gold ink (limited to 50 copies) and red ink (limited to 5 copies) the rarer parallels. Obviously, Fernando Mendoza is the biggest rookie chase in the product and his cards will command a premium.
Other copies have sold for less throughout the first 24 hours, with some copies as low as $1,300. The Gold and Red copies from the First Signatures set should do very well at auction in the coming days and weeks.
4) 2026 Topps Flagship Caleb Williams All Kings SSP
Card Notes: All Kings made their way to 2026 Topps Flagship Football. The All Kings set is the most sought-after case hit in Flagship products across baseball and basketball. The highly anticipated SSP brings collectible cache to the football side after debuting in Premier League Flagship earlier this month. Caleb Williams has had one of the hottest markets in preseason, with expectations sky-high after a surprise run to the NFL Playoffs last year with some late-season heroics.
Granted, when you see No. 3 on the list, you may be wondering how Caleb Williams and No. 3 sold for the same amount.
3) 2026 Topps Flagship Football Jahmyr Gibbs All Kings SSP
Card Notes: As you can see, a Jahmyr Gibbs All Kings sold for the same amount as a Caleb Williams on the same day. I’m not one to tell people how to sell, but whoever sold the Williams probably left some money on the table. However, it does show the appeal of the All Kings set that Jahmyr Gibbs is selling for comparable amounts to some of the most sought-after quarterbacks in the league.
2) 2026 Topps Flagship Football Kenyon Sadiq Rookie Real One Autograph Black Parallel /10
Card Notes:Rookie Tight Ends don’t tend to have much of a market, but here we are with Kenyon Sadiq with the second-highest sale on release day. Sadiq, the highly-touted prospect out of Oregon, should eventually turn into a premier pass-catching tight end in the league, but rookie tight ends have traditionally taken a while to get going in the league even if Brock Bowers, Colston Loveland, and others recently have bucked the trend.
Will Sadiq be good enough for his market to overcome the rookie tight end dynamic? Possibly! Will he be good enough to elevate the Jets? Baby steps.
1) 2026 Topps Flagship Football Josh Allen All Kings SSP
Card Notes: Josh Allen comes out swinging with a big first sale of his All Kings. The Josh Allen All Kings doing 2.5x what the Caleb Williams did definitely shows what a value the Williams was. Allen has proven his market doesn’t even need a Super Bowl win for collectors to pay seven figures for his cards, so it is unsurprising that his All Kings is the top sale out of the gate.
We will check back later on as more sales hit the market.
