Topps NOW Makes History With Real-Time NFL Draft Autographs
Topps NOW made history at the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh by printing and signing official trading cards live on national television.

The cards, including rare one‑of‑one parallels, were offered on Topps.com for a 72‑hour window, marking the brand’s first real‑time draft release since its 2025 Topps Chrome Football relaunch. The initiative underscores Topps’ renewed NFL licensing and its push toward instant, collectible experiences.
