2026 Topps Baseball Series 2 Mega Box
Munetaka Murakami's first Topps flagship rookie card is the single reason serious collectors are tearing open every pack of 2026 Topps Baseball Series 2 — and a Mega Box is the most accessible way to start the hunt right now.
Each Mega Box delivers 14 packs of 14 cards — 196 cards total — and comes loaded with 4 exclusive Crackle parallels as guaranteed hits unique to this format. The Mega box introduces Pink, Blue, and Green Crackle parallels, plus Crackle versions for select inserts including Stars of MLB and Titans of the Game. The 350-card base set continues from Series 1, picking up at card #351 , featuring players who switched teams in the offseason, rookies who have taken the league by storm early in the season, Future Stars, league leaders, and team cards.
The rookie class is one of the deepest in recent flagship memory. Series 2 features one of the year's strongest rookie classes, highlighted by Roman Anthony, Trey Yesavage, Tatsuya Imai, Munetaka Murakami, and Jac Caglianone. Rookies who appear in the Base Card 1952 Variation checklist get their only 1952-design card of the flagship year — for Series 2 that includes Munetaka Murakami, Chase DeLauter, and Sal Stewart, among others. Rookie Short Prints include Kevin McGonigle, JJ Wetherholt, Carson Benge, and Justin Crawford.
The autograph chase is equally loaded. Cover Athletes Autographs feature on-card ink from Clayton Kershaw, Mike Trout, and Shohei Ohtani, taken from the original photograph that appeared on the hobby box. World Champion Autograph Cards celebrate the 2025 World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers, including ink from Hyeseong Kim and Shohei Ohtani. The Base 1952 Variation Autographs line returns with rare Red Ink versions. Among the broader autograph chases are Cal Raleigh, Paul Skenes, and Ichiro.
