Release status, October 26: Topps has confirmed the date, 200-character count and preview images. The complete Sapphire-specific numbered card checklist has not yet been confirmed. The September 30 Chrome checklist is a separate release and should not be mistaken for a verified Sapphire checklist. No guaranteed autograph per box has been announced.

Product configuration

What is inside a Sapphire box?

Hobby box

8 packs × 4 cards = 32 total cards. The announced box break specifies four exclusive parallels per box. Ten boxes make a case. Signatures are possible, but not promised in every box.

How Sapphire differs

Topps describes Sapphire as a 200-character release with the distinctive blue Sapphire design. The exact character list and numbering are not yet independently confirmed against a complete official Sapphire checklist. The Sapphire rainbow, Hidden Gems, Kyber Carvings and special autograph versions are the main differences from the September 30 release.

Pack odds compiled from Checklist Insider and HobbyMonitor. Pack odds refer to the parallel category across all base subjects, not to obtaining one particular character. The four-parallel box break does not mean four serial-numbered cards.

Premium inserts & signatures

Hidden Gems, Kyber Carvings and autographs

Hidden Gems

Five subjects are reported: Han Solo (HG-1), Leia Organa (HG-2), Grand Admiral Thrawn (HG-3), Kylo Ren (HG-4) and Yoda (HG-5).

Base Emerald: 1:237 packs. Onyx: 1:1,209. Ruby: 1:2,582. Padparadscha 1/1: 1:28,400.

Kyber Carvings

New for 2026. Five lightsaber-wielding characters appear with Kyber-crystal artwork. Topps also previews extremely rare signed versions.

Regular insert: 1:477 packs. Autograph: 1:2,883. Autograph Padparadscha: 1:11,533. The complete character-number list still needs manufacturer confirmation.

Base character autographs

Reported at 1:20 packs, with Red Sapphire autographs at 1:64 and Padparadscha autograph 1/1 at 1:317 packs. These are odds for the respective autograph categories, not a guaranteed signature in each box.

Duo and trio autographs

Duo autographs: 1:607 packs; Padparadscha 1:2,621. Trio autographs: 1:721; Padparadscha 1:3,035. Specific signer combinations should not be assumed to match every September Chrome autograph until a Sapphire checklist is published.
