Topps Collector Celebration Day 2026 NFL Draft

Topps is bringing collectors directly onto the field for a defining trading card moment at the 2026 NFL Draft.

Topps Collector Celebration Day debuts as a one-day, fan-first event built entirely around trading cards—how they’re collected, shared, and experienced. As Topps officially re-enters the football card space, this moment connects the energy of the Draft with the rituals and emotion of The Hobby.

This is a celebration of The Hobby at the Draft. Bring your cards and join the fun.*

*Bringing Cards? Please enter from the South or West Premium Credential Entries between 9 AM and 1 PM

What Is Topps Collector Celebration Day?

Topps Collector Celebration Day is a live, on-field trading card experience. It sits within the NFL Draft’s Collector Destination and is designed to bring The Hobby into a physical space—where cards aren’t just opened, but traded, talked about, and remembered.

This is where collectors meet. Where stories behind cards are shared. Where a pull becomes a memory, and a trade becomes part of your collection’s history.

Fans can rip packs, trade on the field, connect with hobby shops, and take part in programming that ties the Draft directly to collecting culture.

Additional pack giveaways throughout the day keep the momentum going, turning the field into a live ripping floor.

Athlete Appearances and Live Programming

Player appearances and live discussions bring collectors closer to the names on their cards, connecting what’s pulled from a pack to the people behind it.

Trading and Hobby Exploration

This is the core of the day.

The field becomes a live trading environment: collectors bring their cards, make deals, tell stories, and reshape their collections in real time. Hobby shops and partners will be on-site, but the real action happens between collectors.

Bring your cards. This is where they matter.

Giveaways and Fan Experiences

Beyond the product, fans gain access to moments that make collecting personal, shared experiences, turning cards into something more than objects.
