The complete checklist is here, and as of release day, so are the official Topps pack odds for all six formats: Hobby, Jumbo, Value, Mega, Breaker Delight, and Fanatics.
✅ Pack odds are officially out. Topps published pull odds for 2026 Chrome on release day, and every table below now carries them. The printable PDF has the same numbers plus the full card-by-card checklist — base, inserts, autographs, and the complete parallel rainbow.

| Value Box (Retail) | Retail | RayWave, Red White & Blue, and Baseball Seams Refractors are exclusive here. Retail Rookie Autos 1:203 packs. |
| Breaker Delight | Breaker-focused | Loaded odds — numbered base parallels hit every few packs and Rookie Autos fall 1:2. Exclusive Geometric and Tie-Dye Refractors. |
| Fanatics | Direct | Exclusive Topps Refractor (1:1) and Blue Topps Refractor parallels, plus Fanatical inserts (1:60) and Fanatics Authentics redemptions. |
Formats and odds per the official Topps odds sheet (product codes 6623–6633). Configurations per the Topps product page.
