Topps said a production error left Supernova cards for 23 of 25 players out of 2026 Cosmic Chrome Baseball; only Judge and Soto were packed. Eligible Interstellar Gold /50 base parallels can be submitted for a matching Supernova, with the original card returned.
Topps said on November 9, 2026 that a production error in 2026 Topps Cosmic Chrome Baseball left Supernova cards for 23 of 25 players out of the product, even though those cards were listed in the published odds. Only Aaron Judge and Juan Soto Supernovas were included.
Collectors who own an Interstellar Gold /50 base parallel of an affected player can email the player name, serial number, and clear front and back photos to 2026supernovachase@collectfanatics.com. After verification, Topps returns the original card with the matching Supernova. Each eligible Gold /50 may be used once, including after a later change of ownership. Gold /50 autographs are not eligible.
Supernova cards feed the Black Hole program: the first collector to redeem ten Supernovas of the same player can receive that player's 1/1 Black Hole Autograph. Topps will mark used Gold /50 serials on the Black Hole site.
