2026 Pro Set Metal Football Hobby Box
What are these options?
- Hobby Box
- The full-size box sold through card shops rather than big-box stores. It has the most packs and the best odds, and most modern hobby boxes guarantee at least one autograph or memorabilia card. Pack and card counts vary by product line. Older listings sometimes call this a wax box.
- Hobby Jumbo Box
- More cards in fewer, oversized packs than a regular hobby box, usually with extra guaranteed hits. It suits collectors who want volume and hits in one buy. Topps calls this tier HTA, short for Home Team Advantage, its hobby-store program.
- Cases
- The factory-sealed carton a product ships in, holding a set number of boxes. A full case is the whole carton; an inner case is a smaller sealed block from inside it. Case buyers get untouched pack sequencing and a lower price per box. Some rare cards are seeded about once per case, which is what collectors mean by a case hit.

Frequently asked
Who's 2026 Pro Set Metal for?
For collectors who want hits without Cup money. Figure on an auto or relic every box or two, with rookies you'll actually recognize.
What's the main draw of 2026 Pro Set Metal Football?
It's the autographs from top college prospects like CJ Carr, Bryce Underwood, Ashton Jeanty, and Dante Moore, printed on metal cards using the classic 1989 and 1990 Pro Set designs. Unlike most current football releases chasing NFL rookies, this one targets college football collectors and transfer portal storylines.
Should I buy a hobby box or jumbo box?
Hobby boxes have 5 autographs per box at a lower price point. Jumbo boxes deliver 8 autographs plus 2 exclusive Red, White, and Blue cards per box. If you're chasing the RWB parallels, jumbo is mandatory since they don't appear in hobby boxes at all.
What are the Red, White, and Blue cards?
RWB cards are exclusive to jumbo boxes, appearing 2 per box. They come in both base and autograph versions with an Americana aesthetic on the 1989 and 1990 designs.
What's the Past Portal insert?
It's a fun insert that imagines what college legends like Terry Bradshaw, Tim Tebow, and Bo Jackson would have looked like if they'd used the modern transfer portal to attend rival universities. Collectors chase the autographed versions and the mind-bending tag lines.
Are there any other notable inserts besides autographs?
Yes. Pure Greatness and Pure Pairings are printed on acetate stock with unique layouts. Pro Set Power features big hitters with cartoon speech bubbles. Frenetic Autographs have a colorful, chaotic design. New Kid in Town spotlights transfer-portal prospects with cityscape backgrounds.
Who are the key signers in this product?
The confirmed autograph signers include Ashton Jeanty, Bryce Underwood, CJ Carr, Dante Moore, Drew Mestemaker, Jayden Maiava, Lamar 'Bo' Jackson, LaNorris Sellers, Leonard Moore, and Malachi Toney. Most are college prospects or recent transfers.
How many cards are in each box?
Hobby boxes have 10 cards per box (5 autographs, 5 base/parallels). Jumbo boxes have 17 cards per box (8 autographs, 7 base/parallels, plus 2 RWB exclusives).
What's special about the card stock?
The cards are printed on metal stock, which gives them a premium feel and durability compared to standard cardstock. Some inserts like Pure Greatness and Pure Pairings are printed on acetate, which requires careful handling to avoid scratches.
When did 2026 Pro Set Metal come out?
