- The 30-card base set features career-spanning photography, refractor parallels, rare on-card autographs, and authentic concert-worn clothing relics.

Global superstar Jennie has partnered with collectible company Topps to release “2026 Topps Chrome x Jennie.” The release marks the first standalone Topps Chrome collection designed around an individual K-pop soloist.
Pre-orders for the limited-edition hobby boxes opened on August 20, 2026, on the official Topps online store. The collection features a 30-card base set with high-fashion photography documenting key eras of Jennie’s career, from her rise in BLACKPINK to her solo milestones under her label OA.
Collectors can hunt for a full rainbow of refractor parallels, insert sets like “Chromium Close-Ups” and “Monochrome Mementos,” rare on-card autographs, and pieces cut from her stage-worn concert attire.
The set also highlights Jennie’s solo album Ruby, which won K-Pop Album of the Year at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards, through special Ruby Short Print cards.
Each hobby box delivers two packs containing five cards each, offering fans two parallels, two inserts, and six base cards. Boxes will officially ship to buyers in October 2026.
This trading card debut comes during a record-setting solo run for Jennie. In summer 2026, she became the first K-pop soloist to headline New York’s Governors Ball Music Festival before leading stages at Denmark’s Roskilde Festival, Poland’s Open’er Festival, and Spain’s Mad Cool Festival. Her recent music catalog has also achieved massive success, driven by singles such as “Mantra,” “Less Than a Lover,” and the chart-topping hit “One of the Girls.”
The collaboration continues a massive branding year for the singer. It follows closely after Jennie expanded her Adidas Originals partnership as co-creator of a new collection and comes right after she fronted Ray-Ban’s back-to-school campaign.
For Topps, this drop builds on its broader cultural crossover strategy, echoing moves from earlier this summer when Yandel teamed up with Topps for an exclusive MLB trading card collaboration.
The brand has previously created music crossovers with artists like Travis Scott and Snoop Dogg, alongside athletic campaigns with figures like Lewis Hamilton and Zack Wheeler.
Takeaways
Jennie’s partnership with Topps bridges the gap between traditional American sports card collecting and the global passion of K-pop fandom.
While photo cards have long served as the centerpiece of K-pop album culture, bringing a superstar like Jennie into the Topps Chrome flagship gives fans access to numbered parallels, certified autographs, and authentic concert-worn memorabilia.
Will Jennie’s Chrome release lead Topps to develop full collectible card sets for other top K-pop artists? Could music-focused trading cards become a standard promotional channel for global album rollouts?
