2026 Topps Royalty Tennis: The Complete Odds, Parallel, and Print Run Breakdown

2026 Topps Royalty Tennis releases November 13, and Topps' odds sheet, dated October 9, is already up on its product page. It's one column, 110 lines, and no print runs. The one-of-one lines do most of the work. They pin the sheet at 11,468 boxes, and from there we can test the print runs, which Topps hasn't published, estimate the cards that come without a run, and see how much of each ladder actually makes it into boxes.

The box

Royalty Tennis is one pack per box, 10 cards, with six autographs, according to Topps' launch page. A case holds four boxes. Topps took preorders through a draw that closed October 13: $579.99 a box, limited to four per customer, or $2,319.99 for a sealed case. The box is marked hobby only, and the box itself notes that boxes with a special insert may hold fewer cards.

Since a box is a single pack, the sheet's odds are odds per box. Add them all up and they come to about 11 cards a box: the base card, about 1.3 base parallels, about 6.6 signed cards and about 2.1 relics. That's a card more than the box holds, and the extra comes from the short lines. Fifteen lines besides the base card are 1:4 or shorter, and this sheet rounds odds to the nearest whole number, so a 1:2 can stand for anything from about 1:1.5 to 1:2.5. Read every line at the long end of its rounding, with the base card still one a box, and the total comes to about 9.9, under the 10 the box holds.

The checklist

Not counting parallels, Topps' checklist runs 1,047 cards across 27 subsets, and Topps tags 154 of them as rookies. It's almost all hits: 294 autographs, 284 autograph relics and 364 relics, next to a 100-card base set and a five-card insert.

The base set runs from Novak Djokovic at #1 to Rafael Nadal at #100. Thirty-two are rookies (#60 and #62 to #92), among them João Fonseca, Emerson Jones, Hannah Klugman, Mika Stojsavljevic and Dino Prizmic. The last eight are retired greats: Bjorn Borg, Boris Becker, Chris Evert, Andy Murray, Billie Jean King, Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf and Nadal.

The autographs:

• Imperial Ink, 63 cards, the biggest of the autograph-only sets. Current players share it with retired names including Agassi, Murray, Nadal, Billie Jean King, Evert, Martina Navratilova, Ivan Lendl, Kim Clijsters, Lindsay Davenport and Michael Chang.
• Superior Signatures, 49 cards, with Borg, Graf, Pete Sampras, John McEnroe, Stefan Edberg, Martina Hingis and Tracy Austin alongside Aryna Sabalenka, Daniil Medvedev and Mirra Andreeva.
• Pursuit of Greatness, 46 cards, mostly younger players, including Coco Gauff, Ben Shelton, Learner Tien and five rookies.
• Rookie Autographs, 29 cards, all rookies.
• Royal Decree, 25 cards: Agassi, Andy Roddick, Borg, Becker, Graf, McEnroe, Maria Sharapova, Djokovic, Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz among them.
• Dual Autographs, 25 pairs, from Agassi and Sampras, Lendl and McEnroe, and Alcaraz and Nadal to Tien and Fonseca.
• The Time Is Now (20 cards) and The Coronation (14).
• Quad Player Autograph Booklets, 10 cards, including Agassi, Borg, McEnroe and Lendl on one and Iga Swiatek, Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina and Jasmine Paolini on another.
• Triple Autographs, 10 cards, including Alcaraz, Nadal and Djokovic together.
• Welcome to the Club, three dual autographs pairing Djokovic with Evert, Navratilova and Graf.

The autograph relics are Racket Knob Autographs (83 cards, the biggest hit set in the product, with 24 rookies), Regalia Relic Signatures (56), Triumph Relic Signatures (52), Superior Relic Signatures (36, with Djokovic, Alcaraz, Swiatek, Sharapova and Becker), the Autograph Jumbo Relic Booklets (31, with Djokovic, Nadal, Alcaraz, Sabalenka and Gauff) and Rookie Relic Autographs (26, all rookies).

The relics are Racket Knob Relics (81), Star Relics (57), On Court Shoe Relics (47), Regalia Relics (46), The Grip (46), Relic Jewels (39), Rookie Jumbo Relics (28, all rookies) and Prodigious Pairings, 20 dual relics such as Djokovic and Alcaraz, Madison Keys and Jessica Pegula, and Tien and Fonseca. The one insert is Liquid Silver, five cards: Djokovic, Alcaraz, Nadal, Gauff and Sabalenka.

The base ladder

Topps hasn't published print runs for Royalty Tennis. Odds are per box:

The Blue, Gold and Green runs come from the hit sets, where the cards Topps shows on its product page include a Blue at /25, a Gold at /10 and two Greens at /5. Topps hasn't shown a numbered base-card parallel, but the base-set odds line up with the same runs. The Platinum reads as a 1/1 from the odds, shown further down. Our data has the base card at /99, Red at /75 and Purple at /50, but no Topps page or card we've seen confirms those yet, and at 1:1 and 1:2 the odds are too short to settle them.

The hit ladders

The hit sets use the same colors. "Base" is the set's own version with no parallel. The runs in the headers come from the cards Topps shows: a Blue at /25 (Imperial Ink), a Gold at /10 (Rookie Autographs) and Greens at /5 (Superior Relic Signatures and Triumph Relic Signatures). Topps hasn't shown a relic-only card or a Platinum, so for the relic sets and every Platinum the runs are read from the odds, which fit them. Red and Purple carry no run here because none is confirmed. Odds are per box.

The autographs:

The autograph relics:

The relics:

On Court Shoe Relics has two Platinum 1/1s per player, a Brand Logo and a Tongue Logo, each at 1:244. Regalia Relics and Prodigious Pairings have full ladders on the sheet too, and their odds fit the same runs; they're further down. Liquid Silver falls 1:122, and its Liquid Gold parallel 1:5,734.

The base versions here are numbered too. The cards Topps shows on its product page include three of them: a Royal Decree Steffi Graf at 24/25, a Brandon Nakashima and Alex Michelsen Dual Autograph at 03/25, and a Belinda Bencic, Barbora Krejčíková and Katerina Siniakova Triple Autograph at 05/10. The rest of Topps' cards fit the colored tiers: an Imperial Ink Blue Andre Agassi at 12/25, a Rookie Autographs Gold Emerson Jones at 01/10, and Green autograph relics of Maria Sharapova and Lorenzo Musetti at 2/5.

For the other base versions, our data has runs of /99, /75, /50, /25 and /5, and a 1/1 for Welcome to the Club. None of those are on a Topps page yet, and the odds test them below.

How many boxes the sheet covers

The Platinum lines are the key. Multiply each set's Platinum odds by its number of cards and you get nearly the same number every time:

That's what one copy per card looks like, and it has to be one. At two copies a card the count would double to about 22,900 boxes, and the Green /5 lines would then put far more Greens in boxes than exist. Imperial Ink's Blue at 1:7, for one, would come to about 3,277 cards against a run of 1,575.

The spread from 11,454 to 11,500 is rounding, and this sheet rounds to the nearest whole number. Rounding every line up, or every line down, leaves no box count that fits all the Platinum lines at once. Rounded to the nearest, 11,468 divided by 46 is 249.3, which shows up as 1:249. Taken together, the Platinum lines leave room for 11,466 to 11,469 boxes. Welcome to the Club, three cards at 1:3,823, narrows that to 11,468 or 11,469 if each is a 1/1, and 11,468 is the only count in the range that splits into whole cases of four. The Liquid Gold agrees: 1:5,734 is exactly two copies in 11,468 boxes. The Platinums for Regalia Relics (46 cards at 1:249) and Prodigious Pairings (20 at 1:573) land on the same count, which is why we read them as 1/1s too.

So the sheet covers 11,468 boxes, or 2,867 cases. At 10 cards a box, that's 114,680 cards. Six autographs a box makes 68,808 signed cards. The sheet's signed lines add up to more, about 75,600, the same rounding gap as in the box.

The base card doesn't quite square with that. Our data has it numbered to 99, which would make 9,900 base cards, enough for about 86 percent of 11,468 boxes. Topps would still print that as 1:1, since 1.16 rounds to 1, so it isn't a contradiction, but either a base card isn't in every box or the base run is higher than 99. A serial number on a base card would settle it.

Not every numbered card is in a box

At 11,468 boxes, every Platinum in the base set and the hit sets is in boxes, except in the two Racket Knob sets (more on those below). Below that, the odds come up a little short, set after set. Across the hit sets, here's what the odds put in boxes against what the Blue /25, Gold /10, Green /5 and 1/1 Platinum runs would make if every player had every tier at the full number:

The Gold and Green lines are long enough to read closely, and set by set they put about 94 percent to nearly all of each tier in boxes. Rookie Relic Autographs and the two booklet sets come up shortest, at about 94 percent, and the most complete line is the Pursuit of Greatness Gold, 459 of 460. Topps' note on the sheet says a player being on the checklist doesn't guarantee they appear in every parallel, which would explain a gap like this. In the base set, the Gold (about 956 of 1,000) and Green (about 478 of 500) come in at 96 percent, and the Blue fits /25 within the rounding.

The runs we can't confirm yet, tested the same way:

• The /25 and /5 base versions of The Time Is Now, The Coronation, the two booklet sets, On Court Shoe Relics and The Grip put about 2,216 of 2,340 in boxes, 95 percent, the same fill as the confirmed tiers. That's a good sign those runs are right.
• Purple at /50 fits within the rounding in eight of the ten hit sets that have it. The two that don't are Triumph Relic Signatures and Superior Relic Signatures, at about 88 and 91 percent, though within the rounding both can reach 98 percent, in line with the confirmed tiers.
• Red at /75 (base set, Imperial Ink and Rookie Autographs) sits on lines too short to read, 1:2 to 1:5, but it fits.
• The /75 and /50 base versions of Star Relics, Relic Jewels and Rookie Jumbo Relics fit within the rounding.
• The /99 base versions are the soft spot. Triumph Relic Signatures' falls 1:3. That's about 3,823 of 5,148 in boxes, 74 percent, and even if the true odds were as short as 1:2.5 it would only reach 89 percent. Superior Relic Signatures' at 1:4 comes to about 80 percent (no more than 92). Rookie Relic Autographs' at 1:5 comes to about 89 percent, but within the rounding it can reach 99 percent, close to the rest of its ladder. Until the cards turn up, read /99 on the Triumph and Superior Relic Signatures base versions as a ceiling.

The cards without a run

The base card, Red, Purple and the other base versions. Topps hasn't confirmed a run for any of these, and using 11,468 boxes, here's about how many of each card the odds put in boxes:

Each figure takes the printed odds at face value, with the base card at one a box, and on the short lines the rounding is wide enough that a figure a little over a run in our data, like Superior Signatures' 117 against /99, still fits it.

Regalia Relics and Prodigious Pairings. Topps' sheet has a full ladder for both, and as with the other relic sets, Topps hasn't shown a numbered card from either. Using 11,468 boxes, here's about how many of each card the odds put in boxes:

Those look like the same Blue /25, Gold /10, Green /5 and Platinum 1/1 the other relic sets use, at the same 94 to 100 percent, with base versions of roughly 44 to 50 copies each. They're estimates until Topps or the cards confirm the numbers.

The Racket Knobs. Racket Knob Autographs and Racket Knob Relics show up on the sheet only as Platinum, which reads as a 1/1 everywhere else on the sheet, and the odds fit no more than one copy per card. At 1:145, 79 of the 83 Racket Knob Autographs are in boxes, and at 1:149, 77 of the 81 Racket Knob Relics. Between them, that's about one Racket Knob card every 73 boxes.

Liquid Silver. Topps' sheet gives it no run, and Topps hasn't shown one. At 1:122, about 94 are in boxes, about 19 of each of the five players. The Liquid Gold is a 1/1 in our data, and at 1:5,734 the odds put only two of the five in boxes.

The rarest pulls

The toughest line on the sheet is that Liquid Gold at 1:5,734 boxes, two cards in the whole run.

Next is Welcome to the Club at 1:3,823 boxes, three dual autographs and three copies: Djokovic with Evert, with Navratilova and with Graf. Then 1:1,147 for the Quad Player Autograph Booklet and Triple Autographs Platinums, 10 cards each, and 1:819 for The Coronation Platinum.

The Triple Autographs base version is only /10 and falls 1:119 boxes, which puts about 96 of the 100 in boxes. Counting every version, a Triple Autograph turns up about once every 108 boxes and a Quad booklet about once every 39.

Across the product there are 28 lines that read as one-of-ones, counting both On Court Shoe Relics logos, the two Racket Knob sets, the Regalia Relics and Prodigious Pairings Platinums, and Welcome to the Club and the Liquid Gold. Together the odds put about 1,083 of them in boxes, about one every 11 boxes.

What to watch

Royalty Tennis releases November 13. The things we're watching: Topps confirming the base, Red, Purple and /99 runs, a serial number on a base card, the Triumph Relic Signatures and Superior Relic Signatures base versions in particular, runs for Regalia Relics and Prodigious Pairings, and which two Liquid Gold cards turn up. We'll update this piece if any of that changes.

The full checklist and every parallel with its print run and odds are on the 2026 Topps Royalty Tennis release page, and you can track what you pull in HobbyMonitor Collections.
