KAWS: TOPPS x MLB

The duo announced a new partnership with Topps to release a line of ultra-rare baseball cards, expanding beyond the previously revealed capsule wardrobe and gear collection.

Judge, Ohtani Headline Ultra-Rare KAWS x Topps Card Set, Dropping July 20
The set's crown jewels are two extremely limited 1/1 signature cards: New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge and Los Angeles Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani. Rounding out the KAWS editions are cards for Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler and Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts — both franchises also featured in the accompanying merch collection.
The set also extends beyond the Yankees and Dodgers lineup, adding the Cincinnati Reds' shortstop-third baseman Elly De La Cruz and Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes. Adding another layer of rarity, select cards will randomly include a KAWS signature, upping the ante for collectors chasing the full set.
The cards launch July 20th, 2026, alongside the rest of the Complex x Fanatics merch collection.
