Pete Crow-Armstrong’s Historic Three-Homer Game Gets Topps NOW Card With 1-of-1 Autograph Chase

Pete Crow-Armstrong Card

Pete Crow-Armstrong’s historic three-home run performance for the Chicago Cubs is already getting the Topps NOW treatment, complete with a chance to land an extremely limited autograph. The new 2026 MLB Topps NOW Pete Crow-Armstrong Card #612 celebrates his August 29 performance against the Cincinnati Reds, when the Cubs outfielder hit three home runs and drove in six runs during Chicago’s 17-5 victory. It was the first three-homer game of Crow-Armstrong’s career.

At 24 years and 157 days old, Crow-Armstrong also became the youngest player in Cubs franchise history to hit three home runs in a game. The front of the card plays on his initials with the headline “THREE-C-A: YOUNGEST CUBS PLAYER WITH 3-HR GAME.”

The standard open-edition card is priced at $11.99, but this Topps NOW release has a much bigger chase hidden within orders. Topps is randomly inserting autograph redemption cards numbered to 10, five and just one copy, giving collectors a shot at a 1-of-1 Crow-Armstrong autograph. Topps has even provided a look at the one-of-one autographed version, which features Crow-Armstrong’s signature across the front of the card along with a 1/1 designation and gold-patterned design elements.

Collectors can also receive numbered foil parallels in place of the regular base card. The standard parallel lineup consists of Gold Foil /50, Orange Foil /25, Black Foil /10, Red Foil /5 and a one-of-one FoilFractor. Additional Chrome cards can unlock if the print run reaches certain levels. At 50,000 cards, Chrome parallels numbered to /99 and /50 become available along with lower-numbered versions. A print run of at least 100,000 unlocks Chrome cards numbered to /25, /10 and /5 plus a 1/1 SuperFractor, while still higher sales totals can unlock Opal Chrome parallels and eventually a 1/1 White OpalFractor Chrome.

Topps is also offering quantity discounts. Five cards cost $49.99, 10 cost $89.99 and 20 cost $169.99. As with other Topps NOW releases, the final print run will not be announced until after the ordering period closes.

The Pete Crow-Armstrong Topps NOW Card #612 is available only for a short window beginning August 30 and ending August 31. Topps says orders are expected to ship 10 to 15 business days after the sales window expires.
