Wanted: Fourteen 2026 Topps Series 1 Cards

Last night, I finally got around to sorting my base cards from both the jumbo box and the Target packs that I bought. And sure enough, I did not manage to get a complete set.

Shocker.

I now have 336 of the 350 cards that comprise of 2026 Topps Series 1. I am 14 cards short.

FOURTEEN!!!

For every base card that will eventually be going into the 6-inch binder for 2026 (haven't bought that yet...give me some time...), I had just as many doubles. 

I will still be buying S1 product, especially when the Super Boxes make show up at the big box stores, so eventually, I should manage to complete this set. But you know me and patience when it comes to this Hobby...

So what cards am I missing? After looking up the checklist on the Trading Card Database, I am missing the following cards:

For those of you who can't see the picture:

• #2 Daulton Varsho, Toronto  Blue Jays
• #38 AL Home Run Leaders (Judge, Caminero, Raleigh)
• #90 Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Los Angeles Dodgers
• #96 Corey Seager, Texas Rangers
• #115 Royce Lewis, Minnesota Twins
• #135 Alex Bregman, Boston Red Sox
• #152 CJ Abrams, Washington Nationals
• #190 Michael Wacha, Kansas City Royals
• #191 Mauricio Dubón, Houston Astros
• #239 Devin Williams, New York Yankees
• #256 Los Angeles Dodgers Team Card
• #280 Pedro Pagés, St. Louis Cardinals
• #306 Spencer Schwellenbach, Atlanta Braves Future Stars
• #321 Pierson Ohl, Minnesota Twins RC

Good news: I have all the Cubs cards (okay, not counting Bregman). When going through the cards upon opening packs, I thought I'd be at least missing Nico Hoerner #5, but I have it. So we're good. Also have one card of the Cubs' only RC, Owen Cassie, but he's now with the Marlins...

Yamamato's card is the only one I'm worried about cost wise. I could go back to Chicagoland Sports Cards to see if they have singles (they did, but they wouldn't take them out during the hustle and bustle of Hobby Rip Night). But who knows, I'll probably just buy packs until I have the cards in hand. But however I go about it, the hunt is on.

An "Adventures in Trading Post" will be coming soon as I've just mailed out my first trade for insert cards for this series. Watch this space.

Sincerely,
