2026 Topps Flagship Auto 75th Anniversary Parallel Colson Montgomery RC /75 #157
Colson Montgomery's hard-signed rookie autograph on the most purpose-built parallel in the 2026 Topps lineup. This is the 2026 Topps Series 1 Flagship Real One Autograph 75th Anniversary Parallel, #157, numbered to just /75 — exactly 75 copies exist, a print run engineered to mirror the milestone year itself.
Montgomery came into 2026 as an MLB Network Top-100 player after a breakout rookie campaign that saw him slug 21 home runs in his first 71 major league games — the most ever by a primary shortstop through that many games. The 6'3" left-handed hitter has carried that power into 2026, ranking among the top slugging shortstops in the American League while drawing Gold Glove-caliber marks in the field, sitting third in all of baseball in outs above average.
The parallel itself is a collector's sweet spot. The Flagship Real One 75th Anniversary Auto is the anniversary-inscribed tier of Topps' most coveted hard-signed auto program — on-card ink, not a sticker. The 75th card of the run carries a special anniversary inscription, making the entire /75 run appointment viewing for rainbow builders and short-print hunters alike. Hobby box pull odds for the /75 anniversary parallel sit at roughly 1:3,861 packs — this card earns its seat at the table.

The 2026 Topps flagship year carries the weight of 75 years of Topps Baseball history — a diamond-anniversary design, a new Topps 75 logo, and a parallel lineup built specifically to celebrate the number. A /75 Real One RC auto of the South Side's most electrifying young shortstop is the convergence of player upside and set significance that collectors look back on in five years and wish they'd moved faster on.
