Topps Chrome Sapphire is the most exclusive version of Chrome: the same checklist, printed with the blue crystal finish Topps calls “Sapphire Chrome technology”, in a limited run sold on topps.com. Each box holds 4 cards per pack, 8 packs and one autograph.
Same design, different stock. Card #43 in Chrome 2025 is #43 in Sapphire 2025; what changes is the blue background and the colour ladder.
Its own numbering. Sapphire parallels do not share print runs with Chrome's: it is a separate rainbow.
One insert found only here. Sapphire Selections is not pulled from regular Chrome, per the official 2025 guide.
Sapphire UFC 2025: Ilia Topuria's first
Released on 25 July 2025 with a 200-card base set and, in Topps' words, “seven parallels”. Ilia Topuria appears three times on the official checklist:
Base #43, with its ladder from Green /75 to Padparadscha 1/1.
Sapphire Selections #SEL-14, the exclusive insert, with numbered tiers down to a SuperFractor 1/1.

Sapphire UFC 2026: base, Infinite and autograph
The 2026 edition arrived on 5 June. The official odds sheet sets the base ladder: Sapphire 3:1, Yellow 1:6, Gold 1:9, Orange 1:17, Black 1:41, Red 1:81 and Padparadscha 1:405. Ilia Topuria is card #1 of the set.
Infinite #IN-3: the Sapphire 2026 case hit according to Topps; the odds sheet assigns it no parallels.
Chrome Lineage Autographs Sapphire #CCA-IT: 1:96 packs, with Orange 1:114, Red 1:559 and Padparadscha 1:2,792.
What Padparadscha means
Topps calls the Sapphire 1/1 Padparadscha. It is the name of an extremely rare sapphire, pink to orange in colour, named in Sri Lanka after the lotus blossom. In Sapphire it takes the place the SuperFractor holds in Chrome.
How to read this list
Cards without a print run are the unnumbered Sapphire, the product's regular card.
“No photo” means the piece is on the checklist and we have not seen it yet. The Sapphire 1/1s are also among the Ilia Topuria 1/1 cards.
