Topps on Wednesday showed a 1-of-1 Topps NOW card for Harry Kane that holds a piece of the actual card used to announce him as the 2026 Ballon d'Or winner. The card is labeled "Event-Used Announcement Card" and carries the logo of the 70th Ballon d'Or ceremony.

Kane won the award Monday night at the London Palladium, the first English winner since Michael Owen in 2001, finishing ahead of Kylian Mbappé and Lamine Yamal.

Why collectors should care: "Event-used" means the piece inside came from the event itself, not from a jersey or ball. A 1-of-1 tied to the award moment is the kind of card that becomes the reference point for a player's market.
