2026 Upper Deck 23XI x Space Jam: Bubba Wallace’s Two-Card Crossover

One card features the themed Toyota; the other features Wallace in matching race gear. Together they document a very specific sports-and-film crossover.

We update this release guide as verified product details develop.

Bubba Wallace’s Space Jam-themed No. 23 Toyota is the subject of a two-card Upper Deck e-Pack crossover. The 2026 release pairs a card of the car with a second card of Wallace in his matching helmet and fire suit. That division gives racing collectors two distinct subjects: the special paint scheme and the driver wearing the associated gear. Upper Deck’s announcement

The car card was offered through July 2, followed by the Wallace card from July 2 through July 9. Upper Deck announced parallels and Wallace autographs as additional chases. Those original ordering windows have passed; they describe the releases’ sequence, rather than current e-Pack availability.

A car with a particular anniversary attached

The crossover accompanied Space Jam’s 30th anniversary and the No. 23 Toyota Camry XSE’s planned July 5 appearance at Chicagoland Speedway. The connection is unusually direct: Upper Deck brought its film and racing partners together around one named car and driver, instead of adding a film logo to an otherwise unrelated racing set.

The two cards serve different collecting interests

The car-focused card belongs naturally with special-paint-scheme racing cards. The matching race-gear card puts Wallace at the center, with the autograph chase supplying a separate signature option. The film anniversary is the shared context; the subjects remain different enough for the pair to work as a compact record of the collaboration.

Upper Deck’s separate Skybox Metal Universe Space Jam 30th Anniversary product focuses on Jordan and the film’s characters. The 23XI crossover instead records the moment that anniversary became a NASCAR paint scheme and a driver-specific card release.
