2025-26 Topps Chrome Basketball marks the company’s first licensed standalone Chrome offering since 2008-09, and collectors will get plenty of variety once the product hits store shelves.
Box types for the product will include hobby, jumbo, mega, Fanatics mega, blaster, hanger, Breaker’s Delight, and First Day Issue. Topps will also release a complete factory set and a Sapphire version of the product.
Hobby boxes will include one autograph, while jumbos will have three.
If you are new to the Topps basketball scene, Topps Chrome serves as a premium upgrade to the 2025-26 Topps flagship basketball set printed on a chromium stock. Topps announced the base set will run 299 cards, featuring veterans, rookies, and legends.
All of those cards will be covered by more than four dozen parallels — which are detailed in our guide — including traditional Refractors and the coveted Frozenfractors (/-5) and Superfractors (1/1).
Other Refractor parallels for the set include Prism, Negative, Magenta (/399), Teal (/299), Yellow (/275), Aqua (/199), Blue (/150), Green (/99), Purple (/75), Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Black (/10), and Red (/5).
Collectors will also search for Wave, Blue Wave (/150), Green Wave (/99), Purple Wave (/75), Gold Wave (/50), Orange Wave (/25), Black Wave (/10), and Red Wave (/5) Refractors.
Additional parallels include Pulsar Refractors (Hanger box-exclusives), SkyLight Refractors (Fanatics mega box exclusives), Blue X-Fractors (Mega box exclusives) and Geometric Refractors (Breaker’s Delight-exclusives) in Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Black (/10), Red (/5), and White (/2).
First Day Issue will be a Jumbo-Exclusive, giving the concept its return for the first time since the 2007-08 Stadium Club set. Blaster boxes will feature Red, White, and Blue parallels.
Topps has selected 50 players for base image variations.
Signatures will be plentiful and signed on-card.
The company teased a full rainbow of hard-signed Autograph Refractors, including Blue (/150), Green (/99), Purple (/75), Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Black (/10), Red (/5), and Superfractor (1/1).
Rookies, veterans, and Hall of Famers will be included on the checklist. Signers include rookies Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, and Cedric Coward; veterans Victor Wembanyama, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Chet Holmgren; and Hall of Famers Allen Iverson, Magic Johnson, and Dirk Nowitzki.
On November 21, Topps announced an autograph agreement with Giannis Antetokounmpo and that he would become a late addition to the Topps Chrome checklist. Topps later also announced additions of Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
A new autographed concept will be Stratospheric, which features on-card signatures and players who fly sky-high.
Additional signatures can be found in Future Stars Autographs and Next Stop Signatures.
Another autograph checklist will stretch across both hobby and retail formats. These certified autographs are split, with rookies falling from hobby boxes and veterans falling from retail boxes.
The autograph chase continues with SkyWrite Signatures, which feature players surrounded by clouds, Signature Style, and Chromographs.
One of the top chases, however, will be the Gold NBA Logoman Relics.
Starting this season, the previous year’s MVP, Rookie of the Year, and Defensive Player of the Year will wear special golden Logoman patches on the back of their jersey, some of which are later authenticated and placed into very rare Topps Chrome cards.
Reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle, and Defensive Player of the Year Evan Mobley will have Relic versions (/4) and Autographed Relic versions (1/1) in the product.
Helix, an SSP find that Topps has produced across the sports spectrum, will make a third appearance as part of a basketball Chrome set.
Fanatical inserts, which debuted in 2025 Topps Chrome baseball, will also come to basketball. These SSPs were exclusive to mega boxes and blaster boxes in the baseball set and featured dynamic and emotional photography.
Ultra Violet All-Stars is a hobby-exclusive case-hit, which will feature original artwork on an eccentric design with two images of players.
Other SSPs include: 451, Radiating Rookies, Advisory, Paradox, Let’s Go!, Glass Canvas, Patented, Finals, and Rock Stars, which revitalize a retro theme from 1997-98.
Additional inserts include Youthquake, Sleek Finishers, Destiny, Instinct, Voices, Loading …, Generation Rising, Clutch Gene, Xs & Whoas, Go Time, Ball of Duty, Inspirational, Activators, Serenity, and Tall Tales, which offer the look of a vintage comic book.
Topps Chrome debuted to basketball collectors in 1996-97, right in time to include Kobe Bryant’s rookie card. The company continued a dedicated Chrome release every year through 2008-09 and released Chrome as part of the Topps flagship set in 2009-10, prior to Panini’s takeover of exclusive NBA licensing.
Topps revitalized the brand in 2023-24 and 2024-25 as an unlicensed product, and Chrome will soon make its triumphant return with full licensing now that Topps has regained a deal with the NBA.

The fine print: Please read the entire listing before purchasing. All cards shipped via USPS. Hits will be in top-loaders, rookies will at minimum be sleeved, all other cards will ship in a team bag. Per eBay rules, there are no refunds once the live break starts. Our shipping week goes Friday through Thursday, we process everything Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and USPS picks up next business day. We do combine shipping all week to help you save money! If you are unable to view the live break, the video will be uploaded on YouTube shortly after completion. If a card is pulled that has multiple players on it, whoever has 51% ownership of the teams will win the card. If nobody has 51% of the teams associated with the card, we will use random.org at the end of the break to determine the winner. This listing is not for a specific pack, box or case of cards or memorabilia. There is No Guarantee we will pull a specific card or player, just something from the team you purchase. Pictures in this listing may include images that represent cards or other items which may be available overall in the live break, but do not offer, promise, guarantee or otherwise imply the specific card(s) or other item(s) will be pulled in this break or any future breaks. You are hereby bidding on the opportunity to watch our YouTube Live break. If there is a card pulled that does not have an auction spot, we will use random.org to randomize the card to all auction spots for this break. If a retired player is pulled, we will award it to the team on the card. If no team is on the card, it will be the jersey they are wearing in the picture, then the team they spent time with the longest (if it comes to that). Please, no e-checks, as other buyers will not want to wait for your payment to clear before we can start the break. If a buyer fails to pay on time, their team(s) will be offered up to the group before the start of the break. In the event of a power loss and/or loss of internet service, the show will be put on pause and communication will go out to each winner about when the show picks back up. Refunds are not issued in this case. Bakersfield Hobby cannot assure the claims made by the product companies on their hit guarantees. For instance: If a specific brand claims that there are two autographs/box and we only pull one, this is not grounds for a refund from Bakersfield Hobby. Buyers understand that Bakersfield Hobby cannot control this, and will ship the cards we open on camera. Nothing more, nothing less. Most of all, have a great time with the breaks, and good luck!!
