The release of 2025-26 Topps Basketball marks the company’s first licensed basketball product since 2009, as Fanatics and the NBA enter into a new long-term and exclusive trading card licensing agreement.
Collectors can expect to find an autograph or relic card in every hobby box, while jumbo boxes will feature one autograph and one relic.
Topps had produced NBA cards in recent years through an agreement with the NBA Players’ Association, but that prevented the company from using logos or team names. Among Topps’ recent basketball sets, none were a new edition of the flagship product.
Historically, Topps first produced NBA cards in 1957-58, then again from 1969-70 through 1980-81. A rise in the NBA’s popularity pushed Topps to return the flagship set to the industry in 1992-93, and collectors enjoyed a new edition every year through 2009-10, when Panini took over exclusive licensing rights to produce basketball cards.
Now, the 2025-26 flagship Topps checklist kicks off the new era with 300 cards, including 45 rookie cards and 30 combo cards, which spotlight one player but feature several of his teammates on the front. When put together, the 30 combo cards serve as a complete checklist for the set, as each of them has a list of 10 base cards on the back. The design is the same one Topps used for its 2025 Topps Baseball set.
Short-printed Golden Mirror cards will make their basketball debut, giving each card in the base set an alternate photo, a gold Topps logo on the front of the card, and a golden background on the flip side. The photos typically are more creative or fun.
Other versions include the 1/1 First Card parallel, which gives the first card of each player off the production line a special stamp.
Blackout, Clear, and Team Color Border variants will also be available, and select players will have Player Number Variations. These cards showcase a player’s number repeated throughout the background. Original images from Topps (below) showed these cards would be serial-numbered to match a player’s jersey number, but cards appearing on secondary marketplaces do not have serial numbers. To learn more about variations, please see our guide.
The base set also comes in a wide-ranging rainbow of parallels, featuring a variety of colors and styles. You can find a full breakdown and images of parallel cards in our guide.
Topps has loaded its return to basketball with plenty of autographs for collectors to chase – and an extra layer of excitement comes in the form of Victor Wembanyama’s first licensed autograph cards. As an exclusive signer for Fanatics, Wembanyama’s Panini cards could not feature his signature, but this also works in reverse, so several Panini-exclusive signers will be missing from Topps sets.
Flagship Real One Autographs have checklists for veterans and rookies, though one of the biggest themes for autograph collectors will be the cards based on the classic 1980-81 Topps set.
To celebrate the set’s 45th anniversary, there are four autograph sets inspired by that design, with veterans and rookies each getting their own checklist of Base Autographs and Chrome Autographs.
Additional autograph sets include:
There are also Dual Rookie Photo Shoot Autographs and 1980-81 Topps Triple Autographs.
Topps also delivers on the memorabilia relics in its new flagship set.
A blast from the past is Own The Game, a long-running insert from Topps that included jersey pieces in 2006 and 2008.
Additional relic sets include:
As baseball collectors could tell you, the Topps flagship set has become the home to an extensive line of insert concepts every year, and the company brings the same mindset to its new basketball set.
Collectors can find nearly two dozen insert sets, a mixture of old favorites, concepts borrowed from baseball, and new sets.
Inserts familiar to baseball collectors include:
Another insert adapted from baseball is the tough-to-find Home Court cards, which land once every 2,400 hobby packs and include background art related to a player or his home city.
Retro concepts from earlier basketball releases include:
New inserts include:
The Sonic Boom cards are retail-exclusive and tough to find (Blaster – 1:930; Mega – 1:2,319).
Another new insert is MVP Vault, which pays tribute to some of the MVP winners during Topps’ most recent absence from the industry.
The 1980-81 Topps Basketball retro inserts include 99 players, with 100 cards appearing with a Chrome finish found inside hobby and jumbo Silver Packs.

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!!
