The set at a glance
2025-26 Topps Basketball released on 23 October 2025 — the flagship NBA set from Topps’ return to fully-licensed basketball, and the launch collectors built the season around.
The 300-card base set spans stars, legends and one of the deepest rookie classes in years, headlined by No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg alongside Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, V.J. Edgecombe and Kon Knueppel, plus combo cards, relics and super-short-print inserts.
The premium chases are the story: the first-ever Victor Wembanyama autographs in a Spurs jersey, fully-licensed LeBron James autos exclusive to this release, ultra-rare Home Court and Comic Court case hits, and the returning Golden Mirror photo variations. Hobby boxes run 20 packs of 12 cards.

The chase cards
The most valuable and most-hyped cards in the set — the ones collectors are hunting right now.
- Cooper Flagg — Flagship rookie · base + autograph ($40–$400+ AUD). The rookie the whole set revolves around. The No. 1 pick’s base RC is the entry point, but his on-card autographs and short-print variations are the true grails driving this release. Live market: $139.54 raw.
- Victor Wembanyama — First-ever Spurs autograph (Chase). A genuine milestone card — Wembanyama’s first-ever autographs in a Spurs jersey are exclusive to this release. Numbered versions are the marquee pull of the entire set. Live market: $479.34 raw.
- LeBron James — Fully-licensed autograph (release-exclusive) (Chase). Fully-licensed LeBron autos can now be chased here for the first time. Scarce, iconic and a case-hit-level pull for the biggest name in the game. Live market: $2,026 raw.
- Golden Mirror Variations — Short-print photo variation (SSP) ($50–$300 AUD). The set’s signature short-print. Golden Mirror photo variations on stars and rookies are tough pulls and among the most-tracked chases on the secondary market.
- Dylan Harper — Rookie card · base + auto ($15–$120 AUD). The next name after Flagg in the rookie pecking order. Strong upside makes his autos and short prints a smart value chase before the season plays out.

Collector tips
- Cooper Flagg drives box prices — decide whether you’re ripping for the hit or buying his singles, because his autos carry most of the set’s value.
- The Wembanyama and LeBron autographs are case-hit rare; treat pulling one as the jackpot, not the expectation.
- Golden Mirror variations are easy to overlook against the base card — check the photo carefully before selling a "base" star short.
