I think Topps will make this release readily available so hoping for something like $80/150.

But more likely it'll be $130/250?

Wasn't Luka a Panini exclusive guy like SGA?

Zero information about what the product lineup is going to look like.....

I guess Topps/Fanatics doesn't care....they know breakers will buy everything they release.....

Just look at baseball and the checklist to see what to expect. My expectation for the flagship release is:
- Jumbo box (hobby)
- Hobby box
- Hanger boxes
- Blaster boxes
- Mega boxes
- Fat packs (the wrapper for these already leaked)
- Retail packs
- Super boxes

He is, but he as long as he's part of the NBAPA, he should have cards..just like Lebron has always been a UD now Topps guy. He didn't have autos but had base, inserts and memorabilia cards

When you click on the the odds link, it shows the product lineup. bss pretty much nailed it. There's also going to be a Costco Super Box, Fanatics Value Box, and Target Black Friday Value Box.

Are all autograph cards hard-signed for 2025-26 Topps Basketball?

For flagship products, Topps typically has hard signed cards. The exceptions are things like insert autos and some of the relic autos. So by volume, probably 80/20 hard signed.

BoSoxFan1999 · 10-01-2025, 01:21 PM

I'm gonna probably be in for a few boxes. Won't be shocked if Topps "juices" them a bit to gain good PR.

ricebellypanda · 10-01-2025, 01:26 PM

Seems print run is humongous as expected.

Bob Ross · 10-01-2025, 01:57 PM

No chance I buy this without seeing a price.

I'm not talking about product configurations.....I'm talking about what products are going to be released over the course of the 25-26 season.

Will there be basketball Finest? Or Stadium Club? Or Heritage? Or Archives? Or Cosmic?

That's what I want to know.....

Topps plays it close to teh chest, but I believe they announced Finest, Chrome, Cosmic, Diamond Icons, and one or two others. Nothing about Stadium Club (which is the one I really want!), Archives, or Heritage.

At the National, the powers that be also alluded to Royalty coming to NBA/NFL.

The curry rc had the warriors logo in the card, even if he was wearing just a White shirt

I'm in for some for sure. Figure it will be priced similar to baseball.

Jaypers · 10-02-2025, 09:13 AM

Goes to show, if it releases 10/23 then they had all these printed and boxed up well in advance. They didn't have to wait until 10/1 to start manufacturing.

Bring on the onslaught of releases, it will be nonstop.

Nonstop, and fun. The only thing that would make it more fun is if the licenses were opened up for everyone. Now that would be fun. Let Panini continue on and allow Upper Deck and Leaf to start making real cards too.

Don't be so certain.

If you collect baseball cards, you know that Fanatics has been having real difficulties on the manufacturing side. Almost every product is being released late, often by several months.

I wouldn't be shocked if Fanatics only gets 4-5 products out the door before the end of the 25-26 regular season.
