2025-26 Topps Now Basketball will guide collectors through all the top moments of the NBA season with online-exclusive, print-on-demand cards that are only available for 48 hours each.

A staple in many other sports, the NBA gets the Topps Now treatment for the first time in 2025-26 now that Fanatics — the parent company of Topps — has taken over exclusive licensing rights to produce NBA cards.

New cards will be issued most days throughout the season at Topps.com and Fanatics.com, where collectors can order them for the chance to find parallels, short print variations, autographs, and/or relics included with their shipment.

The base cards have an open-ended print run, which means Topps will print the exact number of cards ordered. Base parallels for each card could include all or some of:

  • Gold Foil /50
  • Orange Foil /25
  • Black Foil /10
  • Red Foil /5
  • FoilFractor /1

Select cards will have short-printed image variations, such as the first card in the set of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, whose reaction to receiving his championship ring is the variation.

Other cards will have relic and/or autographed versions, including 1/1 inscribed signatures.

In addition, cards with high production runs of base cards will also have special Chrome parallels. Chrome cards are unlocked at the following tiers:

  • 50,000+ Print Run: Chrome parallels /99 and /50
  • 100,000+ Print Run: Chrome parallels /25, /10, /5 and 1/1 SuperFractor
  • 250,000+ Print Run: Opal Chrome parallels /50, /25, /10 and /5
  • 500,000+ Print Run: 1/1 White OpalFractor Chrome

Topps issued special-edition but unnumbered Christmas parallels for cards released following the NBA’s annual Christmas Day games.

Topps Now cards are available directly from Fanatics for the chance to hit parallels, variations, or autographs, though individual base versions typically quickly pop up on secondary marketplaces like eBay and Amazon.

A notable 2025-26 Topps Now Basketball card is the Cooper Flagg/Kon Knueppel dual card from their January 29, 2026, matchup (Card #152). With a print run of 67,580, this card became the first Topps Now Basketball card to have Chrome parallels.

During the regular season, the highest print run for any 2025-26 Topps Now Basketball card was #241. That card recognizes Flagg’s 51-point performance, which made him the youngest player in NBA history with 50 points in a game. It had a print run of 99,025, falling just short of unlocking the second tier of Chrome parallels.

Overall, the highest printed card during the 2025-26 season is Flagg’s Rookie of the Year card, which has a final print run of 208,735.

The second-most printed card came during the NBA Finals after New York’s OG Anunoby’s last-second putback secured the largest comeback in NBA Finals history. That card had a print run of 105,842.
