2025-26 Topps Finest Basketball is the first fully licensed version of the product since 2007-08, and Topps will stay true to the concept it has used the past two years when it released versions only licensed by the NBA Players’ Association.

That means a tiered base set with an eccentric design, plenty of colorful and patterned parallels, and an abundance of inserts and autographs.

As has been the case the past two years, collectors can expect two autographs per hobby box, which have 10 packs with 6 cards. Breaker’s Delight boxes include three autographs and exclusive Geometric parallels.
