Inception's signature art-driven style hits the hardwood — now fully licensed by the NBA for the first time ever. Bold designs, premium memorabilia, and one of the deepest rookie classes in years.
Where rookies become legends
Topps Inception is one of the most visually distinct basketball releases of the year — layered artwork, vivid color, and a premium, gallery-worthy feel on every card. For 2025–26 it arrives fully licensed by the NBA for the first time, so you'll see official team branding on the game's brightest stars, its future icons, and its all-time greats.
The checklist spans elite veterans like Victor Wembanyama and LeBron James, a loaded rookie class led by Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, and Kon Knueppel, and legends including Shaquille O'Neal and Allen Iverson — all rendered in Inception's unmistakable style. Every box keeps the focus on quality over quantity: seven cards, and a guaranteed hard-signed autograph or autograph relic.
