Chrome Black comes to the hardwood

The 2025-26 Topps Chrome Black Basketball Hobby Box — printed by Topps as 2026 Topps Chrome Black — is the first time the brand has ever been made for the NBA. A 150-card base set spotlights the league's biggest names: rookie cards of Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper and Kon Knueppel line up alongside Victor Wembanyama, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Luka Dončić, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards, plus all-time greats including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Allen Iverson.

Three brand-new inserts debut here — Obscura, Carbon Flare and the returning fan-favourite Home Court short print, reimagined with a darkened Chrome Black background — alongside established lines Black Lightning and Nocturnal. Every box is 13 cards, and one of them is a Topps-certified encased on-card autograph. It's the opposite of a base-heavy product: the hit is the point.

Frequently asked questions

What's inside each Hobby box?

Each Hobby box has 2 packs of 6 cards plus 1 encased on-card autograph — 13 cards total. Look for base cards from the 150-card set, Refractor parallels running to a 1/1 SuperFractor, and inserts including Home Court, Obscura, Carbon Flare, Black Lightning and Nocturnal.

How many autographs come in a Hobby box?

One encased on-card autograph is guaranteed in every box — no exceptions. That's what makes Chrome Black a different kind of product: you aren't paying for hundreds of base cards to find one hit.

Is this the 2025-26 set or the 2026 set?

Both names refer to the same product. It covers the 2025-26 NBA season, but Topps printed it as “2026 Topps Chrome Black” on the packaging. You'll see it listed either way across the hobby.

Is there a retail, blaster or mega version?

No. Chrome Black is a hobby-only release. There is no mega, blaster or retail configuration of it anywhere, which is part of why the print run stays tight.

Are the boxes factory sealed?

Yes. Every box ships sealed and untouched, straight from Topps, in secure packaging. No searched boxes and no resealed cases, ever.

Can I return a sealed box?

Sealed product is final sale — standard across the hobby, since we can't verify a box hasn't been opened or swapped once it leaves us. If a box arrives damaged in transit, contact us and we'll make it right.
