What’s New
The 2025-26 Topps Finest Basketball set marks Topps’ return to the basketball card market for the first time since 2009. This release features a wide array of parallels, with 21 different types available. The set is structured with tiered base cards—common, uncommon, and rare—with nearly all parallels appearing across all three tiers. The exception is Purple Refractors, which are only found in the common and uncommon tiers.
Parallels are a central focus, with both unnumbered and serial-numbered versions. Several unique designs, such as Oil Spill Refractors, Geometric Refractors, and X-Fractors, are included. Some parallels are exclusive to certain box types, such as Geometric Refractors in Breaker’s Delight boxes.
