Topps are set to release the 2025-26 Topps Cosmic Chrome Basketball, marking the first licensed version of this Chrome product.
Following its debut two years ago, the brand is returning to the basketball scene, promising exciting themes inspired by outer space.
First Day Issue Pre-Order
Topps will initially launch the product with a First Day Issue pre-order Dutch auction scheduled for March 27.
What to Expect in the Set
While Topps hasn’t yet revealed the exact size or scope of the base set, collectors can anticipate an eccentric design featuring outer space-themed accents and numerous galactic-based parallels. The checklist will include current stars, rookies, and retired greats.
The base design extends to the autographs, with Cosmic Chrome Autographs offering several parallels, including 1/1s.
Autograph Details
Autographs are typically challenging to find in the Cosmic Chrome brand, but collectors can expect more hard-signed ink options beyond the base versions.
First Flight Autographs will return, while Alien Autographs, Electro Static, and Singularity Signatures are new additions to the product.
Inserts Breakdown
The product will feature inserts across three distinct tiers: traditional inserts, inserts numbered to /50 or fewer, and SSP case hits.
Among the more common inserts are Planetary Pursuit. Variations feature the sun and planets from Mercury to Pluto, giving collectors a chance to collect the entire solar system.
- Cosmic Dust and Hypernova land as SSPs.
- Planetary Pursuit includes 10 cards of each player.
