2025-26 Topps Chrome Update Series

Adding a new chromium chapter for collectors, 2025-26 Topps Chrome Update Series Basketball marks the first installment of the NBA's Update product. Each Hobby box has one autograph.VO

The concept is similar to the MLB version, which helps close out the Chrome flagship collecting season.VO

Topps presales came on July 7, 2026, via EQL raffle, including Hobby ($529.99) and Jumbo ($1,079.99) formats. There are also Value Blaster ($44.99) boxes. On the official release day (Aug. 6), Hobby boxes increased to $549.99 and Jumbo boxes increased to $1,099.99.VO

Later, Mega boxes ($84.99) were announced, with the presale taking place on July 10, 2026.VO

Topps noted these boxes come without the exterior plastic seal to discourage resale and to help maintain retail price points.VO
