2025-26 Topps Finest Basketball Checklist

2025-26 Topps Finest basketball uses a three-tier base set of Common, Uncommon and Rare cards, numbered 1–300, with each tier carrying its own refractor ladder. The 2025 rookie class runs through every tier and through inserts such as Arrivals and First. It was released February 26, 2026.

What's in the checklist

• Base: 100 Common, 100 Uncommon and 100 Rare cards with Refractor, Oil Spill, X-Fractor and Geometric versions plus numbered parallels down to SuperFractor and Black Geometric 1/1s
• Inserts: Arrivals, First and Muse (30 each), Finishers (10) with Die-Cut Refractor /75, plus Pulse, The Man, Aura and Headliners
• Autographs: Finest Autographs (54) including 40 Rookie Autographs, Baseline Autographs (50) and Masters Autographs (47), with Blue X-Fractor /99 down to SuperFractor /1
• Signed inserts: Electrifying Signatures (49) and Colossal Shots (49) on Geometric Refractor parallels

Key rookies

Cooper Flagg, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, opens the base set, Arrivals and First, followed by Dylan Harper, VJ Edgecombe, Kon Knueppel, Ace Bailey, Tre Johnson III and Jeremiah Fears. Baseline Autographs add veterans and retired names such as Chet Holmgren, Dwight Howard and Dan Issel.

Grading considerations

Rookie Autographs, Rare-tier base cards and low-numbered Geometric parallels are among the cards collectors commonly consider for grading. Finest's protective coating should be peeled carefully, since refractor surfaces scratch easily. See our grading scale.
