2025-26 Topps Pristine First Day Issue Basketball Hobby Box

The 2025-26 season is the first in many years in which Topps holds the NBA licence after Panini's long run, and Pristine is one of the more exclusive series that have come back to basketball. The series has long been built on glossy chromium cards with refractor parallels and on hits that are already encased when the box is opened. Each box contains three such encased cards, two autographs and one autograph relic, in addition to the cards in the packs.

Topps Pristine returns to the NBA after about two decades with chromium cards, hard-signed autographs and encased hits. First Day Issue is a separate and more limited version of the hobby box released ahead of the regular edition, with a base set of 150 players where the last spots are rookies.

A sealed hobby box. This is the channel where the manufacturer's autograph and parallel cards are inserted, unlike the retail formats. The hobby format is distributed only to specialist retailers and has a different card mix from the retail channel.
