After a long hiatus, fan favourite Topps Chrome Basketball is set to make a dazzling comeback in 2024, marking its first NBA release since the 2009-10 season. This announcement has sent waves of excitement through the sports memorabilia community, especially among basketball card collectors. Although still a year away from officially taking over the NBA license and two years from holding the NFL rights, Fanatics/Topps is not holding back and is gearing up for an aggressive rollout of new trading card sets.

Spotlight on Topps Chrome
Topps Chrome has always been a standout among basketball trading cards, known for its sleek, shiny designs and the premium feel of its cards. The return of this series is highly anticipated by collectors, especially with the inclusion of autograph deals that Topps has secured with key NBA players like LeBron James.

One of the most exciting aspects of the Topps Chrome relaunch is the promotional spotlight on an autographed rookie card for Victor Wembanyama! Given Wemby's deal with Fanatics his autograph has not yet appeared in a basketball set so this makes the upcoming set especially interesting to collectors.



Mark Your Calendars!
The exact release date this summer has not been disclosed yet, but anticipation is building. Collectors and fans should keep an eye on updates from Fanatics/Topps as the release approaches. This comeback not only marks a significant moment for Topps Chrome but also for the trading card industry, which continues to see robust growth and diversification.
