Basketball
When it comes to basketball cards, the situation in 2025 is marked by a major comeback for Topps Chrome , but it is still important to distinguish between pure collectible cards and playable TCGs.
Here is an overview of what applies right now:
1. Topps Chrome Basketball (The Great Comeback)
After years of Panini dominance, Topps Chrome Basketball has made a massive comeback in 2024 and 2025.
What it is: These are the highest quality collectibles. The 2024-25 set contains 200 cards focusing on both today's stars, legends, and the hottest rookies.
What to look for: "Refractors" (shiny cards) and the extremely rare "SSP" (Super Short Print) ones like Helix , Rock Stars , and Let's Go!.
Important: As of October 1, 2025, Topps will once again have a full NBA license, meaning they can fully use team logos and uniforms again.
2. Panini NBA (The Gold Standard for Collectors)
Panini still has the most famous series for those of you who want value and investment:
Prizm & Select: These are the most popular sets for serious collectors in Norway.
National Treasures: If you are looking for the most expensive cards with suits and signatures (RPA - Rookie Patch Auto).
