ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

2025-26 Topps Inception Basketball Hobby – Full Checklist, Autograph Odds

Product Overview

2025-26 Topps Inception Basketball Hobby brings the art-forward Inception design to the NBA with a premium, low-count format centered on signatures and memorabilia. The 100 card base set anchors the release, backed by a broad autograph and autographed-relic checklist and a numbered parallel structure that runs from Purple down to the one-of-one Inception. The rookie class carries much of the appeal — Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, Kon Knueppel, and Egor Dëmin — while veterans and established stars such as Victor Wembanyama, Jayson Tatum, LeBron James, Paolo Banchero, and Stephen Curry round out the subject list. The 2025-26 Topps Inception Basketball Hobby checklist spans base cards and their parallels, six on-card signature sets, five autographed-relic sets, and a small run of memorabilia cards.

Format & Box Configuration

Each Hobby box holds one 7-card pack, with 8 boxes per case. Look for base cards, base parallels, and case-hit inserts — Launch, Endgame, and Splashdown. Several parallels are found only in this box: the Inception 1/1 of Rookie Autographs Horizontal Variations, Dual Rookie Relic Autographs, and Persistant Marks, along with the Inception 1/1 of NBA First Milestone Relics.

What to expect from a box: 7 cards across 1 pack. Guaranteed: one autograph or autographed relic. On average: 1 autograph.

What to expect from a case (8 boxes): on average, 8 autographs and 5 numbered parallels.

Case-hit content sits deep across the checklist. The most attainable of the chase sets are Fountain of Youth Signatures and Rise to Fame Signatures at about one per 2 cases, then Launch, Splashdown, Persistant Marks at about one per 3 cases, and Dawn of Greatness Autographs and Inception Silver Signings at about one per 4 cases. Endgame falls about one per 5 cases, Rookie Relic Booklet Autographs about one per 8 cases, NBA First Milestone Autograph Relics about one per 12 cases, and Dual Rookie Relic Autographs about one per 16 cases. Rarest is NBA First Milestone Relics at about one per 84 cases.
