Pre-orders for 2026-27 Topps Flagship Basketball open on October 6, 2026, per Topps' release calendar. Topps has not printed a street date. Steel City Collectibles lists the hobby, jumbo, mega, blaster and hanger boxes for October 22, 2026, "subject to change". That is a distributor date, not Topps'. A hobby box is 20 packs of 12 cards with one autograph or relic. The money in last year's set sat in Cooper Flagg's short prints and autographs. His Golden Mirror Image Variation in PSA 10 sold for a median $7,078.00 across 3 sales, Jul 14–Sep 9, 2026. A sealed 2025-26 hobby box, which listed at $109.99, sold for a median $350.00 across 4 sales, Sep 4–28, 2026.

The 2026-27 checklist has no sales yet. These are the same card types from 2025-26 Topps Basketball, the set this one replaces. Each figure is a dated sold comp: a median when there were at least 3 sales in 30 days or 2 in 90, otherwise the single most recent sale, named as one sale with its date. The ask column is the cheapest live eBay listing on Oct 4. An ask is what a seller wants, not what a card sold for.

Pack counts and hits are from Checklist Insider's guide (Oct 2, 2026) and Steel City's hobby listing. Steel City lists every format below for October 22. Topps has not published list prices for 2026-27. The eBay links are live searches; on Oct 4 they returned no presale box listings.

The best guide to where a 2026-27 box might trade is where last year's box trades today. Each figure is the median of the counted sales in the stated window. It is a comparison, not a price for the new set.

From SportsCardsPro's 2025-26 Topps Basketball hobby-box and jumbo-box tabs, read Oct 4, 2026. Removed by eye: one hobby box sold with an extra promo pack; eleven jumbo listings described as worn or with box wear. The hobby median uses the 4 sales from Sep 4 to Sep 28 ($251.00, $360.00, $399.00, $340.00).
The date is soft. Topps has put only the October 6 pre-order on its calendar. October 22 is Steel City's date, and they mark it subject to change. Topps moved this product's pre-order once already, from September 22. Plan around October 22, but do not count on it.
Last year's box held up. A 2025-26 hobby box listed at $109.99 and sells for a $350.00 median a year later. That came from a rookie class led by Cooper Flagg. Nobody knows yet whether Dybantsa, Peterson or Boozer will carry a box the same way.
The value sits in a few cards. A raw Flagg base rookie sells for $4.20. His short prints and autographs sold for $749 to $7,078. A hobby box gives one hit, and most hits are not those cards. Opening boxes is a lottery on the top of the checklist.
What we do not know. We do not know the 2026-27 list price, the presale asks, or which rookie will lead. This page will add dated presale asks once listings appear after October 6, and first sold comps after boxes ship.
