Coffee Break:2025-26 Topps Basketball Hanger/Value Pack

We are at the end of the retail wax that I got in the 9-card lot of autograph Daniel Jones cards I traded away. If you missed that, here is the ARTICLE.

I saved the basketball pack for last. I only had one reason for wanting to rip one of these and it wasn't because it was the first return of Topps NBA cards. It was to land a Cooper Flagg rookie card for my collection.

*spoiler, there is a reason why I left this break for last*
Without further ado, let's start to rip and take a sip with these highlights,  

Recycled MLB insert, but I still like it.

I don't know a lot about this year's rookie class other than two Duke guys. So not sure if this is good or bad.

A silver parallel or some form of throwback insert

These will always be purty. Love my shiny.

Now onto the rookies....



And some last card magic...
 
Yesssssss!!!!

Now these Flaggs aren't worth much anymore, but out of the boxes I have opened, this was the best card I pulled.

Let me know your thoughts on Topps with the basketball license again and ,my break overall.

Hope everyone is or will be having a great start to their weekend!

    They're alright not keen reusing the baseball fronts the set is about a 2 1/2 cups of coffee the backs could've been better with the stats some of the inserts are good

      I know. I think each sport should have a their own design

    Congratulations on pulling the Flagg out of the last pack. I'm a Topps guy, so I'm happy they're producing basketball cards again. Hope they eventually work something out with Vanessa, so they can produce some new Kobe cards.

      The Flaggs are so overproduced now they have become worth nothing. But, I am just glad to have one

    Nice variety of pulls you showed here. If you could manage to get retail value back for them, you would be miles ahead of me. Good thing I'm not relying on cards as a source of income. Have a fantastic weekend and enjoy your favorite beverage (coffee)! Stay warm if you are in a climate like mine in central Minnesota.

      I doubt I will even come close to the value of the Jones autos with these breaks. Just brutal

    Congrats on the Flagg! I got a couple inserts but not the RC yet. My did get one in his second pack, ugh.

    I'm happy that Topps is back in the game, but was bummed out overall by it's effort, no complete stats on the back the prime issue.
