Topps chrome boxes will literally be 3K out of the gate

If they do get a deal done for the NBA license and we get Topps Chrome back for Wembanyama’s rookie year, it would be pretty huge.

People would be back lining up at Target and Walmart to get every blaster they possibly could.

Would love to see some sort of Topps Archives style basketball set using vintage Topps basketball designs.....71-72, 72-73, and 77-78 are my three favorites.

The real question is how? Are they buying Panini? Buying out the license from Panini? Or is this going to be some sort of unlicensed basketball release?

Doesn’t panini have the license til 2026?

It will probably be unlicensed like Topps Finest.

71-72 was done in 2000-01 NBA Heritage

Lee42 · 04-04-2023, 07:21 PM

If they have the NBA Players Association agreement to use players they could just do what Panini has been doing with NT/Flawless Baseball until they buy Panini or take over the licence.

Exactly this…

Or did Bowman U going to be Chrome now?

Pathora · 04-04-2023, 07:27 PM

I'm assuming from the new CBA they brokered an agreement to buy out Panini of the rest of their terms.

kingofsnake · 04-04-2023, 07:28 PM

Unlicensed Topps basketball? Pass.

njsportscardguy · 04-04-2023, 07:28 PM

As implied by @WatchTheBreaks , if it's H.S., collegiate, unlicensed NBA, I personally wouldn't even be inclined to wipe my bum-bum with it.

brothertona · 04-04-2023, 07:33 PM

Panini still owns both licenses unless something has changed

I'd guess unlicensed junk. Panini would be foolish to sell the rights early with Wembum coming.

Players in street clothes, Zion dunking over kids at the YMCA in sweats, that kind of thing.

brothertona · 04-04-2023, 07:47 PM

According to the new CBA players get a share of licensing, nothing concerning licensing outside of that minor fact has been released

Still looking to score my first Shaq Men's Warehouse aquafractor.

HMU and LMK.

Even if it was licensed hasn’t their printing quality deteriorated anyway?

That last Finest release wasn’t even chromium’ed properly.

KhalDrogo · 04-04-2023, 08:11 PM

Would be hilarious to see Fanatics offer Wembum an exclusive auto deal.

luke1014 · 04-04-2023, 08:22 PM

Reading the comments under Shams tweet and I had no idea NBA fans hated Fanatics so much. Definitely bodes well.

Fanatics already tried to buy Panini once, maybe made a better offer?
