Random Wax: 2025-2026 Topps Basketball Hanger Box

25-26 Topps:   Donovan Mitchell has been so good in his career.  Playing in Utah and Cleveland I think he's gone under the radar of the casual fan.  But he really a good player.  2X All-Pro and 7X All-Star so far in his 9 seasons.  Career averages:  25/4/4 per game career averages on 36% shooting from deep.
I'm not a Kyrie guy but he's been excellent over the course of his career.  NBA Champ, 3X All-Pro, and 9X All-Star.
I like the horizontal cards Topps gives us.
Drake Powell averaged 6 points per game for the Nets.  That's the highlight of my rookie pull.
One of my Checklist cards.  I like how Topps does 'em.
Trey Murphy had the best season of his career averaging 21/5/3 while shooting 37% from long range.
Dylan Harper had a solid rookie campaign for the surging Spurs.
Rainbow Foil Parallel, Diamante Parallel, and 1980-1981 Topps Basketball pulls.  I really like the Diamante cards.
Jazz have some nice youth on their team led by Lauri Markkanen but made a big move trading for Jaren Jackson Jr. this season showing they are looking at the playoffs in the seasons to come.
Brook Lopez, Star Wars fan and NBA Champion, is a favorite of mine.
I love Detlef Schrempf.  One of the four retired greats I pulled.
More retired greats and an 8-Bit Ballers and Power Players insert.  I really like the colors on Power Players.  Groovy...

  1. The 2025 Topps design has really grown on me the past six months. It's really cool that they decided to use if for basketball and football (Chrome) too.
