Big news for Mavericks fans — Topps is back as the official licensed trading card provider of the NBA for the first time since 2009-10, and they’ve chosen Cooper Flagg as the cover athlete for the new 2025-26 Topps Basketball set.

The release drops on October 23, the same week Flagg tips off his rookie season in Dallas. To mark the occasion, Topps will host launch events in New York City and Los Angeles with giveaways and appearances from NBA stars. But the headline here is clear: Flagg’s rookie year is officially the spotlight moment for Topps’ return to the NBA card market.

From day one, Flagg has been at the center of the Mavericks’ vision — and now he’s also front and center for collectors everywhere.

Are you picking up Flagg’s first Topps card when it drops?
