Topps began producing basketball cards in 1957. The 80-card set is still very popular today with vintage collectors but it was the oversized 1969-70 set that really brought basketball cards to a new level.

Topps has been a regular NBA licensee since 1992 and has been at the forefront of basketball card collectibility for over 40 years. Its Chrome and Finest releases have delivered some of the hottest basketball cards of the 1990s. Together with the core brands of Topps and Stadium Club, and with the addition of new brands like Xpectations and Pristine, the Topps line-up of basketball releases is one of the most comprehensive and appreciated throughout the industry.
