Basketball has changed a lot over the last year. The NBA's exclusive license is back in the hands of Topps. Panini has stopped printing basketball cards all together.
There's a lot of demand for basketball cards these days, so Topps started taking advantage and jacking up the prices of the boxes.
Here's our review of Topps Flagship basketball if you're interested. We think that's the best rip right now until the price of Chrome comes down.
I love reading about this, I just recently got back into hobby, I’m more into basketball, do you have any recommendations for me?
Thanks for reading!
