It’s only been a week since the release of 2024-25 Topps Chrome Basketball, and the market is already heating up like a Steph Curry heat-check in the fourth. Collectors have wasted no time tearing into hobby boxes—and the secondary market’s responding with a steady climb in sales.

Let’s start with the eye candy: the "Let’s Go" SSPs. These vibrant, ‘90s-style inserts are pure nostalgia, but they’re also commanding serious prices. A Curry sold for $200 on eBay, while LeBron’s version landed around $130. And yes, Wemby’s in the mix too—his "Let’s Go" insert fetched $120. Not bad for a product that hasn’t even hit its second weekend.

Now, if you’re a fan of ink, the autographs in this set aren’t messing around either. LeBron James autographs have barely surfaced—just two have sold so far, both listed at $2,500 with best offers accepted. Wembanyama’s gold /10 auto recently closed near $800. And rookies? Bronny James Jr.’s auto sold for $145, and Alexandre Sarr brought in $110. It’s a nice mix of hype and legit chase.

And of course—Superfractors. They’ve become the ultimate flex, and even though most haven’t shown up yet, the Trae Young 1-of-1 did. It sold at auction for $172, which feels like a steal considering how much room these cards still have to run as more collectors join the chase.

As for hobby boxes, they’re still relatively easy on the wallet—$150 to $200 depending on where you’re buying. That kind of pricing makes it accessible for weekend rippers and serious chasers alike.

Bottom line: Topps Chrome Basketball is back in the spotlight, and collectors are taking notice. With colorful inserts, coveted autos, and plenty of rare parallels still hiding in packs, this set is shaping up to be one of the season’s early winners.
