The series features packs of eight cards, priced at $139.99 each, which include a guaranteed autograph card from a roster of standout players. This roster features the men's Player of the Year, Zach Edey from Purdue, and the women's Player of the Year, Caitlin Clark. Each pack consists of the autographed card, alongside six base cards and one parallel card that is numbered to 99 or fewer. These packs are available for purchase until Thursday through Topps' official website, with dual autograph cards appearing in one out of every ten packs.

The collection highlights many of the prominent figures in college basketball, though it comprises a concise list of just 20 athletes who have agreed to be featured. The full lineup for the Bowman U NOW March Madness series encompasses:

For the men's side: Reed Sheppard and Rob Dillingham from Kentucky, Tristen Newton and Stephon Castle from UConn, Cody Williams from Colorado, Dalton Knecht from Tennessee, Zach Edey from Purdue, Kyle Filipowski from Duke, Kevin McCullar Jr. from Kansas, and Armando Bacot from UNC.

On the women's side: Caitlin Clark from Iowa, Cameron Brink from Stanford, Aaliyah Edwards from UConn, Angel Reese and Mikaylah Williams from LSU, Georgia Amoore from Virginia Tech, Rickea Jackson from Tennessee, Hailey Van Lith from LSU, Hannah Hidalgo from Notre Dame, and Paige Bueckers from UConn.

Noteworthy dual autographs in the series include pairings such as Clark/Edey, Clark/Reese, Reese/Van Lith, and Sheppard/Dillingham.

Topps' ability to feature Caitlin Clark in its card series will conclude on April 1, due to her upcoming exclusive trading card agreement with Panini America. This collaboration with the NCAA allows Topps to incorporate the iconic March Madness logo and branding into their products, with plans for future joint projects also in the pipeline.

Throughout this season, over 120 Bowman U cards have been released via the Topps NOW platform, including 61 that showcase college basketball talents like Caitlin Clark, who alone has been featured on 13 different cards—the highest among all college athletes. Additionally, college players have been part of the traditional Topps Bowman University line for the past two years, further enriching the collector's experience with the vibrancy of college sports.
