2009-10 Topps

Topps released the basic images and product information for its 2009-10 Basketball set on Friday, a product that will include 110 Chrome cards as well as McDonald’s All-American cards among its offerings when it arrives in late August. 12 boxes per case, 36 packs per box, 10 cards per pack.

Each hobby box will include two Relic cards as well as one autographed Relic or signed card in every third box. There will be two numbered Chrome cards per box as well as Relic cards from the NBA All-Star Game and signed NBA Rookie Photo Shoot Patch cards to be found.

The basic set will consist of 330 cards, only 15 of those rookies. However there will still be 15 rookies in the Chrome set.

The Relic lineup consists of Roundball Remnants, Championship Material, All-Star Dual Relics, All-Star Quad Relics, a lengthy list of NBA Logoman Patches as well as Laundry Tags.

The McDonald’s All-American checklist remains TBD, but there will be Rookie Rewind Jumbo jersey cards that are autographed as well as Rookie Rewind Letterman patch autographs. Also among the autographed Relic lineup are Franchise Fabrics — a set that includes Bill Russell, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Dwyane Wade, Shaquille O’Neal and others — while there also will be a standard autographed Relic set

Each jumbo box will include three Relics and one signed Relic or autograph card as well as one numbered Chrome card in every pack.


2009-10 Upper Deck

Upper Deck released the basic product breakdown and several preview images for its 2009-10 Basketball set, one of the company’s final fully licensed NBA releases — and one that packs the largest autograph checklist in the product’s history when it arrives in September — before Panini takes over as the league’s exclusive licensee this fall.

The standard set will include 200 cards, 40 star rookies and 55 UD Immortals cards, while the insert lineup will include the UD Signature Collection, Sophomore Sensations autographs (limited to 199), dual game jersey parallels (limited to 150), VS. dual materials parallels (150) and UD Game Materials parallels (150).

Each 16-pack box (20 cards per pack) includes three memorabilia cards (as many as two of those being duals), one autographed card and two lenticular 3D stars cards.

Each case will include three hot boxes where every pack will contain an autograph or memorabilia card..

2009-10 ‘48 Bowman

Playing off a nostalgia recipe that has worked wonders for the company in baseball and football, Topps pays homage here to the first mainstream basketball card set, 1948 Bowman, the only one ever produced by the company.

“With our last two products, 2009-10 Bowman ’48 and 2009-10 Topps, not only will you see a lot of great content, but you’ll get a retrospect of the contribution that the Topps and Bowman brands have made over the years to basketball trading cards,” said Topps spokesman Clay Luraschi.

The product, sporting the design used for 2006 Bowman Heritage Baseball, promises three autographed cards per box and a base set that features 122 total cards, including 15 Rookies (numbered to 2,009) and seven “Basketball Plays” cards inspired by the original 1948 Bowman basketball set numbered to 1,948.
