2025-26 Topps Inception Basketball First Day Issue Hobby Box

Every 2025-26 Topps Inception First Day Issue Hobby box is a seven-card, single-pack rip built around autographs, including an FDI Exclusive Autograph found only in this configuration.

Topps Inception is a compact, high-end soccer release known for its painterly base design, on-card and sticker autographs, and layered parallel rainbow packed into a single pack per box. The First Day Issue (FDI) edition is a limited early-release version of the product, distinguished by FDI-stamped cards and an exclusive autograph found only in FDI boxes. Collectors gravitate toward Inception for its low card count and high hit rate — nearly every card in the box is either a parallel or an autograph — making it a fast, focused break with real chase upside.

Configuration

• 1 pack per box
• 7 cards per pack (7 cards total)
• 4 base cards per box
• 2 base parallels per box
• 1 autograph or autograph relic per box
• FDI boxes average 1 FDI Exclusive Autograph plus 1 additional autograph or autographed relic per box
• Look for numbered parallels and relic-autograph combinations

What to Chase

What to Chase — The headline pull here is the FDI Exclusive Autograph, a card available only in First Day Issue boxes and not found in standard Inception Hobby, delivered alongside an additional autograph or autographed relic on average. Beyond the signatures, you're hunting the Inception parallel rainbow off the base set and its FDI-stamped counterparts, plus autographed relic cards that pair a signature with a memorabilia swatch. With only seven cards in the box, the ratio is deliberately lean and hit-heavy: a small handful of base and base parallels wrapped around multiple autograph slots, with the FDI stamp itself adding a layer of scarcity to everything inside.
