Topps NOW revives NBA Debut Inscription autos for four 2026 picks
One-of-one cards signed by Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, Caleb Wilson, and Keaton Wagler are available for 48 hours, ending midday Saturday, October 24.
Topps NOW is once again the home of the NBA Debut Inscription Autographs. Four top selections from the 2026 draft each signed a single, one-of-a-kind card to mark their arrival in the league, and the window to buy runs 48 hours, closing at midday on Saturday, October 24. The details come from press reports rather than a Topps statement.
The four cards
Each card is a Debut Inscription Autograph marking a player's entrance into the league. The checklist covers four players.
- G Darryn Peterson, Utah Jazz (No. 2 pick)
- F Cameron Boozer, Memphis Grizzlies (No. 3 pick)
- F Caleb Wilson, Chicago Bulls (No. 4 pick)
- G Keaton Wagler, Los Angeles Clippers (No. 5 pick)
Card prices and the exact start time of the sale are not stated.
How the debuts went
Peterson started and had 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists in 31 minutes, though the Jazz lost 123-103.
Boozer finished with 7 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists in 33 minutes. He shot 2-of-15 from the field and 0-of-6 from three, and the Grizzlies won by 20 over the Jazz.
In a 135-92 defeat to the Toronto Raptors, Wilson put up 16 points on 7-of-21 shooting and committed 9 turnovers for the Bulls.
Wagler was the only one of the four who did not start. Playing 29 minutes, he produced 15 points (4-of-8, 3-of-6 on threes), 5 rebounds, and 5 assists, and the Clippers topped the Sacramento Kings 121-96.
The missing No. 1 pick
AJ Dybantsa, the 2026 top overall pick by the Washington Wizards, has not yet made his debut because of an ankle injury. No debut inscription is listed for him so far. Whether a card will follow after he plays is not stated.
Why it matters
Topps is offering these cards for the second year, following its acquisition of NBA licensing rights that took effect on October 1, 2025.
A PSA 10 copy of the debut inscription card for last year's top pick, Cooper Flagg, sold last month for $140,300.
Topps has kept the NBA story busy elsewhere. Its record Cooper Flagg Chrome card is headed into a PrizePicks repack, and the company has outlined a LeBron James patch plan for his 24th season.
What it means for collectors
- Mind the cutoff: the sale closes at midday on Saturday, October 24.
- Dybantsa has no listed card yet, so the set of four may not be the full class.
- A PSA 10 of last year's top pick's debut inscription card fetched $140,300.
What is still unknown
Topps has not stated card prices, the exact sale start time, or whether Dybantsa will get a card.
