Don’t Be in the Dark on 2025-26 Topps Midnight Basketball

2025-26 Topps Midnight Basketball might be one of the darker card sets of the season, but the checklist has plenty to brighten up any hoops collection.

Here are some highlights:

Rookie Jersey Autographs

Midnight is the first 2025-26 NBA product to feature autographed relics from the season’s rookie class. That means autographed jersey and patch cards from the likes of Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, Dylan Harper and more than 30 other first-year players.

Sleek Signatures

Rookie Jersey Autographs are far from the only signatures on the 2025-26 Topps Midnight Basketball checklist. Other themes include:

• Dark Marks Signatures
• Dark Matter Autographs
• Midnight Oil Marks
• Midnight Sun Signatures
• Rookie Horizon Signatures

While freshman players star throughout these sets, veteran and retired stars are included as well. LeBron James, Larry Bird, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Victor Wembanyama, Tyrese Haliburton, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic are a few of the standouts.

Autographs combine to land three per hobby box.

Parallel Universe

Don’t expect the usual colors when it comes to Midnight’s parallels. Instead, they stick with the nocturnal vibe that runs throughout the product.

Base cards have just over a dozen different versions:

• Zodiac
• Morning /149
• Twilight /99
• Dusk /75
• Summer Solstice /50
• Winter Solstice /35
• Moon Beam
• Moonrise /25
• Equinox /20
• Midnight /12
• Daybreak /5
• Witching Hour /3
• Black Light 1/1

Luminous Limited Editions

The 2025-26 Topps Midnight Basketball checklist has eight standard insert sets. Of those, four are scarce short prints. Dreamland and Night Shade both make their debuts. Night Vision and Twilight, which has no connection to the nearly 20-year-old movies, both return with new crops of players.
