What's Dropping
Topps is taking pre-orders for their ultra-premium 2025-26 Definitive Basketball Hobby Boxes through their EQL raffle system. Each $7,499.99 box contains 6 guaranteed autographs, with boxes shipping approximately one month after purchase. While no cases are available for this drop, collectors can enter for up to two individual boxes.
When & Where
The EQL raffle went live on August 18, 2026 at 12 PM ET exclusively through Topps' EQL platform. This is a pre-order opportunity, meaning cards won't ship immediately but will lock in your purchase at the retail price point.
The Play
At $7,499.99 retail, this represents a significant investment, but Definitive has proven to be a strong performer in the baseball category (with boxes still moving at $4,000+ months after release). The basketball counterpart carries even more hype in the current market. Breakers will likely drive demand as they seek inventory for group breaks.
Resale Outlook
Our team estimates these boxes could resell for $9,500+, though eBay fees would take a significant bite out of online sales. The best margins will come from direct sales to collectors through local groups or private marketplaces. Given the high price point and month-long wait for delivery, only enter if you have the capital to tie up.
