What's Dropping
The 2026 Topps Chrome Black Basketball hobby box is hitting the market via EQL raffle. Each box retails for $359.99 and contains one encased Chrome autograph card. Cases contain 8 boxes with a retail price of $2879.99, though individual boxes are more commonly available.
When & Where
The EQL raffle went live on July 27, 2026 at 12 PM ET. There was also a separate Fanatics App raffle that closed the morning of the drop. The product page and EQL entry links were available through Topps' official launch platform.
The Play
This is an established product with consistent resale value. Pre-orders have been active for about a month, giving the market time to settle. Our team estimates resale around $450 based on current comps. Cases could potentially offer better margins if you can secure one, though they're harder to find.
Resale Outlook
The basketball card market has shown steady demand for Chrome Black releases. With autographs in every box and the premium Chrome finish, this product maintains its value well. Recent eBay sales support the $450-$500 range, making it a solid flip opportunity for those who hit on the raffle.
