2023-24 Topps Three Basketball marks the debut of this ultra-premium product in the Topps basketball lineup. As the first iteration of the program, it introduces a new high-end experience built around rarity, presentation, and prestige.

With each card slabbed, numbered to 49 or less, and curated for top-tier quality, Topps Three is designed to make a bold entrance in the world of premium basketball cards.

Why does Topps Three Basketball matter?

Topps Three stands out because every box delivers three premium slabbed cards — each one an SSP numbered to 49 or less. In addition to its ultra-limited nature, the name “Three” isn’t just a gimmick — it’s a nod to basketball’s culture and legacy: the three-point shot, three-point play, the triple-double, triple-threat stance, Triangle Offense, Big 3 era, and the elusive three-peat.

Who is Topps Three Basketball intended for?

Topps Three is built for mid to high-end collectors who appreciate rarity, iconic names, and clean, elevated designs. It’s also aimed at dedicated basketball fans who understand the deeper meaning of “three” in the sport — collectors who value storytelling through the cards just as much as the hits themselves.

What am I chasing in 2023-24 Topps Three Basketball?

Collectors will be hunting down massive hits like Victor Wembanyama Rookie Triple Patch Autographs, LeBron James Autographs, and a wide array of ultra-rare SSP inserts and parallels. With everything numbered to 49 or less, each card is a true chase in its own right.
