GLASS CANVAS STEPH CURRY 1/1 - TOPPS CHROME
A stunning addition to the Topps Chrome line-up is the 1/1 Glass Canvas inserts. The Steph Curry is shown below. In the spirt of classic inserts with a modern twist the value on these should be strong. Multiple photos, screwed down glass effect, shimmer border and more help make Glass Canvas a stunning collectible.

With that said, the chase doesn’t stop there. Ultra-rare SSP case hits like Ultra Violet, Helix, Glass Canvas, Advisory, Paradox, and Patented take scarcity to another level by offering basketball collectors a thrilling chase no matter if they’re opening a single pack or buying a hobby box.
In addition to the inserts, Autograph collectors have plenty to get excited about as well. This year’s lineup features signatures from the most sought-after names in the sport, including future stars Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, and Ace Bailey, along with hobby giants LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Nikola Jokic, and Victor Wembanyama.
So whether you're in the game to hunt for top rookies or are seeking out iconic legends, the autograph checklist is one of the strongest in recent memory.
