1. 2025-26 Topps Basketball - Stars Of NBA - SA-5 Stephen Curry Foilfractor 1/1
Sale Price: $35,000 (two sales of the same card and same price)

This gorgeous 1/1 Steph Curry Foilfractor non-auto is the big boy so far on completed sales. While bigger cards have been pulled this is the current record holder at $35,000. Curry's Hall of Fame career and popularity added to a great looking 1/1 in the Topps Basketball return set is pretty amazing. No doubt that the owner of this card agrees.
2. Cooper Flagg 2025-26 Topps Basketball Red Mojo Refractor 3/5 Auto
Sale Price: $31,000
2B. Cooper Flagg 2025-26 Topps Basketball Red Mojo Refractor 1/5 Auto
Sale Price: $27,500

Two Cooper Flagg Topps Red Mojo parallels, numbered to /5, hold consecutive spots on the list. Number 1/5 sold on November 8, 2025. Just the following month, number 3/5 sold on December 22, 2025. It is interesting to note the rise in price over six weeks. This is certainly a testament to the great start that Cooper Flagg has had this season.
3. 2025-26 Topps Basketball Stars Of NBA SA-6 LEBRON JAMES Foilfractor 1/1
Sale Price: $25,000

Similar to Steph Curry, this 1/1 Lebron James brings the gorgeous gold of a Foilfractor. Another future Hall of Famer, James' cards carry a heavy premium. This card remains ungraded or raw and that certainly could impact its value. If this card would grade a PSA 10, the price would go up in multiples. It's hard to tell the quality of the card from a picture. However, that doesn't stop the great "eye appeal" and unique status of this card.
