In this story:
We are just a few days away from the 2026 NBA All-Star game, which tips off at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California, on February 15th. This marks the 75th All-Star game and this year's star-studded roster features six first-timers, global stars, and LeBron James with his 22nd straight All-Star selection.
If you're looking for a way to own a piece of All-Star magic, Topps NOW has released a 26-card All-Star Game Set. The set is on sale now for a limited time on the Topps NOW website, but your window to buy closes on February 16 at 4:00 PM EST. At $100 for 26 cards, this looks like a bargain given Topps NOW typically sells singles for $8.99.

Every card will feature one player, their regular season team, the date of the All-Star game (2.15), as well as a line below each player's name denoting how many All-Star selections they've earned. Seasoned veterans include Steph Curry with 12, Kevin Durant with 16, and Lebron James with a record-setting 22 selections.
Each Topps NOW card in this set will not only be available as a base card but will also come in foil parallels serial-numbered to 50 and lower, including gold (/50), orange (/25), black (/10), red (/5), and a one-of-one FoilFractor.
New format & six first time All-Stars
This set is special for a few reasons starting with how it captures the new format of the NBA All-Star game. Unlike years past with the traditional East vs. West game, this year's format will feature a new U.S. vs. World round-robin format with two U.S. teams (Stars & Stripes) and one international (World) team competing in four 12-minute games.
In addition to the new format, this set will feature Deni Avdija, Jalen Duren, Chet Holmgren, Jalen Johnson, Jamal Murray, and 11-year veteran Norman Powell. All six of whom are making their first All-Star appearance.
The Avdija and Murray additions are especially notable. Avdija is having a breakout year, and is one of only three players averaging 25+ points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists this season. He's also the first Israeli player to be named an NBA All-Star.
Now in his ninth NBA season, Murray is a long overdue addition to the All-Star team. For the past four seasons he's averaged 20+ points, 6+ assists, and 4+ rebounds per game. He couldn't be snubbed this year, as he's having a monster season averaging 25.7 points, 7.6 assists, 4.4 rebounds and knocking down 48.5% of his shots, including 42.5% from deep.
It will be exciting to see how the new All-Star format will go down and who will come out victorious. The World team looks absolutely stacked with SGA, Luka, Giannis, Jokic, and Wemby looking to shut down the Stars and Stripes USA teams. But in the words of 15-time All-Star Kevin Garnett, "Anything's possible!"
