The OG Anunoby Topps NOW card from the 2025-26 NBA Finals became one of the biggest basketball card releases in Topps NOW history. The card, listed as 2025-26 NBA Topps NOW Card #336, finished with an official print run of 105,842 copies. That number matters because Topps NOW cards are printed based on actual demand. Once the sales window closes, the final print run is locked.
This card celebrated Anunoby’s dramatic put-back game-winner in Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. The moment helped complete a historic 29-point comeback and instantly became part of Knicks history. For collectors, the card is not just about OG Anunoby. It is about the moment, the market reaction, and the lottery-style chase attached to the release.
Why This OG Anunoby Print Run Matters
A print run of 105,842 copies is massive. That means the base version of this card is not rare. There are too many copies in circulation for the standard card to carry major long-term scarcity. Most base cards from huge Topps NOW print runs become affordable keepsakes.
That does not make the card meaningless. For Knicks fans, this is a cool piece of championship history. For sports card collectors, it is a great case study in how Topps NOW demand works. For people who enjoy the chase, the real interest comes from the limited parallels and the 1/1 autograph-relic card.
Topps confirms that this card includes an open-edition base card, foil parallels numbered to 1/50 and lower, Chrome parallels, a 1/5 autograph redemption, and a 1/1 autograph-relic redemption card. Topps also states that lucky hits can replace the base card in an order, with odds based on the total quantity ordered.
Why NBA Collectors Would Have Interest
There are three reasons sports memorabilia collectors may care about this OG Anunoby card.
- It captures a historic NBA Finals moment. Sports cards tied to iconic plays often have emotional value, even when the base card is common.
- The New York Knicks market. Knicks collectors are active, emotional, and often willing to pay for cards connected to major franchise moments.
- This release includes a major chase element. One collector who purchased the base card had a chance to receive the 1/1 autograph-relic card connected to the game-used net from the play. That is the real hook.
The base card is the souvenir. The parallels are the prize tier. The 1/1 auto-relic is the lottery ticket.
What Are The Chances Of Receiving A Topps Parallel?
Here is where collectors need to stay realistic. The official print run was 105,842 cards. The known chase structure includes foil parallels, Chrome parallels, autograph redemptions, and the 1/1 autograph-relic.
Using the listed parallel structure, there are roughly 287 non-base chase cards connected to the release.
That creates estimated odds of about:
- 1 card purchased: about 1 in 369 chance at any non-base chase card
- 5 cards purchased: about 1 in 74
- 10 cards purchased: about 1 in 37
- 20 cards purchased: about 1 in 19
Those numbers are estimates based on the published print run and listed chase cards. They do not guarantee anything. Topps says lucky hits may replace base cards, and odds are based on total cards ordered, not the size of one individual order. The more cards you buy, the more chances you have. But even a 20-card order is still far from a lock.
The Lotto: Odds Of Getting The 1/1 Auto-Relic Card
The biggest prize is the 1/1 autograph-relic redemption card. This is the true lottery part of the release. With a print run of 105,842 copies, the estimated odds of receiving that exact 1/1 auto-relic are:
- 1 card purchased: 1 in 105,842
- 5 cards purchased: about 1 in 21,168
- 10 cards purchased: about 1 in 10,584
- 20 cards purchased: about 1 in 5,292
That is why collectors need to view this as entertainment, not a sound investment strategy. Yes, someone has to hit the 1/1. But for the average buyer, the odds are extremely long.
Should Sports Collectors Participate In A Print Run Like This?
Our recommendation is simple. If you are a Knicks fan, OG Anunoby fan, or NBA Finals collector, buying one base card makes sense. It is a fun keepsake from a major basketball moment.
If you are buying only to hit the 1/1 auto-relic, be careful. That is lottery thinking. The odds are not friendly.
If you are a card collector who enjoys calculated risk, buying a small bundle can be fun. You get more shots at a parallel while still owning a stack of cards tied to a major moment.
If you are looking for investment value, the base card is probably not the play. With more than 100,000 copies printed, long-term value will likely sit with the numbered parallels, autograph redemptions, and the 1/1 auto-relic. The best approach is to treat this like a sports card sweepstakes. Buy because you like the moment. Chase because it is fun. Do not confuse fun with guaranteed profit.
