FAQ
What cards will be eligible for the MVP buyback offer?
The National Basketball Association announced Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as the 2025/26 season KIA MVP. His 2025/26 Topps Chrome Basketball base and base parallel cards will be eligible for the buyback program. For a full list of the eligible cards, see the table above.
If the MVPs haven't been decided yet, what cards should I be collecting now? How do I know what to collect?
That’s the exciting part! Starting today, you should start collecting players you think could win the MVP. When you open a box of 2025 Chrome Basketball, be sure to collect any player you think might win the award. If they do, you’ll have the option to exchange those cards for store credit after the MVP is determined. And if they don’t win the award…well, you’ll still have an awesome card collection.
When does the buyback program start and end?
The Chrome Basketball MVP Buyback Program will begin shortly after the NBA announces the 2025/26 MVP in Spring 2026 and will end roughly 3 months later. Shops should not accept MVP buyback trade-ins prior to the official program start date. This page will update with more exact details once the MVP is announced.
Does the buyback offer only apply to 2025 Topps Chrome cards?
The MVP Buyback Offer only applies to the eligible cards listed in the table above in 2025 Topps Chrome and Topps Chrome Logofractor products. Other 2024 Chrome cards (e.g., Chrome Black and Chrome Sapphire) and unstamped MVP Buyback cards from previous years will not be eligible for buyback.
Will any other players’ cards be eligible for the buyback program?
No. Only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander 2025/26 Topps Chrome Basketall Cards will be eligible for buyback.
What will I receive in exchange for my cards? Can I get cash?
When you bring your cards into your hobby shop, you will receive store credit in exchange – not cash. The amount of store credit is determined by the pricing table above. If you mail your cards to an authorized mail-in partner, you will receive online credit to the associated retailer account.
How do I determine the buyback value of my numbered cards?
It’s very simple. All MVP cards that are numbered greater than /100 will fetch $100 in credit. All numbered cards less than /100 will fetch $200 in credit. Thus, for /399, /299, /275, /199, or /150, the buyback offer is $100. For /99, /75, /50, /25, /12, /10, /8, /5, /-5, /2 or /1 cards, the buyback offer is $200.
Can I redeem my cards if I don’t live near a participating hobby shop?
Yes, you can.
Do the cards have to be in mint condition?
Cards do not need to be in mint condition. Ripped or altered cards will not be accepted for the buyback program, but as long as your card is in one piece, it will be eligible.
What happens if the MVP winner is not included in the base set of 2025 Chrome?
If the MVP winner does not have base or base parallel cards in the 2025 Chrome Basketball release but does appear a Chrome continuity product with base or base parallel cards, those cards will become eligible for buyback redemption at the same store credit values listed above. This contingency applies only if the MVP does not have any eligible buyback cards in the original 2025 Chrome Basketball base checklist.
