2026-27 Topps Hoops Basketball Hobby Box Price ($189.99)

2026-27 Topps Hoops Basketball went up for pre-order on topps.com on November 10, 2026. The hobby box is $189.99, the mega box is $59.99, the value box is $29.99 and the hanger box is $14.99. The release date is December 10, 2026. There are no eBay sold listings yet for the new box (checked November 10). Last year's 2025-26 Hoops hobby box has been selling for about $225 to $270 on eBay, so the room above $189.99 is smaller than it looks.

2026-27 Hoops eBay sold prices: what it's selling for

We checked eBay on November 10, 2026.

• 2026-27 Hoops hobby box, sold: none yet. Completed listings came back empty.
• Comparable, 2025-26 Hoops hobby box (sealed, Buy It Now, over $100): recent sales mostly closed between $225 and $270: $225 and $269.90 on November 4, $259 on October 25 and 23, $240 on October 22, $269 on October 18 and $245 on October 13. A few went higher, around $340.
• Comparable, 2025-26 Hoops jumbo box: mostly $375 to $450 since mid-October, with one sale at $599.99 on November 10.

Those are last year's boxes, selling through a different rookie class. They show where the Hoops brand settles, not where the new one will open.

The math: what does a Hoops hobby box clear after fees?

eBay charges 13.25% plus $0.40 on a trading card sale, on the sale price plus shipping and tax.

• If it sells like last year's box (about $250): fees are roughly $34, leaving about $216. Against $189.99 plus tax, that is a gain of only $15 to $25 before shipping.
• If it sells at $225: fees are about $30, leaving about $195. That is roughly break-even once tax and shipping are counted.
• If it lands near $275: fees are about $37, leaving about $238, a gain of roughly $40 to $45.

These are illustrations from last year's sales, not forecasts.

Is the 2026-27 Topps Hoops Basketball hobby box worth it?

Probably not as a flip. The hobby box is $189.99 and last year's Hoops hobby box sold for about $225 to $270 (checked November 10, 2026). After fees that leaves a thin gain at best, and our sports card lead expects plenty of supply against modest demand.

Flip, hold or pass? Our take

ML, who runs sports cards in our Discord, posted this before the pre-order opened:

1. Better than last year, still not the one. The timing, price and look are improved, but ML doesn't expect Hoops to outperform flagship, and thinks flagship ages better.
2. Demand cools fast on release. Flagship, the first product with the new class, didn't climb above last year's market even with higher retail. ML expects the same fade.
3. Supply is the problem. There is a full retail lineup, so there should be plenty compared to demand, and singles don't sell well.
4. Last year's price was the flop. Hoops was far more expensive last year and didn't hold, so the lower price helps but isn't a reason by itself.

Our read: pass unless you specifically want basketball product to open. If you do buy, a small pre-order flip is the only play, and only if you can sell before the December 10 release.

What to watch

• First eBay sales. Whether presales close above or below $250.
• Flagship and Stadium Club prices. Hoops tends to follow the market for the rookie class.
• Release-date changes. Topps says dates can move.
• Jumbo pricing. Topps hasn't posted one yet.
