Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
In this video, host Joe conducts a two-box break of the 2025/26 Topps Chrome Black Basketball set on a random Thursday release, utilizing a "Pick Your Team" format where viewers can select their preferred franchise. Before opening the packs, Joe explains the box selection process, which involves rolling dice to determine that boxes four and five will be reserved for Pick Your Team Four, currently available in his shop. He notes that while some teams are inexpensive, there is still a strong possibility of hitting valuable cards tonight, and he briefly mentions the durability of the toner on his camera equipment before diving into the break.
The opening packs yield a Dylan Harper rookie card and an orange Noah Syndergaard card, providing a solid start for the session. Joe highlights that this set traditionally features one encased autograph per case, similar to recent years, and reveals that the Chicago Bulls' pick went to J Hawk Sox while the Dylan Harper base card was awarded to Buff82. He also points out that the boxes used for this break are significantly smaller than in previous years of Topps Chrome Black, likely containing only a fraction of the cards found in standard cases from earlier seasons.
As the break continues, more notable names emerge, including William McNeely and Coby White, with McNeely's card going to BrianW84 and the Hornets. A purple autograph card numbered 41 out of 75 is pulled for Lachlan Albricht and assigned to J Hawk Sox, while Kon Knippel's rookie card makes its debut in this specific set for a viewer. The excitement builds with Keegan Murray appearing twice, once as a base rookie for Ray and the Grizzlies and again as a jumbo logo rookie for Cody and the Kings, alongside an autograph by Amari Williams that goes to R. Harold Boston.
Throughout the video, Joe maintains an engaging tone, encouraging viewers to try their luck with Pick Your Team Four given the potential for hidden gems lurking within the boxes. He mentions having loose pristine baseball cards available for personal requests if anyone is interested in those specific items. The break concludes with a sense of anticipation, as Joe suggests that something big might still be waiting to be found and invites everyone to check out the pinned break in his shop before signing off for the next session.

Hi everybody, Joe here for Jaspy's on
Fanatics Live coming at you with another
two-box break of 25 26 Topps Chrome
Black Basketball on a Thursday. Kind of
a random Thursday release. Sometimes
Topps has been doing that these days.
Pick your team three.
Might have to change the ink out pretty
soon.
I'm going to shake the toner a little
bit. Try to make that last. Big thanks
everybody for making this happen. Thank
you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Buff. Last spot Mojo star next to his
name with the Spurs.
If it sits, it hits, they say.
Last spot Mojo
70% of the time hits all the time, they
say. We'll see.
Good luck.
All right.
Let's roll the die. We'll go 1 2 3 for
the top two boxes, 4 5 6 for the bottom
two boxes.
And it is five. 1 2 3 4 5 6 bottom two
boxes. So, these will be reserved for
pick your team four.
There you go, which is in the shop right
now. In fact, if you're watching live,
that's the pinned break right now. We're
almost halfway there. A lot of teams are
pretty inexpensive, and I feel like
we've got a good shot at getting that
done tonight.
So, let's do it. All right. Let's see
what we got here these two.
This is a quick [snorts] little break.
Pricey for for just one in case auto and
a couple packs, but
like with any break, if we get the right
players,
be uh could be big for us. All right.
Now, the first half of unfortunately for
the people that were in break one and
two, the first half
a little underwhelming. So, hopefully,
let's cross our fingers. Hopefully, we
can make a little more noise
in the last two breaks here. Nice, Dylan
Harper rookie card. There we go. That's
a good start.
And orange, Noah Syndergaard.
We'll take some orange as well.
Uh football and baseball
also had one encased.
Just one encased auto. That's
traditionally how it's been for Topps
Chrome Black in recent years.
Uh Chicago Bulls, that's going to go to
J Hawk Sox.
And the Dylan Harper, Buff82.
Um
the boxes are much smaller though.
Remember like
previous years of Topps Chrome Black, it
would probably be the size of like maybe
three or four of these small boxes.
All right, next pack.
William McNeely to 299 and Coby White.
William McNeely will go to BrianW84
and the Hornets.
All right, come on encased auto.
Be the auto.
Good luck.
It is going to be for the Bulls. It is
Lachlan Albricht.
Purple auto, 41 out of 75. That'll go to
J Hawk Sox.
And the Chicago Bulls.
All right, let's see what we got in the
second box.
Oh, that's right. Yeah.
She's got that in an instant.
Uh Shy Dog, we do have a few personals
of pristine.
Got a few loose boxes if you uh
if you want to get that.
I can go do those as a personal for you.
Yeah.
More hit opportunities in the in that
pristine baseball, especially if you're
a baseball fan.
There's Kon Knippel rookie card and Liam
McNeely to 299 and a VJ Edgecombe.
So, Liam McNeely
again, that'll be for
Brian W84.
And you'll also get this rookie Kon
Knippel, first one of these I've seen.
And then the VJ Edgecombe will go to
Palm and the 76ers.
All right.
Pack and then the in-case auto. Pick
your team four two box break.
Pinned right now.
Give it a shot.
Keegan
Murray 13 out of 99 and Danny Wolf with
the jumbo rookie logo. I think those
only fall like one or two per case.
That's our second one of this one.
All right, fingers crossed everybody.
Keegan Murray's going to go to Cody and
the Kings.
Keegan Murray base rookie is going to go
to uh Ray and the Grizz.
Come on.
Come on, autograph.
Let's do it.
All right, good luck everybody.
The auto is going to be
Amari Williams rookie auto.
So two rookie autos, but
not the big names here, but R. Harold
Boston, he'll get this one.
And that my friends is that.
Another two box break of Topps Chrome
Black in the in the books. Like I said,
pick a team four in the store right now.
I feel like there's got to be something
something big lurking in there, so give
it a try. Let's Let's find out one way
or the other. Thanks for watching
everybody. I'm Joe, and I'll see
everybody next time for the next break.
Bye.
