Duke’s Cooper Flagg signs multi-year trading card and memorabilia deal with Topps and Fanatics!
Fanatics and Fanatics Collectibles announced on Friday an exclusive, multi-year deal with Duke basketball standout Cooper Flagg, who is widely expected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft!
The deal includes both memorabilia and trading cards, allowing for Flagg autographs and game-used items to be included in his cards produced by Fanatics/Topps. Flagg has already been featured in print-to-order Topps Now cards, but the first full product release to include him will be 2025 Bowman University Chrome Basketball.
Topps produced a “Welcome to the Family” video to mark the deal, narrated by Duke legend Grant Hill and featuring cards of other hobby luminaries and Fanatics exclusive athletes, like Victor Wembanyama, Paul Skenes, Aaron Judge and C.J. Stroud. It ends with the reveal of Flagg’s 1st Bowman card — a pre-rookie card that is widely considered one of a given player’s most coveted among collectors.
The 6-foot-9, 18-year-old Flagg set the ACC freshman scoring record by posting 42 points against Notre Dame on Saturday. He’s carved out his place as a generational prospect with unique defensive prowess, whether sitting on his opponent’s hip, stalking the passing lanes or blocking shots with his length timing. He can guard all five positions and this season, he has battled fellow freshman Dylan Harper of Rutgers for the No. 1 spot in mock drafts, with virtually all the experts placing the pair head and shoulders above the rest of the field.
“Flagg is one of the best two-way players I’ve seen at the high school level in a long time,” wrote The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie in his 2025 NBA mock draft. “Largely, that’s based on his processing ability. For a teenager, he thinks the game faster than everyone else. … Flagg is the ultimate winner and competitor, and the exact kind of player I’d want to join my organization.”
Trace ‘N Chase is a proud Authorized Retailer for Topps & Fanatics products, carries a wide lineup of trading cards and will happily offerCooper Flagg licensed products when they become available!
