Which Javon Small card is the real rookie card
Topps took over the NBA card license from Panini on October 1, 2025, so his 2025-26 rookie cards are Topps products. He is not in the 2025-26 Topps flagship base set; his first RC is 2025-26 Topps Chrome #299, with Memphis. He also has RC-tagged base cards in Bowman and Topps Chrome Update, plus Bowman Chrome and Chrome Update rookie autographs and a 1/1 NBA Debut Patch Autograph.

How to identify your Javon Small card and check what it sold for
- Find the year and maker on the back of your Javon Small card, and the card number, usually top or bottom on the back.
- Check the front and back for a serial number (for example 23/99) and for a colored or patterned finish: those mark a parallel, which is a different card from the base version.
- Look for the RC logo or the word Rookie. A card from before the first pro season, such as a Bowman 1st or a college card, is a prospect card, not a rookie card.
- Note any grade on the slab label (PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC). A raw card and a graded one are different listings.
- Search sold listings for that exact year, set, number, parallel and grade. What a card sold for is a better guide than any asking price.
Check Javon Small rookie cards in eBay's sold listings or eBay's price guide for that exact card.
