Which Will Richard 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 #287, with Golden State. He also has RC-tagged base cards in Bowman and Topps Chrome Update, plus Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome and Chrome Update rookie autographs.

How to identify your Will Richard card and check what it sold for
- Find the year and maker on the back of your Will Richard 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 Will Richard rookie cards in eBay's sold listings or eBay's price guide for that exact card.
