NBA fans and collectors turned to Rhode Island Monday night. That’s an odd sentence since there’s no team located in the country’s smallest state, but a local card shop in Rhode Island pulled star rookie Cooper Flagg’s best card in existence for one of its customers.
The sports-card world, affectionately known as “the hobby,” coveted Flagg’s one-of-one rookie debut patch autograph hidden within the Topps Chrome Update Basketball set which released on Thursday. The card includes the “NBA debut” patch that Flagg wore on his jersey during his first game on Oct. 22, 2025. Flagg signed the card at Fanatics Fest last month and even admitted he was “a little nervous” to do so.
