Three tiers and a deep rainbow
Select is built on its three base tiers, Concourse, Premier and Courtside, which climb in scarcity as you go. The parallel rainbow runs from unnumbered Zebra and Dragon Scale up through Gold numbered to 10 and Black Finite as a one of one. Published checklists also list Tie-Dye numbered to 25 and Green numbered to 5 along the way.
Hobby-exclusive inserts include En Fuego, Select Future and Introductions, alongside the new Notoriety and Select Buckets sets. The box itself calls out ultra-rare Color Wheel, Stained Glass and Solar Eclipse inserts.
The rookie class
The 2025-26 rookie class is the draw here, with the first-year group headlined by Cooper Flagg's draft class. First-year players on the published checklist include Tre Johnson III (Concourse 3), Derik Queen (17), Asa Newell (24), Carter Bryant (29), VJ Edgecombe (38), Cedric Coward (39) and Khaman Maluach (43). VJ Edgecombe and Darius Acuff Jr. are pictured on the box.

About the set

The checklist mixes current and retired NBA players, top rookies, and college and international players. The hobby release date is October 23, 2026.
