Duke men's basketball star Cooper Flagg has signed an exclusive multi-year contract with Topps and Fanatics, the company announced Friday.
The deal will include trading cards, autographs and game-worn memorabilia that will be inserted into cards. Financial details for the deal weren’t immediately made available.
According to Fanatics, Flagg’s first flagship trading cards will appear in 2025 Bowman University Chrome. The freshman forward had previously been featured on a number of cards from Topps’ print-to-demand Bowman NOW brand.
Topps also released a video alongside the signing with narration from former Duke star Grant Hill.
Already among the best players in college basketball, Flagg, 18, has averaged nearly 19 points and just over 8 rebounds per game for the Blue Devils (15-2). Flagg is also considered one of the favorites to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
According to data tool Card Ladder, the highest public sale for a Flagg card to date is the $3,800 paid for his 2024-25 Bowman U NOW 1/1 earlier this month.
