Topps NOW has announced a new card commemorating LeBron James and son, Bronny, appearing in the same game together Tuesday night to kick off the NBA's 2024-25 regular season.

The cards, which retail for $11.99 each, will be available for purchase until Saturday. A variety of parallels for the card will be randomly inserted into orders for the base card, while a redemption for a 1/1 Dual On-Card Autograph from the duo will replace the order of one base card.

In addition to the 1/1 Dual Auto, base card parallels will include Green /99, Blue /75, Gold /50, Orange /25, Black /10, Red /5 and a 1/1 FoilFractor.

The father-son duo appeared on the floor together Tuesday night when James Jr. entered the Lakers’ season-opening win over the Minnesota Timberwolves with four minutes left in the second quarter.

James Jr. played three minutes and finished 0-for-2 from the floor with one rebound.

The only father-son pair to appear in an NBA game together, the James’ were the most anticipated debut for a father-son tandem to play together since Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr. played with the Seattle Mariners during the 1990 and 1991 seasons.

The Topps NOW card for LeBron and Bronny follows a number of similar releases that feature one or more significant chase cards.

Among those has been a 1/1 triple autograph featuring James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant from the Olympic Games, which has yet to surface roughly two months since it went on sale.

Topps followed that drop, which resulted in a then-record 588,035 orders for the base card, with a similar chase for a Shohei Ohtani card celebrating his historic 50-50 season. Featuring a 1/1 Gold parallel with “50/50 Club 9/19/24” autograph inscription, that release resulted in a Topps NOW-record 653,737 orders for the base card.
