On July 21, 2021 former NBA great Kenny Anderson tweeted a picture of himself autographing Topps Finest cards at a Starbucks. The box of cards is labeled Topps FInest Basketball 2023(?) and the instructions say to sign them with blue ink on the front and to let the card dry for 60 seconds. 

Hopefully they aren't some A&G/Goodwins Champions type rubbish but it is interesting with Panini holding the sad NBA exclusive. Maybe Topps will insert them into a Finest baseball product? Is there hope for NBA card competition?

I'm interested to find out what comes of this.  There was something like this in the last two or three years...maybe with Tyler Herro?

Signing 2023 cards in July 2021? Very interesting.

Is it possible they are going to go the unlicensed route like Panini with baseball?  There doesn't seem to be any team logos associated with the card he is signing. 
 

Also what kind of card box is that? Doesn't look to be BCW.  Never even seen a brown one that I can recall.  

It could be a college related set too. They might be trying to reach and make some college cards with the new NIL

I love Kenny Anderson.  Got to babysit his watch once.
