This is Sapphire's largest basketball base set to date. Purple now sits at /75, Black occupies the /10 slot used by Purple in earlier seasons, and the one-of-one remains Padparadscha.

Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition Parallel Guide
Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition recasts selected Chrome-era basketball subjects on Sapphire-exclusive stock and keeps its own base, insert, and autograph ladders. The exact season matters: distribution, base-set size, color positions, and signature families all change across the three releases.
Research note
A Sapphire name is a product identity, not shorthand for a blue flagship Refractor. Printed serials remain exact; pack odds describe the release format and should not be converted into per-player supply when Topps does not publish the eligible subject list.
