2025-26 Topps Chrome Sapphire Edition Chrome Autographs Rookies Padparadscha #TCAR-CF Cooper Flagg Signed Rookie Card (#1/1) - PSA NM 7
Record sales
Updated August 8, 2026
$366,000
The current Cooper Flagg record-holder is a true one-of-one Chrome Sapphire rookie autograph, a combination of flagship Topps branding, color rarity, and first-year prestige that immediately reset his market ceiling.
$240,000
A one-of-one Bowman Chrome Rose Gold Mojo rookie autograph adds another true trophy result to Flagg's rapidly developing market and now stands as his second-highest verified public sale.
$197,640
A Topps Chrome SuperFractor is exactly the sort of flagship one-of-one the market wants to crown early, so this sale has real benchmark value for Flagg.
$194,803
A Superfractor autograph from Flagg's 2025 Topps Chrome run is exactly the kind of card the market treats like a cornerstone prospect grail, especially once it is paired with a PSA holder and true 1/1 scarcity.
$180,000
Silver Pack Chrome branding is a narrower lane than flagship Chrome, but a true rookie auto Superfractor still has enough hobby shorthand to rank near the very top of Flagg's board.
$168,000
Dual-autograph one-of-ones are always a narrower collector lane, yet pairing Flagg with Kon Knueppel on a Foilfractor draft card created a headline result strong enough to land comfortably inside his top tier.
$162,000
Gold Refractor still reads like a clean flagship chase lane, which is why serious buyers treat this as a meaningful step below the true one-of-ones.
$158,639
A lone FoilFractor rookie without an autograph still made the top ten because collectors are treating Flagg's earliest true one-of-ones as market-setting pieces even when the appeal is driven purely by scarcity and timing.
$158,600
A Red Refractor /5 is not a one-of-one, yet this copy still cracked the board because early Flagg chromium color in a PSA holder is drawing serious bidding depth.
$156,000
Even without the earlier DNA-10 bump, another PSA 10 Gold Refractor sale confirms that Flagg's flagship Chrome autograph floor is rising fast.
Collector context
Record-sale context
The current Cooper Flagg record-holder is a true one-of-one Chrome Sapphire rookie autograph, a combination of flagship Topps branding, color rarity, and first-year prestige that immediately reset his market ceiling.
Rookie-card benchmark
Flagg's current verified public rookie-card record remains a true one-of-one Chrome Sapphire autograph. The newer Chrome Update Rookie Debut Patch Autograph is not part of this answer because no completed sale was verified as of Aug. 8, 2026.
How the market is layered
Flagg's market starts with a distinction older Panini-era habits do not solve: his licensed NBA rookie ladder is Topps-led. The flagship 2025-26 Topps and Topps Chrome base or Refractor cards are the broad reference points; Chrome color and rookie autographs form the premium middle; Sapphire Padparadscha, flagship Superfractors, FoilFractors, and the best one-of-one autographs make up a much thinner trophy tier. The new Topps Chrome Update Rookie Debut Patch Autograph 1/1 is a separate, unsold live chase as of Aug. 8, 2026, not a completed-sale comp. Prep, college, draft, and Topps Now issues belong in separate lanes, even when their serial numbers look impressive.
Cards that define the market
Where collectors get it wrong
Flagg's market is unusually dependent on collectors learning a new Topps-era hierarchy because there is no Panini Prizm rookie to act as familiar shorthand. The sharper read is to separate flagship NBA Chrome and its recognized color or autograph branches from earlier prospect issues and novelty scarcity, then demand a meaningful discount whenever the card needs a long explanation.
