2025-26 Bowmen Basketball Javon Small Speckle Auto /299
Javon Small put Memphis on notice his very first NBA season — 9.7 points, 3.7 assists, and 3.1 rebounds per game as a rookie for the Grizzlies after arriving as a 48th-overall pick who had just put up 18.6 points and 5.6 assists at West Virginia and earned All-Big 12 First Team honors. This 2025-26 Bowman Basketball Chrome Prospect Autograph Speckle Refractor #/299 is a hard-signed rookie card from the most consequential basketball card release in nearly two decades.
2025-26 Bowman Basketball marks the brand's first fully licensed NBA release since 2008-09 — a 17-year absence — and makes history as the first product ever to combine licensed NBA and NCAA players on the same checklist under one roof. The hobby is paying attention. The Speckle Refractor parallel slots into the sweet spot of the auto parallel ladder: rarer than the base Refractor (/499), with only 299 copies in existence, sitting ahead of the Purple (/250), Blue (/150), and the ultra-scarce Red (/5) and 1/1 Superfractor above it.

Small is exactly the kind of two-way, high-IQ guard who ages well in a collector's binder — and this Speckle auto, pulled from a set the hobby has been waiting 17 years to open, is his first nationally distributed certified signature on a Chrome canvas. At 299 copies across the entire print run, the window to own one at current prices won't stay open long.
