2025-26 Topps Signature Class Rajon Rondo Algorithm Acetate SSP #AL-5 Celtics

Rajon Rondo's Algorithm Acetate SSP #AL-5 from 2025-26 Topps Signature Class Basketball is the card that belongs in every serious Celtics collection. The Algorithm insert is designed to celebrate the game's most cerebral playmakers — and it's printed on acetate, elevating the visual impact the moment it hits your hand. The SSP designation makes it a true short print, not a box staple, and the Acetate parallel takes the rarity a step further with a transparent substrate that sets it apart from every standard insert in the hobby right now.

• Set: 2025-26 Topps Signature Class Basketball — the first time the Signature Class brand has featured the full NBA license, adding a layer of collectability the football debut never had.
• Insert: Algorithm highlights the players who dominate by thinking the game, and both Algorithm and its companion inserts make use of acetate to enhance the visual impact in the collector's hand.
• Parallel rarity: Algorithm's numbered parallels run Orange #/50, Red #/25, Gold #/10, Blue #/5, Black #/10, and Superfractor #/1 — placing this SSP Acetate firmly at the premium tier of the checklist.
• Checklist company: Rondo sits in the Algorithm set alongside names like LeBron James, Allen Iverson, John Stockton, Steve Nash, and Nikola Jokić — a who's-who of basketball IQ royalty.
• The product: This year's release features a compelling spectrum of card technology, from foilboard and paper to chromium and acetate , making the acetate Algorithm one of the most visually distinct formats in the entire set.

Rondo's four-championship legacy — including his 2008 NBA title run orchestrating the Boston Celtics — is exactly what the Algorithm concept was built to honor. This card is already attracting strong collector attention, with 13 people actively watching the listing on eBay. If you're building a Rondo PC, a Celtics legends shelf, or simply want a Topps Signature Class Acetate SSP that will age well, #AL-5 is the one to own.
