2025-26 Topps Chrome Update Ace Bailey RC #155 Aqua RayWave Refractor /199

Ace Bailey landed in Salt Lake City as the 5th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and his rookie season validated every bit of that billing. The Utah Jazz small forward played in 72 games, averaged 13.8 points and 4.2 rebounds per game, and caught fire after the All-Star break — posting 18.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.0 assists across 23 starts down the stretch. He posted a career-high 33 points against the Bucks and delivered 20-plus-point performances 14 times on the season. The 2025 NBA Draft class is being called historically deep, and Bailey has been a central reason why.

This card is his official Topps Chrome Update RC (#155) — one of the hobby's most trusted rookie card platforms — dressed in the Aqua RayWave Refractor parallel, hand-numbered to just /199. The RayWave treatment layers a distinctive radiating wave pattern over Chrome's signature prismatic stock, making it a sharper, more visually dynamic pull than the standard Aqua Refractor. At /199, it sits at an attainable but genuinely short print run — rarer than any unnumbered parallel and several steps above the base tier, while still carrying strong secondary market liquidity. Comparable Aqua /199 Bailey Chrome rookie cards have moved in the $30–$45 raw range on the secondary market.
