2025-26 Topps Chrome Update Kon Knueppel Image Variation Speckle Refractor RC #154

Kon Knueppel was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and he wasted no time justifying the selection. The Charlotte Hornets shooting guard earned a spot on the 2025-26 KIA NBA All-Rookie First Team, put up 30-point performances multiple times in his debut season, and collected Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month honors — all while helping push Charlotte back toward playoff relevance for the first time in years. His rookie cards are already one of the hottest chases in the hobby.

This specific card layers three things that matter: a certified rookie card, an Image Variation, and the Speckle Refractor parallel — a combination that makes it a legitimate short-print pull in 2025-26 Topps Chrome Update Basketball. Image Variations in this product feature an alternate posed photograph exclusive to the variant, printed with a distinctive Speckle foil finish that does not appear anywhere in the standard Chrome base set. Active raw comps for this Knueppel Image Variation Speckle are trading at or above $100.
