Topps revealed the latest addition to its lineup of Logoman patches Wednesday, sharing previews for cards created using relics worn during the Christmas Day games.

Images show booklet cards with the player and an on-card autograph on the left and a Logoman surrounded by a snowflake on the right. Christmas games have long been an important part of the NBA calendar, dating back to the league’s inaugural season in 1946.

A symbol that appears to be an “A” also appears on the card to possibly preview a yet-to-be-announced upcoming product from Topps’ lineup of basketball products.

According to Topps, “various” players will wear the patches Christmas. Additional details weren’t immediately made available.

Wednesday’s announcement is the latest expansion for Topps’ lineup of Logoman patches, which now includes Gold Logoman patches for the NBA and MLB as well as Logoman patches in limited Dynasty Black releases, which attempt to link cards directly to specific moments.

To date, the record for a Gold Logoman card is the $3 million paid for a Shohei Ohtani 1/1 earlier this month.

The record for a Dynasty Black Logoman is the $1,067,000 paid for a card featuring a logo from the pants Ohtani wore during his historic 50/50 game.
