Reed Sheppard's new Topps trading card is a must-have for BBN
Isn’t the NIL era a blast? No more generic t-shirts and jerseys to buy for birthdays and Christmas. Today, you’re able to get your loved ones exactly the gifts they’re looking for. And we have just the thing for all you Reed Sheppard fans out there.
No. 15 is set to release his first Topps Bowman U Chrome Basketball card on January 19, celebrating his status as a Kentucky native and hometown hero.
“Hometown hero (Reed Sheppard) doesn’t follow footsteps, he’s blazing his own path,” Topps said of the star Wildcat.
Sheppard previously had a 2023-24 Bowman U Now® card released back in December, which sold out quickly. Rob Dillingham, DJ Wagner and Aaron Bradshaw had their own versions of the cards in the series, which celebrate college basketball’s greatest moments as they happen.
