The NBA season is almost here, and a new year means new storylines, breakout performances, rookie debuts, and plenty of reasons for collectors to be watching closely.

To celebrate the start of the 2026–27 season, COMC is launching NBA Tip-Off, a six-day sales event running Oct. 20–25, featuring free seller promotions, special eBay Live opportunities, and more ways to get your basketball cards in front of active buyers.

From established superstars and rising young talent to this year’s rookie class, the opening week of the NBA season can quickly put new players and cards in the spotlight. Running a seller promotion during NBA Tip-Off can help give your basketball inventory more visibility while collector attention turns back to the hardwood.
