Add The California Post on Google De’Zhaun Stribling wants his 1-of-1 Topps Chrome refractor back.
And he told The California Post he’s ready to make a sweet deal for it.
The 49ers’ top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft first laid his eyes on the card while he was in downtown Los Angeles earlier this month for the NFLPA’s annual Rookie Premiere event.
De’Zhaun Stribling was taken by the 49ers with the 33rd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. AP The 23-year-old receiver was signing thousands of Topps products as part of his responsibilities at the get-together, when the 1-of-1 suddenly made its way in front of his pen.
“I was like,” Stribling said in an exclusive interview with The Post last week, “‘I really wish that I could just keep this for myself.'”
Stribling then revealed that he’s “for sure” willing to facilitate a trade with whoever is lucky enough to pull it from a pack later this year.
De’Zhaun Stribling told The California Post this month he wants his 1-of-1 Topps Chrome refractor back. Getty Images “I probably wouldn’t do like a number amount, but we can definitely trade something,” he said. “I’ll get you a jersey or we can definitely work something out.”
Stribling admittedly isn’t the biggest collector. Outside of Cam Newton and Steve Smith signed jerseys he was able to score when he was a young Carolina Panthers fan, he said there’s not much sports memorabilia in his possession.
But, he did say that now that he’s an NFLer, that might change.
Stribling told The Post he was able to open up some Topps packs at the NFLPA Rookie Premiere and he kept cards that featured his new 49ers teammates.
Ones that he no doubt believes would look good someday next to his own rare piece of cardboard.
