2025 Topps Chrome VeeFriends Checklist

Topps Chrome's take on Gary Vaynerchuk's VeeFriends characters, with Manga Speckle, 1975-design variations and entrepreneur autographs

2025 Chrome VeeFriends is a Topps Chrome set built around the VeeFriends characters created by Gary Vaynerchuk. Topps's official checklist numbers 287 cards: a 100-card base set, 25 Topps 1975 Base Card Variations and six insert sets. Topps's launch page describes 18 packs of 4 cards per hobby box, with 3 numbered parallels or short prints per box. This page also lists 25 Entrepreneur Elf cards (12 unsigned, 13 autographs) that Topps's PDF leaves out. Their codes come from a secondary source and are labelled as such.

What's in the checklist

• Base: 100 characters, numbered 1-100
• Parallels: on the base set, from Shimmer Refractor /250 down through Raywave, Wave, VF Green, Pink, Gold, Orange, Purple, Black and Red Refractors to SuperFractor 1/1. Refractor is hobby-only; Yellow Refractor and Blast Off 1/1 come in value boxes. Each insert has its own smaller ladder, following Topps's odds sheet, and Iconics has no listed parallels
• Variations: Topps 1975 Base Card Variation (25 cards on the 1975 Topps baseball design, regular version numbered /75, with a SuperFractor 1/1). Very, Very, Very, Very, Lucky Black Cat also has short-printed eye-colour image variations. These are image variations, not colour parallels, and are not separate rows
• Inserts: Sketch to Screen (12), Game On! (10), VeeFriends Y2K (10), Iconics (20), Erupt! (10), Manga Speckle Set (100) and Entrepreneur Elf's Favorite Entrepreneurs (12, secondary source)
• Autographs: Entrepreneur Elf's Favorite Entrepreneurs Autographs (13, secondary source). Topps's launch page and odds sheet confirm the autographs exist. One-of-one sketch cards and Gary Vaynerchuk Blank Canvas sketch cards are mentioned in Topps's materials, but they are not listed as card rows

Notable subjects

Grading considerations

Chrome and refractor surfaces show scratches, print lines and dimples easily, so inspect the face under angled light before the corners and edges. Check centering against the border on both sides. Confirm the character art and card code match the checklist, since Chrome, Sapphire and Manga Speckle versions of the same character look alike. Tell a hand-drawn sketch card from a printed one, and check each signature for smudging, fading and completeness.
