Once solely the domain of baseball players and movie cowboys, trading cards have become a more inclusive medium in the internet era. Now industry titan Topps Chrome is paying homage to some of the creators that helped build that modern internet era.
Launching on Wednesday, June 10, the second set of “VeeFriends” trading cards from Topps Chrome will include 13 “Content Condor’s Favorite Content Creators” insert cards that highlight notable internet personalities such as Mr. Beast, Gary Vaynerchuk, Kam Patterson, Jake Paul, Livvy Dunne, Mel Robbins, Chris Brickley, Cody “Clix” Conrod, and Kyle “Mongraal” Jackson. The content creator cards will include one main set and one autography-only set. Den of Geek was provided an exclusive first look at the sure to be highly sought after autographed MrBeast card.
The nine Content Condor’s Favorite Content Creators cards will be accompanied by four other chase card formats: “Erupt!” cards featuring 20 characters from the VeeFriends universe, “Comic Clippings” cards featuring cutouts directly pulled from VeeFriends Comics Issues 1–10, “Manga Speckle” featuring 100 characters reimagined in a manga art style, and “Chalkboard” featuring 20 characters sketched in chalk lines.
While the secondary market will make clear which of the 13 inserts in this second set of VeeFriends cards is most valuable, a signed MrBeast card is certain to be in contention for the top spot. Jimmy Donaldson a.k.a. MrBeast is the most successful online content creator ever by almost any metric. With 497 million subscribers, his channel is the most popular on YouTube and his Prime Video reality competition series Beast Games concluded its second season in February with the crowning of a $5 million dollar champion.
