As Topps unveils its most innovative Chrome card collection to date, Jude Bellingham takes a starring role in the launch film.
Topps, the premier trading card brand of Fanatics Collectibles, has launched its Chrome UEFA Club Competitions 2024/25 trading card collection with a high-energy short film titled Greatness in your Hands, starring Real Madrid midfielder, Jude Bellingham.
In the 30-second clip, Jude Bellingham playfully prepares for the ultimate collector’s moment, tearing open film reels and VHS videos in search of Europe’s greatest footballing moments. After unwrapping a retro reel covered in foil – a nod to the nostalgia of classic card collecting – he’s immersed in unforgettable moments from European nights gone by. The spot culminates with Jude holding the new Chrome UCC collection, declaring: “You know you’ve made it… when you get to hold all of them in your hands.”
The new Topps Chrome UCC card set unites the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and European Conference League competitions in one singular collection, offering newcomers and seasoned collectors more rare inserts, exclusive formats, and first-time innovations than ever before.
Key highlights include:
Autograph Innovations: for the first time, quad autographs (signed by four players) will be available in Chrome packs, along with signatures from Lamine Yamal, Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland, global icons such as Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho, and the first ever autographs from legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
Chase Rookies of the Season: featuring the most anticipated young talent in football, including Endrick and Ethan Nwaneri.
All-New Case Hits: featuring short-printed cards to chase; Radiating Rookies, Circle of Power, Munich at Night, Helix and Topps Chrome White Noise.

Patrick Rausch, chief Marketing officer EMEA of Fanatics Collectibles, commented: “With the European finals fast approaching, anticipation among collectors is already sky-high. Jude Bellingham brings that excitement to life perfectly in our new campaign. This year’s Topps Chrome UCC set celebrates the legends of European football, the stars of tomorrow, and everything fans love about the beautiful game.”
