Kaboom Meets Cardboard: VeeFriends ERUPT! Turns the Heat Up on Topps Chrome

Gary Vee just lit a match under the hobby world—and it’s erupting in spectacular fashion.

The freshly launched 2025 Topps Chrome VeeFriends set brings Gary Vaynerchuk’s quirky, lovable, and sometimes suspiciously wise NFT characters to the world of physical trading cards. But the real headliner? A red-hot subset called ERUPT!—and yes, it’s just as explosive as it sounds.

Think Kaboom! meets motivational woodland creatures. The ERUPT! cards mash up comic book chaos with pop-art power, brought to life by none other than Hungarian artist Gyula Németh—the same visual wizard whose work has become synonymous with loud, shiny, and oh-so-coveted cardboard.

Németh takes VeeFriends characters and gives them the full high-voltage treatment. The cards pop off the chrome like they’ve been caffeinated, bedazzled, and launched into another dimension. Bright colors? Check. Bold lines? You bet. Existentially empathetic elephants and pumas with emotional intelligence? Naturally.

So, Who’s ERUPTING?​

The ERUPT! checklist reads like a Dr. Seuss book co-authored by a motivational speaker:

  • Alert Ape
  • Common Sense Cow
  • Considerate Cowboy
  • Courageous Cockatoo
  • Cynical Cat
  • Empathy Elephant
  • Fly Firefly
  • Headstrong Honey Badger
  • Perceptive Puma
  • Tremendous Tiger
Each card wraps up Vaynerchuk’s triple-threat message—entertainment, empathy, and education—into one shiny piece of motivational mayhem.

But Just How Rare Are We Talking?​

These aren’t cards you’ll casually pull while sipping your cold brew. Odds for ERUPT! cards are 1 in 3,000 hobby packs and a mind-numbing 1 in 9,000 blaster packs. That’s right—you’re more likely to find a unicorn juggling Funko Pops. And if you're gunning for the true unicorns, look no further than the Black Lava /10 and the mythical Superfractor 1/1 versions.

These aren't just inserts—they're cardboard legends in the making.


Digital DNA, Physical Flex​

VeeFriends ERUPT! isn’t just another gimmick—it’s a statement. A digital-born franchise fully crossing into the physical world with one of the hobby's most luxurious brands and an artist who knows how to make cardboard scream. It’s Web3 meets wax packs, and it’s not just for NFT loyalists—it’s for every collector chasing a thrill.

Whether you’re a long-time Gary Vee disciple or just want to pull a chrome fire-breathing tiger with comic-book eyes, ERUPT! might just be the hobby’s most delightful identity crisis yet.
