Chrome UCC is Back with Another Amazing Lineup
The 2024/25 edition of Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions delivers the brand’s most ambitious insert lineup yet, anchored by triple-tiered electric-themed cards and multi-signature autos from legends, rookies, and UEFA icons. Topps Chrome UCC returns as the flagship Chrome release for European club soccer, covering stars from the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.
Built for soccer fans and chrome collectors alike, this release expands on past years with bold new concepts across inserts and autographs, including debuting quad-signed cards and one of the rarest insert chases ever introduced in the product. Collectors can find the release in Retail, Hobby, and Jumbo formats, each offering unique exclusives and configuration options.
With more top-tier signers, vibrant designs, and ambitious insert storytelling, this year’s edition builds on the momentum of 2023/24 and raises the bar for UEFA-themed Chrome collecting.
Breaking Down the 2024-25 Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions Base Set
The base set totals 400 cards and features players from all three UEFA club competitions, blending veterans, breakout stars, and global rookies. Cards are printed on Topps’ signature Chrome stock, with a clean layout accented by team color and position details.
Refractors and format-exclusive parallels offer deep variation layers across retail and hobby SKUs. Retail boxes deliver two Refractors per, while Jumbo boxes include six exclusive Speckled Refractors. Hobby formats offer additional depth through standard Refractors, Pulsars, and card-level parallels across autographs and inserts.
Let’s Talk Autographs
Autographs remain a cornerstone of the product, with several key additions to the lineup in 2024/25. Chrome Autograph Cards return with a mix of current stars, all-time greats, and rising talent.
For the first time in Topps Chrome UCC, collectors will find Chrome Quad Autograph Cards, which feature four signatures on a single card. Notable combinations include a Barcelona legends card with Messi, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, and Stoichkov, and a unique media-themed version with Kate Abdo, Micah Richards, Thierry Henry, and Jamie Carragher.
Also new is the Campeone Auto Book, a booklet-style card that brings together four players who’ve won the UCL or UEL together. Lineups include club-specific groupings such as Shevchenko, Pirlo, Seedorf, and Rui Costa for AC Milan.
The checklist also includes Chrome Autos from top rookies and stars, along with returning legends. All autos are available in multiple rarity tiers, with format exclusives and short prints across product types.
Insert Sets Bring the Heat
Inserts receive a major overhaul this year, headlined by new themes and rare pull rates designed to build chase value and product depth.
Wonderkids features standout young players from UCC clubs and focuses on the next generation of European talent. The design is fresh and colorful, matching the energy of subjects like Yamal, Endrick, and Barcola. Auto Variations are also available.
Circle of Power introduces a three-stage insert experience. Power On shows early electric sparks and appears once per Hobby box on average. High Voltage increases in intensity and drops approximately one in every six boxes. Shockwave expands the charge to the full card design and is available roughly once every two cases.
HELIX makes its soccer debut as one of the rarest inserts in the product. Borrowed from Topps’ other portfolios, this ultra-scarce chase brings bold visuals and prestige appeal for collectors looking to land something off the radar.
Final Destination draws inspiration from the location of the 2025 UEFA Champions League Final. Player photography is paired with Munich-based landmarks and architecture, offering a unique setting-driven twist to the insert lineup.
TIFO presents players as stylized tifos, mimicking the look of choreographed stadium banners. It’s a case-hit insert in Hobby and one of the most visually distinct additions to the set.
Shadow Etch uses a black, heavily etched design combined with electric themes to emphasize player strength and visual impact. The contrast-heavy layout gives it a commanding presence within the insert lineup.
White Noise flips the focus to crowd energy, reframing athletes within the aesthetic of fan celebrations. Players are edited to appear as favorites, amplifying the stadium atmosphere within the card’s design.
Hidden Gems rounds out the checklist as a continuity insert featuring 25 of Europe’s top young players. This theme is built around long-term potential and links to broader Topps insert storytelling across sports.
Whether you’re chasing the first-ever Chrome Quad Autos, hunting down a Shockwave-level Circle of Power, or building out a Wonderkids PC, 2024-25 Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions delivers depth, design, and chase like never before. This is Chrome collecting at its most electric.
