One of the most visually exciting surprises in 2024 Topps VeeFriends is tucked away behind the shine — an insert set that blends past and present in the most unexpected way. The VeeFriends Y2K subset channels the unmistakable feel of early 2000s animated chrome cards and filters it through the world of Gary Vee’s VeeFriends.

It’s bold. It’s stylized. And it’s already generating buzz among collectors who recognize the subtle homage.

What’s cool about 2025 Topps Chrome® VeeFriends Y2K

The VeeFriends Y2K insert taps directly into the heart of hobby nostalgia. Without explicitly saying it, the set draws clear inspiration from the beloved Topps Chrome animation releases of the early 2000s — sets that defined a generation of collectors with their vibrant characters and high-gloss finishes.

The VeeFriends Y2K cards carry that same spirit, reimagining Gary Vee’s characters in a way that makes them feel like they were always meant to exist in this style.

What’s the design inspiration for 2025 Topps Chrome® VeeFriends Y2K?

Visually, the Y2K cards lean hard into early Chrome animation aesthetics. The characters are illustrated with sharp outlines, a rich animated look, and just the right amount of gloss to make them pop in hand. There’s a clear stylistic nod to collectible card games and cartoon-based sets of the late ’90s and early 2000s, but with a VeeFriends twist that keeps things fresh.

What am I chasing in 2025 Topps Chrome® VeeFriends Y2K?

Each character brings its own energy, and the joy of the subset lies in hunting for your personal favorite rendered in this nostalgic chrome style. Whether you gravitate toward Notorious Ninja, Patient Panda, or Empathy Elephant, the chase becomes personal rather than purely competitive.

Why should collectors be excited about 2025 Topps Chrome® VeeFriends Y2K?

The VeeFriends Y2K subset delivers something The Hobby doesn’t see often: a true homage to the chrome animation era that helped define modern collecting. It brings back the feel of early chrome inserts with a fresh layer of meaning and character-driven storytelling. And while it may look playful, it’s still a serious chase. These inserts are rare case-level pulls, making each one feel earned.
