Oh look, Topps has decided to capitalize on internet clout in the most charmingly obvious way possible—by launching a limited-run card drop for the Sidemen Charity Match 2025. Because nothing says “philanthropy” quite like selling cardboard rectangles with influencer faces on them. But hey, at least a portion of the profits is going to Brightside and M7 Education, so you can feel good about your purchase while fueling a cardboard-based dopamine addiction.

In a stroke of marketing genius (or desperation), they’ve managed to snag the first official trading card of MrBeast. Yes, the MrBeast—the YouTube messiah who can sneeze out 10 million views while handing a gold-plated Lambo to a guy who blinked twice. This card drop is clearly designed to make collectors foam at the mouth while pretending they're doing it for the greater good.

Let’s talk about what you’re actually getting. Every order placed before April 4th, 2025, includes a base card. Yawn. But don't worry, the real bait is the elusive “chase” cards. You know, the ones you have a better chance of finding in a parallel universe. These include the usual suspects: 1-of-1 autograph redemptions, foil parallels, and a whole rainbow of increasingly shiny nonsense:

• Gold Foil /50

• Orange Foil /25

• Black Foil /10

• Red Foil /5

• FoilFractor /1 (because sure, why not invent a new word)

And for those who like their collectibles with an extra layer of artificial scarcity, there's now Chrome and Opal Chrome chase cards—because clearly we needed more variations of the same thing:

• 50k+ print run: Chrome /99 and down

• 100k+: Chrome /25 to SuperFractor 1/1

• 250k+: Opal Chrome because sparkle = value

• 500k+: White OpalFractor 1/1, because of course we need a final boss tier

Naturally, there’s also a disclaimer disguised as excitement: these unlock only if the print run gets bloated enough. So basically, buy more or risk missing out on the chance to maybe get something shiny. It’s like Pokémon cards, but with extra steps and influencer branding.

Oh, and for the record, pulling a 1/1 MrBeast or KSI card isn’t just cool—it’s “extra drip.” That sentence alone should be grounds for a timeout from the internet, but fine, let’s roll with it. Imagine the prestige of owning a card featuring a guy who screams at the camera for a living. Truly, a relic of our time.

As always, this Topps NOW drop will disappear faster than your hopes of pulling anything valuable. Sales end April 4th, and once the print run is locked in, you’ll know whether you just bought a future treasure... or yet another base card to toss into a shoebox.

And yes, the Sidemen are still doing their little football match thing. Since 2016, they’ve been herding content creators into a stadium to play soccer and raise cash for UK charities. Millions raised, influencers running around in shorts, and now—shiny cards for the masses.

Whether you’re here to worship the altar of MrBeast or just trying to flip foil scraps for profit, this one’s for you. Get in line, collector.
