The “next Messi,” aka 17-year-old wunderkind Lamine Yamal, got the Topps Now treatment this week with a card that features him alongside Travis Scott. Per usual, some lucky collectors have the potential to grab numbered parallels and one will end up with the 1/1 auto.

Or even cross-over cards, like Wemby juggling at Yankee stadium or Jayden Daniels, Juju Watkins and Angel Reese throwing out the first pitch.
