A Chrome set for Europe's club nights
Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions is the chromium version of Topps's licensed set for Europe's three club tournaments: the Champions League, the Europa League and the Europa Conference League. The 2023-24 edition opened with a 200-card base checklist of veterans, rookies and 'Future Stars,' and the Topps website began taking presale orders on May 28, 2024. A set checklist guide lists the release date as July 24, 2024.
Hobby boxes held 20 packs of four cards and promised one autograph and 12 parallels, six of them Refractors and two Pulsar Refractors. Presale pricing was $189.99 for a Hobby box and $449.99 for a Jumbo box with three autographs; on release day those rose to $199.99 and $479.99. The set's loudest chase was a triple autograph of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Robert Lewandowski, limited to 10 copies.
Card #64 is Lamine Yamal's base rookie. Beyond it, Yamal appears in the set on a Hero Variation that shares the #64 number, on the Wonderkids, Hobby Masters and Youthquake inserts, and on Chrome Autographs, Chrome Dual Autographs and the Jumbo-only Black Lazer Autographs. He was also one of the players picked for Hidden Gems, an unannounced short print.
The base card comes in roughly 30 parallels. The numbered ones run from a Neon Green Wave Refractor numbered to 399 down through Gold (50), Orange (25), Black (10) and Red (5) Refractors to a single Superfractor.
The boy from Rocafonda
Lamine Yamal Nasraoui Ebana was born on July 13, 2007, in Esplugues de Llobregat, outside Barcelona. His father, Mounir Nasraoui, is from Morocco; his mother, Sheila Ebana, is from Equatorial Guinea. His paternal grandmother, Fatima, helped raise him in Rocafonda, a neighborhood of Mataró, and his goal celebration, a hand sign for 304, nods to the last three digits of its postal code. He started playing at four at a local club, La Torreta, and Barcelona signed him to its La Masia academy in 2014, when he was six.
He debuted for Barcelona's first team on April 29, 2023, coming on for Gavi in the 83rd minute of a 4-0 win over Real Betis. At 15 years, 9 months and 16 days he was the youngest player to appear for the club since 1922. On August 20, 2023, he became Barcelona's youngest starter ever, against Cádiz, and on September 19 he made his Champions League debut against Royal Antwerp, the second-youngest player in the competition's history. The following month, in a 2-2 draw with Granada, he scored his first senior goal for the club.
On paper he spent the 2023-24 season registered with Barcelona's reserve team. On the field he played 50 times for the first team in all competitions, scoring 7 goals with 7 assists, including 37 La Liga appearances with 5 goals and 5 assists. He scored in the Supercopa de España semifinal in January 2024 and in a Copa del Rey quarterfinal, setting age records in both. In December 2023 he received the first Golden Boy 'The Youngest' trophy.
From rookie card to champion in one summer
The timing of this card is the story. It depicts a player from the 2023-24 season, but the set reached collectors in July 2024, right after Yamal's summer at Euro 2024 in Germany. On June 15 he became the youngest player ever to appear at a European Championship, at 16 years and 338 days. On July 9, four days before his 17th birthday, he curled in a shot from outside the box against France in the semifinal, becoming the youngest scorer in the tournament's history, and his strike was named goal of the tournament. In the final against England he set up Nico Williams's opening goal in a 2-1 win, finishing with four assists, and was named Young Player of the Tournament.
The next two seasons pushed him higher. He won the Kopa Trophy for the best young player in the world in 2024 and again in 2025, the first player to win it twice; helped Barcelona win La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Supercopa in 2024-25; and finished second in the 2025 Ballon d'Or voting behind Ousmane Dembélé on September 22, 2025. In May 2025 he agreed to a contract through June 2031, and at the signing on July 16, 2025, he was handed Barcelona's number 10 shirt.
In 2026 he won the World Cup with Spain, beating Argentina 1-0 in the final, which made him, at 19 years and six days, the youngest player to win both the World Cup and the European Championship. On August 31, 2026, he became the youngest player in Europe's top five leagues to reach 50 goals, breaking a record held by Kylian Mbappé.
The market around #64
The unnumbered base #64 is the entry point to Yamal's rookie market rather than its top. The headline sales are one-of-ones from other products: a 2024 Topps Chrome UEFA Euro Superfractor autograph sold for $396,500 at auction in 2025; a 2023 Topps Stadium Club Chrome UEFA Club Competitions Superfractor brought $177,600 at auction in May 2026; and in July 2026, after the World Cup, a one-of-one black Kaboom rookie from a 2023-24 Donruss FIFA set sold at auction for $707,600, more than lots of Pelé and Messi material in the same sale.
For the PSA 10 base card itself, public sales trackers show a liquid, fast-moving market rather than a handful of landmark sales. One tracker recorded its most recent PSA 10 sale at $475 on October 2, 2026, after a 30-day decline of about 16 percent; a July 2026 market review put the PSA 10 base at $590 and the PSA 10 Refractor at $1,845. Neither source says whether those were auctions or fixed-price sales, so they are not charted here.
Identifying the right card
Check three things. First, the number: #64 is Yamal's base card, but the Hero Variation shares the number, so confirm the variation wording on the PSA label. Second, the finish: the plain base card has no rainbow sheen, while the Refractor and the color parallels do, and the numbered parallels carry a serial number. Third, the product: the label should read Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions, the chromium edition of the set.
This entry is the PSA 10 grade of the base card. The Gem Mint grade carries a large premium over raw copies: on October 2, 2026, one public sales tracker logged a raw copy at $37.38 against $475 for a PSA 10.

Price record
A realized private sale is a completed transaction outside an auction room. The amount is what changed hands on the date shown. Private sales are reported less consistently than auction results, so a single comparable carries less weight than a run of them.
By reference price, 2023-24 Topps Chrome UEFA Lamine Yamal #64 RC is number 98 of 100 in the trading cards entries of the FLOAT 100. 97 of those 100 rest on a realized sale; the rest carry an asking price or a guide value, and each page says which. Rank within the FLOAT 100 itself (97 here) is editorial: how much an object defines its field, not price alone.
