Over the moon excited about this one.

@SaraSBaumann created what may be the finest "sketch cover" out there.

I handed her a blank cover VeeFriends comic #3, and discussed the comic with her. She delivered a stunning night-and-day back and front cover masterpiece.

She used paint and colored pencils (grading this will be fun) to capture the magic of the adventure into VeeWorld, highlighting Decisive Duck and Fearless Fairy who guide Anna out of a dark place and into an exploration of what's possible.

This commission is my first Sparky original physical art piece. I cannot wait to encapsulate and frame it - and find a way to display it so I can see the front and back.

Sparky, I'm so thankful for you, and for your willingness to share your talent with me. It's a gorgeous little piece with such thoughtful touches, and it will be part of our family for a long, long time.

The unconfirmed @veefriends @topps Chrome ERUPT print runs for 2025 and 2026

These cards are insanely short printed, there is a reason they are selling for so much

If you have a 2025 Empathy Elephant ERUPT, hang on to that grail for dear life

So you are saying you bought the entire stock of Chrome from a store?

[ClemHouseArt @ClemHouseArt]

So honored to have 30 sketch cards in this years 2026 Topps Chrome VeeFriends! If you see any please tag me! 1/6

[Ric Johnson @jsON]

I laughed out loud when I heard @garyvee tell people to NOT visit your streams.

I think he was trying to say that we should be ambassadors and help new people on smaller streams learn about @veefriends

We ALL love your streams - I won a $10,000 card

[To The Moon Cards & Collectibles @ToTheMoon_Cards]

Well….thanks G…at least we were mentioned…..I guess 🤷‍♂️🫠

[Ric Johnson @jsON]

Beautiful black cat

A lot of people have worked very hard to bring Chrome 2026.

It is a beautiful product.
Gary does not control the distribution- Topps does.

Try to say something nice

[Polish_Buddy(TUFTstacheio Arc) @Polish_Buddy]

Rip to the Knicks

Hey @garyvee why do I see so many people ripping your Flopps Chrome pre release??

Just another @veefriends mistake that would not happen under my command

So much for a hyped launch day 😅

[Ric Johnson @jsON]

Is that the one that has the $100k bounty? I do not see a number on the card

[Gary Vaynerchuk @garyvee]

Wow just Wowow - the big one has landed before day 1

[Corso @Corso52]

[Ric Johnson @jsON]

Wowow

I am trying to build almost exactly the same.

All 10s except the green eyes

Should I crack them and get them signed? Or ask Gary to sign the slabs?

[Josh Courage @JCourageFIT]

@jsON I’ll get a better pic for you. But it’s a full psa 10 set of all cat eye color variants. Plus psa 10s yellow refractor, manga and sapphire.

The other cat one has a CGC 10 core TCG, a CGC 10 very rare and a CGC 9 epic along with a few others

I have a y2k at CGC now….

[Ric Johnson @jsON]

Can I get a close up of the top right display? (Black cats)

[Josh Courage @JCourageFIT]

The new office is coming along. Ready for some @VeeFriendsCards Topps Chrome to land!

What’s the going guess when @thecourageshow boxes land? This week or… late next week…? 😂

Please bookmark my shows and come hang when I go live!

Oh boy 😳

My first chrome of the season 💜

[MikeJY @MikeJY1984]

Twas the night before Chromesmas,
And all through the house
Not a VeeFriend was stirring
Not even Mojo Mouse

The top loaders were stacked on the table with care,
With hopes that ole Gary soon would be there

The breakers were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Erupts danced in their heads
With Jeremy in his bowler hat, and Corso in his stache
We all settle in for 200 spots to pass

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my Anthros chair to see what’s the matter
But what to my wondering eyes should appear
But my boxes of Chrome, and a pissed off UPS driver

With a Knicks jersey and a big stack of receipts,
I knew that it had to be ole @garyvee
As I opened the packs the cards flashed oh so bright,
I knew that I’d speak of their names day and night

Now Empy, and Robot, and Wizard and Fairy
On Lucky Black Cat and a Skelly so Scary
With my boxes stacked up to the top of my wall,
I knew that I just had to open them all

….

As he sprang to his truck, after watching me open everything in sight
He said Merry Chromesmas to all, and to all a goodnight

💚🐈‍⬛
