Topps began producing UEFA Champions League cards in 2015 but did not introduce a Chrome version of the set to the pinnacle of club competition until two years later.
Topps Chrome UCL stormed into the hobby in 2017-18, bringing a rainbow of Refractors with it. Only Red Refractors (/5) and Superfractors (1/1) are more rare that this /25 Orange Refractor.
At the time of the card's release, Lionel Messi had established himself as one of the best and most popular players on the planet. That regard has only risen since then and his legacy puts him in the top tier of the sport's all-time greats.
Stamped 06/25, this Orange Refractor is a Gem Mint PSA 10. It's a pop 6 in the company's registry.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 11/28/2025.
