Topps Chrome Labubu 10th Anniversary Card Lists on Fanatics Collect Auction

Fanatics Collect's 219th Weekly Sunday Auction carried a graded copy of the 2025 Topps Chrome Labubu 10th Anniversary "Monsters by Monsters #4," the card honoring the character that went from a $20 blind box to a $170,000 auction result in less than a year.

Fanatics Collectibles launched the first trading card collaboration between its Topps Chrome brand and the Labubu franchise to celebrate the 10th anniversary of "The Monsters" series, which included Labubu's first appearance, with artwork throughout the set by creator Kasing Lung. Card #4 in that base set, "Monsters by Monsters," is the specific subject of the Fanatics Collect lot.

Labubu first appeared in The Monsters book series in 2015 but gained viral collector interest through a partnership with Chinese retailer Pop Mart. Typically sold for $20 to $30 in a "blind box" format, interest surged through 2025, causing extreme price fluctuations on the secondary market, capped by a 4-foot-tall Labubu selling for $170,000 in June during an auction dedicated to the toy franchise. That secondary market energy is exactly what collectors are watching as individual graded Chrome cards enter the auction circuit.

Boxes of the set feature one pack with five cards, including four Chrome base cards and one Chrome parallel. Parallels include Speckle Refractors, 10th anniversary logofractors, artist facsimiles, and sequentially colored parallels. Autographs are limited to just 22 copies per subject. Those Kasing Lung-signed cards come in at odds of 1:1,368 packs, making them among the scarcest pulls in the modern non-sport Chrome hobby.

Artwork from the cards also mirrors special installations appearing across the globe in support of The Monsters 10th Anniversary Celebration World Tour, tying the physical card product to a real-world cultural moment rather than treating it as a standalone collectible.

The Fanatics Collect listing context shows how quickly this set has moved through the secondary market. The Labubu set is the latest collaboration between Fanatics and a pop-culture brand; Topps released a 25th anniversary set for SpongeBob SquarePants on Oct. 1, and prices for sealed hobby boxes immediately surged from a retail price of $259.99 to a peak of $550, according to data tool Waxstat. Fanatics also released a Topps Chrome Disney set in September, which saw multiple cards fetch $10,000 or more on the secondary market. The pattern of rapid price movement on Topps Chrome pop-culture releases gives the Labubu auction circuit real momentum.

Topps.com presales for the Labubu set opened on October 20, 2025, with boxes selling for $50. The set was produced through a collaboration between Topps, How2Work, and Pop Mart. Individual graded singles like the "Monsters by Monsters #4" CGC 9 now appearing in weekly auction windows represent the next phase of price discovery for a set that launched with one of the most unusual crossover audiences in the modern hobby: blind-box collectors and Chrome chasers arriving at the same card.
