Confirmed. Topps put an actual champagne cork from the Milwaukee Brewers' World Series celebration inside a trading card. The card is a 1-of-1 Topps NOW, dated Oct. 28, with the Brewers' clinching dogpile on the front and a piece of the cork in a round window labeled "Champagne Cork · World Series Memorabilia."

"To our knowledge, this is the first time a cork has ever been placed inside an official trading card," Topps said on X on Thursday.

Why collectors should care: Memorabilia cards usually hold a piece of a jersey, bat or base. A one-of-one with a piece of the actual celebration is a new kind of chase, and it's tied to the first World Series title in Brewers history.
