This Topps limited-edition Raquinho trading card is rad

A star is born: Topps introduced a limited-edition Raquinho collectible trading card, and we're here for it.

The Raquinho card costs $8.99, and will be available until Sunday, May 19. Standard shipping is $3.00, which brings the total to a cool $11.99 before tax. That's less than what a Coney Island Mermaid Pilsner will run you at Citi Field.

You can order the card here.

In case you spent the last two days in a sensory deprivation tank and only just picked up your phone, Raquinho is the raccoon that ran on the field in the 20th minute of the Philadelphia Union vs New York City FC game, and evaded capture for close to three riveting minutes.

Topps doesn't give the raccoon an affiliation, but the creature is clearly with New York City. As Oliver Strand wrote in these pages, "He's small, fast, and technical, and it took four Philadelphia staff almost three minutes to contain him." Sounds like other members of the NYCFC attack.

Hudson River Blue readers gave Raquinho a 9.4 rating, which was the top score of the night. The heatmap generated by Major League Soccer goes some way to explain the impact he had on Wednesday night's game.
