Topps - 2014 Premier League Official Sticker Collection Pro 11 Competition (2)


2013-14

2014 Premier League Official Sticker Collection Pro 11 Competition
Topps
120 stickers

Please accept my apologies for a little self-indulgence. Cardiff City are relegated from the Premier League today, though it's been 'on the cards' for weeks. Totally unable to play as a team, with 5 or 6 player changes for almost every game since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over. Absolutely dismal - except for the dispalys of David Marshall, a true Bluebird legend. But I've added some lovely cards and stickers to my collection this season, from all over the world. I don't have any of the above cards though, if anyone has any for sale please get in touch.


39.  David Marshall (Cardiff City)

42.  Andrew Taylor (Cardiff City)
43.  Steven Caulker (Cardiff City)
45.  Gary Medel (Cardiff City)
50.  Fraizer Campbell (Cardiff City)
175.  Craig Bellamy (Cardiff City)

83 known (60 Footballers)

Superb Edwardian caricatures of footballers, cricketers and rugby players, drawn by L.C. Bennett and dated '09. Each also featuring a signature goblin figure, drawn in pen & ink, each is titled and some come with a verse added, e.g. Arthur Bridgett of Sunderland - 'He's speedy and sporty, He's dainty yet weighty, With courage for forty, And Conscience for eighty, And when England capped him, Hurrah! we all clapped him.' Some, if not all, were issued as postcards and again some, if not all, were also published in booklet form, as can be seen by the above illustration.

What I wouldn't give to include a complete illustrated checklist of this collection!

Panini America Offers Stunning First Pics of 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Brazil™ Autos


May 1, 2014

by Tracy Hackler

To suggest that the images you’re about to see represent one of the most anticipated viewings in FIFA World Cup™ collectibles history is by no means overstating things. Sitting here less than one week away from the U.S. release of Panini America’s 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ Prizm trading card set, the global anticipation for this bona fide blockbuster seems tangibly electric. And you’re about to get your first look at one of the chief reasons why: The set’s simply sublime autographed cards.
Yesterday, we brought you images of the 50 global soccer legends signing their autographs for the set. Today, we’re bringing you something equally as striking: The first images anywhere of the finished product.
From the beginning, Panini America officials set out to build one of the greatest autograph checklists in the history of soccer trading cards. Just last week, after spending more than a year planning and executing (and spending a small fortune on international shipping charges), the 50th and final signer, Roberto Carlos, finally returned his autographs.
In addition to ensuring that 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ Prizm would be 100 percent redemption free, Carlos’ special delivery made Panini America’s crazily ambitious objective a near-miraculous reality. The result? Nothing less than the greatest autograph checklist in the history of soccer cards.
From all-time legends such as Pelé, Franz Beckenbauer and Jürgen Klinsmann, to current superstars such as Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Clint Dempsey, Panini America succeeded in crafting an autograph set for the ages. One look at the gallery below and we think you’ll agree.
For your viewing pleasure, we’ve included images of every autograph card in the set (including base, Prizm and Black Prizm 1/1 versions of some cards) with the exception of Carlos’. (We’ll bring you a glimpse of his card as soon as we get it.)

Enjoy the gallery, and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage of Panini America’s 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ Prizm set.
