Football cards and stickers issued around the world, from the 1880's to the present day and even some that haven't been issued yet. I don't have any cards for sale, nor do I provide valuations, this blog is just a means of passing on information I have gathered over many decades of collecting. Alan Jenkins.
Yeah heartbreaking for City and / or Sterling fans that just want to add a nice card to their collection. They will now be priced out of these cards by people who have just bought these to make a profit on EBay. Same thing happened with the Rashford card. As a Manchester United collector I would love one but can't afford any of the dozens that have appeared from between £50-£120 on EBay. Not a bad return on a £10 investment.
They are trying to turn Match Attax into something it's not. I'm not familiar with the game but surely there aren't enough scores on the Fire cards to be able to use them in Match Attax. Why do they limit them to 100, 250 or 500 copies and then sell them with a mutlipack of 75 ordinary cards when most kinds probably have a complete set by now making them superfluous. I should think most people who have bought the bundle have no interest in the ordinary Match Attax cards.
Hi Alan, I agree.I also suspect Topps caught on to the re sale value of these limited cards added to the bundles pretty quickly. It gets rid of old stock nobody wants anymore,like you say,and guarantees a quick income into the bargain.Puzzled also by the differing quantities of the limiteds as you say.
