UEFA Champions League & Europa League Match Attax 2021/22
Topps
500+ cards
I have been sent a scan of this Depay & Fati card by a collector who wishes to remain anonymous. All the cards I've seen so far depict Messi & Fati. I thought this one might come from the United States as their Match Attax foil cards sometimes look different from the ones produced in Europe. I checked resellers and auction sites but again all I could find are the Messi & Fati cards.
I wouldn't be surprised if Topps updated card number 427. Lionel Messi left FC Barcelona on 10 August, 2021 and Memphis Depay joined FC Barcelona on 19 June, 2021. Topps always produce their cards too early which means some players are shown with their former clubs, and that happened with the Messi & Fati card. It's strange that only now the Depay & Fati card has surfaced.
More information will be published here as and when new information becomes available.
UPDATE (25-02-2023 14:31): Thanks to a comment below the Depay/Fati card has been identified as coming from the Indian release, along with four other updated cards.
427. Lionel Messi & Ansu Fati (FC Barcelona)
427. Memphis Depay & Ansu Fati (FC Barcelona) - India Edition
It is, in fact, from the Indian collection. It was released just before the Extra collection was released in the UK, so it had some updated cards:
ReplyDelete43 - Anthony Martial to Cristiano Ronaldo
149 - Pablo Sarabia to Lionel Messi
225 - Lionel Messi (capt) to Memphis Depay
369 - Cristiano Ronaldo to Paulo Dybala
427 - Messi / Fati to Depay / Fati
The different foiling appears in all of the Master-Apprentice, Man of the Match and Next Gen cards. Even the 100 Clubs have a different foining (a simple holographic foil)
Thank you for your help. I'll see if I can find scans of all the updated cards.
