  1. Lucas Paquetá (Austria) - not Lucas Paquetá:

    Posture of player looks like Marko Arnautović

  3. Hi Alan, I just returned from a holiday in Spain and it looks like this collection is issued again in 2026. The packages say "2026 World Football Stars" but the cards inside are the same, including the error cards of Hallander and the Austrian Paqueta/Arnautovic card.

    I've found another error btw: Jorge Sánchez is Edson Alvarez. I know this for sure because they both played for my favourite club Ajax.

    1. Hi Martin,
      I hope you enjoyed your holiday. There seem to be more and more versions of these cards coming out. Is yours similar to this one:

      Thanks for letting me know about Jorge Sánchez and Edson Alvarez, I will update the list.
      Cheers,
      Alan
