A Few New Developments In The World Of Soccer Cards

Firstly from Oz we have the first trading cards featuring the A-League since 2009-10, I believe. Also of note, several socceroos likely to compete in Brazil are featured in the product. This collection comes to us from Sports Entertainment Products of Australia.


In America, it has been revealed that Topps' 2014 MLS set will feature Mexican national team players, including Man Utd striker Javier "Chicharito" Hernández and La Liga star Gio dos Santos, among others. The inaugural 2013 Topps MLS product was a complete flop as far as secondary market value goes so hopefully Topps have the sense to include Chicharito auto's since his Futera sigs (some of which look to be typical Futera fake garbage) sell quite well. I would think collectors would pay more for a Chicharto auto from a relatively reputable card-maker in Topps, although with soccer collectors you just never know.



There are also updates to Topps' Premier Gold and Bundesliga Chrome sets. The checklists have been revealed and are both listed below:

2013-14 Topps Bundesliga Chrome

Just as I'm starting to lose interest in soccer cards mainly due to lack of creativity from card makers with shitty card games seemingly flooding the market, Topps and Panini are beginning to release attractive, higher end collections aimed at adult collectors rather than kids. This time it's the Bundesliga's turn to get the premium trading card treatment. Here's a translation of the sell sheet and the info revealed so far.

Date of Sale: 18 December (Same release date as Topps Premier Gold)
6 Cards per Pack
36 Packs per Bo,
8 Boxes per Case

Starter 19,99€ / Booster 3,99€


Translation: "Bundesliga Chrome is the brand new premium trading card series
collection of the Bundesliga – Something like this has never been seen before.
In this high-end collection there are over 250 cards of all 18 Bundesliga
clubs – including limited and very high valued signed sards and memorabilia
cards of each club.

With original game worn jerseys or goalie gloves

This brings the reality to the collector
