CARDBOARD REVIEW:2019-2020 Topps Match Attax UEFA

Do you wanna play a game?

Sorry, not channeling my inner Jigsaw.

I am asking you if you like to play Topps Match Attax UEFA Champions League style? Topps has recently released the latest edition that can help you play both the physical game and for you technology guys, online as well.

Let's check it out!

In each box of 2019-2020 Topps Match Attax there are 50 packs of 6 cards each. This is a display box. There are a few options to go with when it comes to these. Boxes are about $60.

Each pack also comes with a QR code to unlock a free digital pack which I won't use. I prefer physical items but it's a great option for those who like to do both.

BASE

The first thing I noticed about the card was the smell. They smell good like a clean fresh packed out card printed on a plastic coating that helps it from game wear.

 

There are 380 base cards to collect if you are going straight for the cards and not the game or maybe both.

CHASE CARDS
Most chase cards fall 1:2 or 1:3 packs. I almost found one per pack of some form. Some also look really good just to have as collectibles. 

Pro Performer

 Record Holders. Look at that shine!

 Same shine, but silver on the Man Of The Match

A glitter type shine on 100 Club

 MVP of Ronaldo is definitely a collectible in itself.

Well, that does it for the break. My overall thoughts is I like it. Now I just need to find a mat and figure out how to play as I haven't ever played. But, I do like card games like this as I have played some put out by Panini in the past. Hopefully this one is as easy as those ones are.

Leave me your thoughts on if you have ever played Topps Match Attax before and what you think about the cards. Are they just for play or are they a collectible as well?

Please make sure to take a minute out to thank Topps for providing this box for me to review and to add more cards to a future giveaway I will be hosting. Please follow me there to enter @SportCardCollec. Also follow Topps on all social media sites and visit their SITE, as well  

REVIEW:2017-2018 Topps Chrome UEFA

For the first time in Topps Chrome history, it is welcoming the soccer's biggest stage in UEFA. All of the big names are in here with your Ronaldo, Messi, and Jesus.

We all know how much I like chrome no matter the sport, so let's see my thoughts on this new edition.

In every box of 2017-2018 Topps Chrome UEFA is 18 packs of 4 cards each. There is 6 parallels per box along with 1 autograph. Boxes run just under $70.

There are 99 cards in the base set with all of the big names.

 

There are 5 base card variations to find as well. Those are tough to find falling 1:246. I didn't find one however.

As with anything chrome, we have some refractor love. What I like about these, there is no questioning which one is which. It's pretty obvious as you will see in a few.

The base chrome refractors look terrific. These fall 1:3 packs.

Blue refractors fall 1:25 packs. They are numbered to 150.

Purple refractors fall 1:15 packs and are numbered to 250

Orange fall 1:148 and are numbered to 25.

I love how bold these stand out. I hope the baseball parallels in chrome are just as sharp.

Other parallels in the product include, 

• Green /99
• Gold /50
• Red /10
• SuperFractor 1/1

The inserts and themes in UEFA are the same ones you will find in baseball and still look just as terrific.  Most inserts have a gold /50 parallel.

Future Stars was one of my favorites from the MLB version and looks just as good here. They fall 1:6 packs and include all of the future stars of the sport.

Lightning Strike insert that falls 1:5 packs.

Award Winners fall 1:108 packs. I seemed to have lucked out landing one of the best. I like tough to find inserts.

Now onto my autograph find.

OVERALL: It's a chrome product and it's fun. Chrome is the product I feel gives you the most value back from a break for any sport. It was always my first choice in retail when they offered football and has been a top choice for me for years. So if you collect UEFA cards, this is a nice way to go and it's decently priced right now.
