What Am I Chasing in 2023/24 Topps Merlin UEFA Club Competitions?

Shall we start with the rookies?

2023/24 Topps Merlin UEFA Club Competitions brings the heat with a loaded rookie class. It starts with one of the most-anticipated rookie card releases in years, as Barcelona’s prodigy Lamine Yamal enters the Merlin universe. His Renaissance rookie is epic. Emerging French star Bradley Barcola is also in this year’s set. The PSG stud has leveled up after Kylian Mbappe left for Real Madrid, with four goals in his first four league games this year. Deeper into the checklist, keep an eye on Ajax’s Jorrel Hato, who is seen as one of the best young talents in European soccer.

Go After 2023/24 Topps Merlin UEFA Club Competition Inserts

The rare Sorcerers insert is making its return—an impressive design with eye-catching color. Renaissance is once again a big case hit. The Stained Glass Window case hit features some of the most covetable players in the soccer hobby. Merlin’s Gamer Cards inserts are exclusive to value boxes.

Product Director Dillon Stambaugh adds, “This is the second year the Vintage Merlin Refractor will appear. As someone who constantly buys vintage stickers, I’ve always been enamored by the bespoke foil patterns from the 90s. We set out to create a custom Chrome pattern for Merlin that would immediately transport European collectors to the days when they were searching for ‘shiny’ out of packets.”

Hunt down the super short-printed Sword Cards, a debut die-cut insert card shaped like an Excalibur sword featuring five of the best players in this year’s UEFA Club Competitions.
