As you step up to this installation, you’re looking at one of the most iconic formats in the hobby — the Book of Autos. Here, collecting opens up in a literal sense, inviting you to experience autographs not just as signatures, but as stories preserved across pages.
Autographs at the Heart of the Hobby
The Piece of Club History Autograph Book, brought to life by The Goal Hanger, takes inspiration from one of Topps Chrome’s most revered card formats. In the hobby, book cards are exactly what they sound like — cards that unfold to reveal multiple autographs or relics, combining players, moments and history into a single collectible piece.
This installation transforms that concept into something grander. An ornate, oversized book sits at the centre, its pages filled with the autographs of legendary players from across European football. Each signature represents more than just a name — it’s a connection to a club, a season, a defining moment.
There’s also an interactive element at play. As you move through the pages, you’re encouraged to recognise the players behind the autographs, turning the experience into a test of knowledge and memory. It’s a reminder that collecting isn’t just about ownership — it’s about understanding the stories behind what you hold.
From Card to Cultural Artefact
The 2025/26 Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions collection continues this tradition, spotlighting some of Europe’s biggest clubs including Liverpool, AC Milan, Bayern München, FC Barcelona and Arsenal. These cards bring together multiple signatures in a single format, creating layered collectibles that capture the legacy of elite teams.
This installation shows how those cards can be reimagined beyond the pack — as pieces of art, history and storytelling combined.
