The race for the 2025/26 Premier League Golden Boot is on — and with it comes an exciting opportunity for collectors.
With the Topps Golden Boot Buyback Program, Topps and participating Hobby Shops will buy back eligible 2026 Topps Chrome Premier League cards featuring the season’s leading goal scorer — giving you store credit in exchange.
Here’s everything you need to know:
What Is The Golden Boot Buyback Program?
Topps and participating Hobby Shops are offering collectors the chance to redeem eligible 2026 Topps Chrome Premier League cards of the 2025/26 Golden Boot winner for store credit.
Once the Premier League season concludes and the leading goal scorer is officially determined, select cards from 2026 Topps Chrome Premier League will become eligible for buyback.
How It Works
1. Buy Topps Chrome PL
Pick up boxes of 2026 Topps Chrome Premier League and start collecting.
2. Collect Potential Golden Boot Winners
Collect the base cards and base parallels of the players you think could win the 2025/26 Golden Boot award.
3. Head To Your Local Hobby Shop
Once the Golden Boot winner is officially confirmed at the end of the season, bring your eligible cards to a participating Hobby Shop.
You can also mail your cards to one of Topps’ authorised mail-in partners.

How Much Store Credit Will You Receive?

- Cards numbered /100 or less (such as /99, /75, /50, /25, /12, /10, /8, /5, /2 or /1) will receive £150 in store credit
All values are determined by the official buyback pricing table.
When Does The Program Run?

It will run for approximately three months.
Participating shops should not accept buybacks prior to the official program start date. Exact dates will be confirmed once the Golden Boot winner is determined.
Do Cards Need To Be in Mint Condition?
Cards do not need to be in mint condition.
However:
- Cards must be in one piece
- Ripped or altered cards will not be accepted
Is There A Redemption Limit?
