Merlin turns 30! Topps celebrates sticker legacy with Chrome Edition | OneFootball

30 years of Merlin – that means 30 years of football passion, collecting fun, and true goosebump moments. To celebrate the anniversary, Topps looks back at the legendary Merlin sticker album from 1995 and brings its spirit back in a modern, high-quality Chrome edition centered around the UEFA Club Competitions.

The new Merlin Chrome Anniversary product combines nostalgic design with the look of today’s premium trading cards. Anyone who collected back then will instantly remember – and anyone collecting today will get a product that’s all about excitement, rarity, and big hits.

Rare, shiny, absolutely coveted

Leading the chase are two special card highlights that define this release. They are extremely limited, instantly recognizable, and bring true moments of joy when opened. Cards people talk about – and ones you’ll never want to let go of.

A major highlight of the collection is the numerous autographs – from current stars to true legends of European football. In addition, there are very special cards with original match ball pieces that were actually used in UEFA Club Competitions. Some even combine two signatures in a booklet card – true collector’s gold.

The biggest names in football

Whether it’s Lamine Yamal, Erling Haaland, or Vinícius Júnior – young superstars are represented just as much as icons of the game. Lionel Messi, Zinedine Zidane, and other legends ensure that this edition perfectly connects the past, present, and future of football.

The foundation of the collection is made up of 200 cards featuring the best players from the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League. This is complemented by numerous special card series, exclusive retail highlights, and long-term collecting campaigns that develop over multiple releases – ideal for anyone who wants to stay in the game for the long run.

Merlin Chrome is available now at specialist retailers and on topps.com. You can find more background and stories on Topps RIPPED – and for news, previews, and highlights, it’s worth following Topps FC on Instagram.
