Topps Merlin base cards are traditionally simplistic, and the new edition does not deviate from that approach. At 200 cards, collectors will find a solid mix of veterans, retired stars, and prospects from throughout the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and UEFA Conference League.

All of those cards will be covered by a plentiful parallel rainbow.

Match Ball Signatures make their return, giving collectors a slice of a match-used soccer ball and a player’s signature.

Signatures continue in Ageless Alchemy, Marks of Excellence, and European Knights, which can only be found in breaker boxes.

Inspired by stained glass, Renaissance inserts are back.

Other returning inserts include Ageless Alchemy, Mystic Nights, and Gamers, which are designed like a trading card game card.

A new insert sure to be popular is Elite Society, an elegantly designed offering of top European standouts.
