2016/17 Topps UEFA Champions League Showcase Soccer

[Bahnsen]

The 2016/17 edition af Topps UEFA CL Showcase is released today.

The checklist: https://www.topps.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2016-17-UCL-Showcase-CL.pdf

Price is around $75 on a hobby box. This includes 2 mini boxes of 6 packs (6 cards in each) and 2 autos.

The autos this year is low on players from the best teams, but main focus seems to be on teams like Dortmund, Leverkusen, Tottenham, Brugge etc.

Got 2 mini boxes today. Nothing special in my opinion.

Saw an opened box at a local hobby shop, the owner had opened 1 pack to view and to be honest the cards are average.

I will not be spending a penny on this lot. Not until Topps makes a collection worth having.

I think the set is pretty nice. I like the quality of the cards (fells thicker than the usual Panini/Topps) and I like the design.

But the problem is, that the cards are a too expensive. A hobby box is approx. $75 at the moment, which is too much. For that you get 2 autos (72 cards in total), but the autos are not very good this year. On the up-side, the patch cards are very nice. Probably the best I have seen in a soccer product. Unfortunately the patch cards are one per case, making them a very tough pull.

I opened a blaster box today (includes orange parallels) and I got some nice inserts. I got a Steadied Success Cristiano Ronaldo and a Champions parrallel 1/1 Pepe Reina. They're listed on ebay, but I'm open to trading for Bayern, US soccer players, and Chicago Fire cards. Unfortunately I didn't get any Copenhagen orange parallels.

Thanks for the info regarding Copenhagen cards. I am still interested if anyone pulls a Copenhagen /5 or 1/1 or orange.

I have opened 7 of these blaster boxes by now. I have not pulled a 1/1 like you, but 3 autos and a couple of red /25.

What is your ebay name, if I want to check out the cards?

I sold the 1/1 already but the Ronaldo Steadied Success is still listed. My Ebay name is Henrymehring. I have a few other parallels and inserts not listed on ebay if you're interested.

Does anyone on here have an extra Pulisic I could trade for or buy? All of them for sale in USA are really expensive. I'm not trying to get one to resell, I just need it for my collection of UCL cards of Americans
