Match Attax 101 2019/20

New Topps collection. Looks like it has some sticker version too.

Don't understand why this has again CL and EL branding, because it surely looks like just some "Best Of" that could have been included in the Extra set.

Probably sold again only in UK, I guess online exclusive too.

Another mishap from Topps in terms of final card product.

Player pictures is even smaller now with bigger font for attributes and stupid useless numbers on the left hand side of the card. When will they learn? Nice designs ruined by the before mentioned points.

Sticker album looks nice with plenty of info on the players and good value to be included with the starter pack.

Hi guys,
I seem to notice that the cards from W31 to W62 are rarer than the other cards of the sets (apart from some Limited Eidtion), looking on Last Sticker.
Have you noticed the same? Any clue on why that is?

They are shiny. 101 packs have one shiny per pack (11 cards), but it's not enough.

A 24-pack box brings around one and half set from normal cards, but shinies are just 23 out of 32.

A good option would be buying a bigger UK box of 50 packets. I have only found about 4-5 harder to pull cards from 31-62.

In the 50 packets box the ratio is one shiny per packet?

I think they are 1:2 packets but in one box I think my numbers were 29 or 30 shiny ones.
Another option you can do is buy mini tins and multi packs because most of the time they will have different cards/inserts.

I don't get Topps, I really don't... why not just one type of pack for all countries? They have different ratios and prices depending on the version.

UK 7-card packet: £1, with 1:2 shiny per packet;
INT 11-card packet: 2€, with 1:1 shiny per packet;
UK 15-card packet: £2, with 1:1 shiny per packet;

So the international packets are more expensive, but they also have a better ratio for shinies.

The £2 UK packs are useless. Only advantage is you get 2 sticker cards, that's it.

But International packs also bring 2 sticker cards per pack... It seems to me UK packs abuse a lot of base cards.
