Topps Match Attax UEFA Champions League 2022/23

Do you think possible to swap crystal cards for limited edition cards? If so, 1:1, 2:1 or ? I have many crystal and I need many LEs...

How many pages does your binder count, LFC1892? I also have the German binder and with the 'basic set' only 2 pages are empty, which means room for 2x18 - 36 extra cards. There number of update cards is higher. As I also have the 1st edition cards and they are in my 2nd binder with the crystals (lots of empty spaces though) and if I get my hands on it also the update cards.

Hi Manfred, long time no see. Hope all is well.
My binder is 64 pages. I managed to fit all base, 2 update sets, LE cards and parallels and have about 2 pages left.
I would have more pages if I do all the cards back to back but I did not. 1st Ed cards I have not included as they are not complete, yet. Crystals I have back to back for 9 card teams only.

It is a big annoyance that the manufacturers (Panini does exactly the same thing with the Premier League) have been putting binders half the size in the starter packs for mainland Europe for several years.

As a result, exactly what was described happens: as soon as an update set comes, the cards no longer fit in the binder. I don't know which extremely clever business person came up with this approach, which saves the manufacturers a few cents but ultimately is an absolute cheek to non-British collectors who have to get another binder as a result. And who likes having to spread their collection over two binders? Exactly: nobody!

That explains why I need 2 starters

I will buy a Panini adrenalyn Calciatori binder to store all the cards ... but it is ridiculous to say the least...

Not the smartest business decision for sure. I didn't even know other than the UK all other binders are half the size.
Obviously, does not help at all in terms of fitting all cards in 1 binder. Panini does the bigger binders for the PL, La Liga & Serie A.
My advice to you lads is maybe instead of getting another binder is get the Ultra Pro Platinum sheets to finish off the collection. I usually do that with LE cards for Panini when I run out of pages. You can tuck them inside the binder at the end.

Outside the UK it's the same with the Panini Premier League binders.
Only in the first season Panini had the big binders in the rest of Europe. After that only half the size.

Due to Panini's geo-restrictions, it is unfortunately not as easy to order everything from everywhere in Europe. Fortunately, Topps offers more options, but Brexit and import duties have made everything much more expensive than it used to be.

With the Panini collections, due to the mass of Limited Edition Cards, it is almost impossible to do otherwise than to store them in an extra folder or extra pages, as you described (In the meantime I see the Panini Limited Editions as an extra collection, due to the quantity and therefore I have no problem with putting them in an extra binder)

The situation is different with the current collection from Topps, where someone simply didn't think along, since it was pretty clear in advance how many cards were still to appear and that, if you take this into account, it is impossible to fit everything (what is part of the collection) in a small binder.

The Italia update packs that I assume will appear on sale in Topps Italia soon.

Today I have received my order, and my surprise inside the pack one was this. And now what?
I have mailed explaining the wrong pack of cards they sent me

From my third ever pack of Match Attax packs this season!

Sorry for the blurry images, my camera isn't the greatest but it is 34/50.
