Topps UEFA Champions League Showcase 2016/2017


Topps UEFA Champions League Showcase is back for the 2016/2017 season highlighting some of the world's best players! Provisionally slated for release on 15 February 2017, the hobby box will consists of:

- 6 cards per pack
- 12 packs per box
- 8 boxes per case
- 2 autographs per hobby box

The base set follows the 2015 debut release featuring vivid images framed by a silver border. Several parallels add to the unique design with Gold, Red (#/25), Black (#/5), and Champions (1/1) editions.

Serving as the base autograph set, Champions League Autographs offer signatures from renowned Champions League players. The autograph set maintains the base design and works with the same parallels: Gold, Red (#/25), Black (#/5), and Champions (1/1).

Another signed option is Champions Pairings Autographs which include 2 players who share a common bond. Paying homage to both active and retired legends is Touch of Class Autographs. Base options for both of these signed inserts are serial numbered and include a Champions (1/1) parallel.

Unlike the 2015 release, 2016/17 Topps UEFA Champions League Showcase also includes memorabilia cards. Kits of Class features oversized uniform swatches from active players and provides 2 parallels — Black (#/5) and Champions (1/1) — that include a multi-color swatch piece. The other relic option is the Autograph Memorabilia cards that combine a swatch card with signatures.

Lastly, the basic inserts include Champions Pedigree, which highlight players who helped lead their team to a title. Making its debut is the Steadied Success insert that pays respect to those current players regularly vying for a UCL championship. Road to Victory inserts focus solely on the 2015/16 UEFA Champions League winners, Real Madrid. All inserts add Gold, Red (#/25), and Champions (1/1) parallels, as well as Autograph versions.
