2024-25 Topps UCC - Merlin (Value Box)

The edition follows the 2024-25 season, which means the squads reflect the teams that actually played in Europe that year, from the big clubs in the Champions League to lesser-known names further down in the Conference League. Merlin has a loyal following among collectors who grew up with the football albums of the 1990s, and the series sticks to the club team format rather than national teams.

Merlin is Topps' retro line within UEFA Club Competitions, where the design draws clear inspiration from the classic Merlin collections of the 1990s. Since the licence covers the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League, players from several European leagues fit in the same set, which makes the checklist broad with both established profiles and younger names. The box is delivered sealed and the cards are in English.

A sealed value box with several packs at a better per-pack price than loose packs. It is the entry format that gives the most cards for the money.
