WHAT ARE WE CHASING:

For the sixth consecutive year, Topps is releasing the highly popular Inception cards dedicated to the European club competitions UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Conference League and UEFA Women’s Champions League.

With the release date of the 2025-26 TOPPS Inception UEFA Club Competitions Soccer Cards, Topps is still around 3 months behind the end of the 2025/26 season, but has moved forward by a good 5 months compared with the previous year, after collectors had to wait until late December for the Inception cards last year.

The BASE SET of the collection contains 100 cards, an increase of 4 cards compared with the previous year’s release. The 100 cards are divided across 7 subsets. FIRST XI, EMERGING STARS, SUCCESSION and STAR QUALITY are already familiar to Inception collectors from releases in previous seasons. The subset dedicated to players from the UEFA Women’s Champions League has been slightly modified in name and is now called SUPERIOR LEGENDS. New categories this year are SHOWMAN and WORLDWIDE.

Collectors can look forward to 10 numbered parallel variations, one more than in the previous year. A new variation numbered to /125 has been added. The highest numbering of the parallel cards in the collection remains /199.

The parallel variations for each card are complemented by four Printing Plates in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black that were used to print the cards.

For the first time, Topps is also including insert cards in an Inception Soccer collection and has created the elegant DARK FLOW inserts for this purpose. As a case hit, these can only be found on average in every 8th box of the collection.

Alongside autograph versions in the respective designs of the Base Card subsets, Topps is relying on proven concepts from previous years and bringing collectors a mixture of different formats. A new category this year is DAWN OF GREATNESS AUTOGRAPHS, featuring stars and legends in the shirts of the clubs where they made their breakthrough on the European stage.

On the DUAL AUTOGRAPH cards, collectors can look forward to signatures from two stars of one team, while the SILVER SIGNINGS AUTOGRAPHS and the collection-spanning MARKS OF EXCELLENCE AUTOGRAPHS once again bring numerous on-card autograph cards to the collection.

Things become even more premium with the book cards, as the ROLE MODELS QUAD AUTOGRAPH BOOKS, UCL WINNERS QUAD AUTOGRAPH BOOKS and UWCL WINNERS QUAD AUTOGRAPH BOOKS each bring together the signatures of 4 stars.

The INCEPTION PATCH RELICS and MATCHDAY MEMORIES RELICS combine pieces of shirts worn by the stars with the unmistakable look of the Inception collections. The UWCL FINAL CORNER FLAG RELICS and UWCL FINAL GOAL NET RELICS offer special memorabilia from the UEFA Women’s Champions League 2024/25 final, played in May 2025 at Lisbon’s Estádio José Alvalade XXI, and contain pieces of the corner flags and goal nets used on that day.

A sought-after target for many collectors are the autograph relic cards, which combine the signatures of the stars with pieces of shirts. The INCEPTION AUTOGRAPH PATCH RELICS and MATCHDAY MEMORIES AUTOGRAPH RELICS do so in impressive fashion and are joined by the NUMBER 1 PATCH AUTOGRAPH RELICS featuring special pieces, such as parts of gloves belonging to the two goalkeepers Oliver Kahn and Thibaut Courtois.

The DUAL AUTOGRAPH PATCH BOOKS and AUTOGRAPH BRANDED PATCH BOOKS present the combination of a shirt piece and signature in the particularly premium form of a book card.

The CLUB CREST AUTOGRAPH PATCH RELICS are truly exclusive collectibles, with only one example of each produced as a 1/1 card.
