These Euro 2024 autographed buying and selling playing cards might web you HUNDREDS

Football fans are on a treasure hunt to unearth rare autographed Euro 2024 trading cards which are selling online for huge sums of money.

As part of its Match Attax card range for Euro 2024, Topps has launched a series of autographed cards for each team in the competition.

It told This is Money there is one of these autographed cards hidden in every 1,900 packets of £2.50 Euro 2024 Match Attax cards across Europe. 

With the Euros having just kicked off, most fans’ minds might be on England getting to the final of the competition, but these cards are still hot property, and no doubt the talk of the playground and collectors groups alike.

Big ticket: The Euro 2024 autographed Match Attax cards can sell for hundreds on the resell market

Ultra-rare: A rainbow Harry Kane card, one of just ten made, sold for nearly £200 in April

If you can bring yourself to part with them, these cards can fetch a serious amount of money on the resell market.

While total of 33 autographed card designs have been issued, with fourteen teams depicted in the range, Topps refused to say how many cards in total it has printed and had signed.

Four players from England’s squad have signed cards: Jordan Pickford, Kieran Trippier, Harry Kane and… Paul Gascoigne.

Already, collectors lucky enough to get their hands on these are taking to reselling these cards on sites like Ebay, listing them for hundreds of pounds each. 

An autographed Harry Kane rainbow card sold for £194 in April. The back of the card reads ’04/10′ indicating that these rarer forms of the autographed cards have much more limited numbers in circulation. 

Topps said the autographed cards can be found as both base cards, as well as mirror cards, rainbow cards and rainbow gold cards.

These variations differ in rarity, with rainbow gold cards being the most difficult to get your hands on, whereas the base cards are the most common, and don’t have circulation numbers printed on the back.

It’s also worth pointing out here these the trading card packs – not £1 packets of stickers, which is a different collection. 

Jordan Pickford and Kieran Trippier cards have also been listed for between £110 and £185 on the e-commerce site, but there is no sign of Gazza cards beeing listed.

The host nation, Germany, Meanwhile, has three cards, including one signed by Timo Werner, while France has five cards.

Belgium, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy and the Netherlands each have two cards, Austria and Portugal have three and Spain, Switzerland and Turkey have one each.

According to Topps, each card’s signing was witnessed by a representative of the company, to ensure that it is authentic.

Sold listings on the Ebay show that a Rasmus Hojlund autographed card sold for £240, while Brian Laudrup and Luis Figo cards have both sold for £220.

While the lowest sale seen by This is Money was £39 for a Marcel Sabitzer card, the vast majority of the cards sold for well over £100.

Either way, finding one of these cards could earn you a pretty penny, especially considering how much you would have paid for a pack of the cards.

This is Money also saw a Euro 2024 printing plate for Topps’ Patrick Wimmer card listed for a whopping £1,100.

Boy from Birmingham: Jude Bellingham signed this one-of-one trading card

The trading card company has also released a run of nine autographed ‘combo cards’ which feature autographs from two players from the same country.

France has three of these combo cards, while Germany, Austria, Belgium, Italy, Portugal and Spain have one card each.

Topps said it classes these cards as ‘Mega Ultra-Rare’, while the regular autograph cards are ‘Ultra-Rare’.

For those collectors in it for the long haul, and not just the Euros, Topps has also released a one-of-a-kind Jude Bellingham card, signed by the player and with the inscription ‘Just a Boy from Birmingham’.

Unfortunately for fans of the Real Madrid player, no Euro 2024 cards autographed by Jude Bellingham have been created. 

Topps said the card has been inserted randomly into a Topps UEFA Club Competitions 23/24 packs – and at present, no one has come forward to say they have found it.  

Jason Flynn, host of the Soccer Cards United Podcast, said: ‘Bellingham’s one-of-one autograph market is extremely healthy and shows no signs of slowing down with his performances at Real Madrid.

‘We could see this card fetching up to $10,000 at auction. Inscription autographs are new to the soccer card market and collectors are still deciding on where they fit in the hierarchy but given Jude’s superstar status, young age, and the number of high-end collectors already interested in him, it’s not hard to see this card attracting massive interest.’
