Year & Era
2022-23 — Modern Era (Chrome/Refractor)
Card Type
Man of the Match Signature Style (Foil Insert)
Grade
7.5 to 8.5 (NM to NM-MT) estimated
Rarity
Common Insert; these were widely distributed in retail multipacks and booster boxes.
Overall Assessment
A clean, attractive insert card of a world-class goalkeeper, primarily intended for set builders or TCG players rather than high-end investors.
Condition Grade
7.5 to 8.5 (NM to NM-MT) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears slightly heavy on the right border (approx. 60/40); top-to-bottom looks relatively balanced.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; the foil surface shows typical fine manufacturing lines and minor print dots common in Match Attax retail products.
Corner Condition
Top-left corner shows a minor ding/whitening; bottom corners appear relatively sharp for a paper-stock card.
Edge Condition
Visible silver chipping along the top edge, typical of Topps foil-coated cards from this era.
Print Quality
Average; featuring a digital 'facsimile' signature (printed on) rather than a hand-signed autograph.
Estimated Value
$2.00 - $8.00 USD (Raw); Graded copies rarely exceed $30 due to high supply and retail nature.
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard consistency for this set; centering is within the acceptable range for a factory-standard retail pull.
Authentication Tips
Verify the 'Signature Style' text; this card features a printed graphic signature, not real ink. Check for official UEFA hologram on reverse.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading (PSA/BGS) far exceeds the market value of the card.
Red Flags
No significant red flags; the facsimile signature is often mistaken for a real autograph by new collectors.
Provenance Notes
Distributed via Topps Match Attax packs during the 2022-23 season as part of a trading card game (TCG) set.
Historical Context
Jan Oblak is considered one of the greatest goalkeepers in Atlético de Madrid history and a pillar of the La Liga era.
Market Trends
Stable/Low; Goalkeeper cards generally have lower market ceilings compared to forwards unless they are rare short-prints.
Investment Potential
Low; as a mass-produced trading card game insert with a printed signature, it lacks significant long-term growth potential.
