Winger / Attacking Midfielder · Aston Villa (Current: Manchester City)
Topps Match Attax Premier League 2020-21 #416
Year & Era
2020-21 Season — Modern Era
Card Type
100 Club — Fire (Holographic Foil)
Grade
1.0-2.0 (Poor/Fair) estimated
Rarity
Relatively common insert; while '100 Club' cards were hit-based, mass production of Match Attax makes this a high-population card.
Overall Assessment
This is a heavily played '100 Club' insert from the 2020 Topps Match Attax set. While Grealish is a top-tier star, the severe surface damage and corner wear render this card a 'filler' copy for a personal collection only, with no significant financial or investment value.
Condition Grade
1.0-2.0 (Poor/Fair) estimated
Centering Assessment
Appears relatively centered horizontally, but the physical condition prevents a precise assessment of margins.
Surface Condition
Extremely Poor. The card exhibits heavy scratching, scouring, and significant surface loss, particularly in the lower left corner where the foil is entirely peeled or worn away.
Corner Condition
Poor. All four corners show significant softening, rounding, and separation of the card layers.
Edge Condition
Poor. Significant chipping and wear along all perimeters, with visible white of the card stock showing through the foil layer.
Print Quality
High-saturation holographic foil production, common for the Topps Match Attax gaming line.
Estimated Value
$0.50 - $2.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
Significantly below average condition. Most '100 Club' inserts in the hobby are maintained in 'Near Mint' condition due to their status as chase cards.
Authentication Tips
Authentic Match Attax cards feature a specific coarse card stock and a 'Topps' logo on the reverse. Counterfeits for this specific gaming line are rare due to the low individual value.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading exceeds the value of the card by a factor of 20, and the low condition would result in a 'Poor' grade.
Red Flags
Heavy physical damage, surface scuffs, and potential humidity-related foil peeling.
Provenance Notes
Distributed in retail foil packs and starter kits for the 2020-21 trading card game.
Historical Context
Reflects Grealish's final season as captain of Aston Villa before his record-breaking £100 million transfer to Manchester City.
Market Trends
Grealish cards had a peak during his transfer to Manchester City; currently stable to slightly declining as a veteran player.
Investment Potential
None. The card is in distressed condition and is a mass-produced gaming card rather than a high-end hobby collectible.

Display & Preservation
Place in a penny sleeve and top-loader to prevent further foil peeling, though the damage is already permanent.
Interesting Facts
