Topps Match Attax UEFA Champions League #LE 2
Year & Era
2022-23 — Modern Era
Card Type
Limited Edition Gold Parallel
Grade
7.5 (Near Mint) estimated
Rarity
Limited edition but mass-produced for the Match Attax game system; widely available in starter packs or promotional tins.
Overall Assessment
A great budget-friendly collectible for a Real Madrid or Vini Jr. fan, but not a high-end investment piece due to its nature as a TCG game card.
Condition Grade
7.5 (Near Mint) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front centering appears slightly shifted to the right, approximately 60/40. Left border is visibly wider than the right.
Surface Condition
Near Mint; the foil surface shows typical light scuffing common with Match Attax cards. No major scratches visible.
Corner Condition
White wear/chipping is visible on the bottom-left corner and minor blunting on the top-right.
Edge Condition
Minor chipping visible on the left and bottom edges, which is a frequent issue with the thin card stock used for game cards.
Print Quality
High-intensity metallic gold foil effect with sharp image resolution. Colors are vibrant with good contrast.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $15.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
Standard for 'out of pack' condition. Most Match Attax cards suffer from edge chipping due to the production process, and this copy is no exception.
Authentication Tips
Verify the 'LE 2' code and the official Topps and UEFA logos. Genuine cards have a specific paper weight and a holographic 'refractor' light refractance pattern.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The cost of grading exceeds the market value of the card.
Red Flags
Lower-left corner shows significant whitening/chipping which would prevent a high grade.
Provenance Notes
Part of the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League Match Attax collection, usually found in multi-packs or tins.
Historical Context
Features Vini Jr. during his peak years at Real Madrid following his winning goal in the 2022 Champions League Final.
Market Trends
Vini Jr. cards generally have high demand as a world-class talent, but collectors prefer 'Topps Chrome' or 'Panini Prizm' over the 'Match Attax' game series.
Investment Potential
Low. Match Attax cards rarely appreciate significantly compared to premium hobby brands.

Display & Preservation
Store in a penny sleeve and top loader. Avoid direct sunlight as the gold foil can fade or peel over time.
Interesting Facts
Match Attax is a trading Card Game (TCG); the numbers like '90 Attack' and '35 Defence' are statistics for gameplay, not real-world performance metrics.
