Year & Era
2021-2022 — Modern Era (Match Attax)
Card Type
Signature Style (Insert)
Grade
4 (VG-EX) estimated
Rarity
Common Insert. While titled "Signature Style," this is a mass-produced printed replica signature, not a hand-signed card.
Overall Assessment
A standard gaming insert in poor condition. Ideal for a young fan's personal collection or for use in the Match Attax game, but holds no significant value for serious investors.
Condition Grade
4 (VG-EX) estimated
Centering Assessment
Front: Approximately 55/45 Left-Right; appears slightly shifted toward the right within the foil border.
Surface Condition
Poor to Fair. Visible horizontal crease/scratch across the top left and significant surface scuffing near the bottom right edge. Loss of luster.
Corner Condition
Softened and frayed. Distinct white wear visible on the bottom-right and top-right corners with rounding.
Edge Condition
Poor. Significant chipping and silver foil loss along the bottom and right edges. Top edge shows minor dings.
Print Quality
Average for a gaming card. The silver foil border and "Signature Style" effect are standard for Topps Match Attax of this era.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $3.00 USD
Comparison to Known Examples
This copy is in significantly worse condition than most "Pack Fresh" examples found in the secondary market due to multiple creases and edge wear.
Authentication Tips
Verify that the signature is printed as part of the card layer. These are often mistaken for real autographs; true autographs in this set usually have a 'Topps Certified Autograph Issue' authentication statement.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading. The card is a budget-tier gaming card with significant physical damage that would result in a very low grade.
Red Flags
Significant physical damage centered around a crease on the top-left and severe edge chipping which severely impacts collector value.
Provenance Notes
Distributed via Topps Match Attax retail packs, often found in 'Mega Tins' or booster packs during the 2021/22 season.
Historical Context
Features Havertz during his tenure at Chelsea, specifically following his winning goal in the 2021 Champions League Final.
Market Trends
Match Attax gaming cards typically see a sharp decline in value once the season ends and the new game is released. Value for Havertz has cooled since his move to Arsenal.
Investment Potential
Minimal to none. Between the condition and the nature of the set (gaming card insert vs high-end hobby card), it is unlikely to appreciate.

Display & Preservation
Place in a penny sleeve and top loader to prevent further peeling of the foil edges and to stop the crease from widening.
Interesting Facts
This card design mimics a hand-signed card to appeal to younger collectors, but the 'signature' is purely a graphic element.
