If Old Trafford had a gift shop in Willy Wonka’s factory, the boxes on the shelves might look like this. Topps has handed the keys to Manchester United’s trophy room and let the Red Devil run wild in pure chromium. The result? One eight-card hobby box that’s 90 percent autographs, 10 percent gemstones, and exactly zero base cards. (Traditionalists may now clutch their vintage ticket stubs.)
Cards per box: 8
Autographs or auto relics: 5 (yes, five!)
Numbered relics: 1
Numbered inserts: 2
Cases: 3 boxes apiece—start budgeting.
Release date: August 1, 2025 (subject to the soccer gods).
Topps skipped a base set and dove straight into the goodies:
Manchester United Chrome – 23 cards starring modern icons and club legends.
Old Trafford Ovation – 20 cards applauding everyone from Kobbie Mainoo to Robin van Persie.
’92 – A nostalgic high-five to the Class of ’92 core. Base autos here are numbered, sensibly, to /92.
All Timer – Two cards, two records: Wayne Rooney’s goals and Ryan Giggs’ appearances.
Each insert has the usual rainbow of refractors plus a fiery Red Devil Refractor that replaces Topps’ standard red. Because branding.
Manchester United Chrome Autographs (45 cards) and Speak of the Devil Autographs (24 cards) headline the signature show with eight parallel tiers each.
All Timer and ’92 inserts get autograph versions, too.
Manchester Moments Autograph Relics (13 cards) immortalize historic highlights on signed memorabilia.
Treble Autograph Relics (3 cards) celebrate that little 1999 thing where United won, well, everything.
Backed by the Red Devil – a lone 1/1 Wayne Rooney patch-auto featuring the crest’s devil trident. Expect bidding wars.
Red Devil Relics (29 cards): three genuine rubies embedded in each logo. Because subtlety is overrated.
Treble Legends Relics (5 cards) keep the 1999 nostalgia flowing.
United Way Club Crest Relics (14 cards): 1/1 Superfractors with the word “United” peeled straight from match-worn patches. Scrapbooking, but make it premium.
Orange /25, Purple /15, Black /10, Red Devil /5, and of course the lone-ranger Superfractor /1 run across most inserts and autos.
5 autographs or autograph relics – your marker-sniffing friends will swoon.
1 numbered relic – maybe ruby-studded, maybe crest-carved.
2 numbered inserts – pick your Manchester accent.
Old Trafford Ovation (20): Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho, van der Sar, Cantona, Rooney, more.
Manchester United Chrome (23): Onana, Martínez, Shaw, Casemiro, Rasmus Højlund, Ibrahimović, George Best, etc.
’92 (5): Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, Giggs, Scholes.
All Timer (2): Giggs, Rooney.
(Full XLSX checklist will drop once Topps is done polishing those ruby inlays.)
Whether you’re chasing Giggs ink, ruby-flecked relics, or that mythical Rooney 1/1, Chrome Deluxe Manchester United turns every pack into a very expensive scratch-ticket—with better odds of a happy ending than United’s last penalty shoot-out. Good luck, and mind the trident.
