Yet more Palace Match Attax!!!!
 

As mentioned in post #558 (above) today saw the release of three more Palace Match Attax cards!!

The original 2013/14 set had 22 different Palace cards (not including the Mariappa variation)

Then there was the Jedinak 'Superstar' promo card

Then only 15 days ago, Match Attax 'Extra' came out, and it featured 9 more Palace cards. Apparently, this set came out a few weeks earlier then it normally does, because Topps wanted to get on with issuing World Cup cards. Some collectors were rather critical of the 'Extra' set (it takes all sorts!), because the main January transfers were not featured, and some of the cards in the set were already out of date (eg Campana featured for Palace despite him having left for Nuremburg in January)

Anyway today, three sheets of 6 (18 new cards) were issued, to hopefully address the gaps, and also to act as promotional items. The sheets look like this:-

There are 3 new Palace cards amongst the 18 new ones

EX7 Scott Dann Star Signing
EX8 Tom Ince Star Signing
EX9 Joe Ledley Star Signing

So the only January 'new signing' for Palace not actually featured is Wayne Hennesey - not unreasonable really considering he hasn't played (and probably won't this season either)

These cards are perforated :( although apparently ones with smooth edges should be available direct from Topps (eventually) or at their 'Swap and Play' tours if that matters.

They are 'officially' available by buying MOTD QUIZ SPECIAL magazine, which came out today in WH Smiths (£2.99) - for that you get the mag, 2 packets of Extra cards, and one promo sheet of these 6 new cards. Needless to say, the three different Palace cards are on 3 different sheets, so in theory you'd need to buy 3 copies of the mag to get them all (the contents are in a sealed polybag, but you can see which card sheet you get with each to ensure you don't duplicate)....OR you can just use a well known auction website and cut out all the hassle :D I know which method I prefer!

Overall, Match Attax has really covered this season and our multitude of players very thoroughly. The only notable absence is Glenn Murray, and you never know, maybe even he will feature in a future promotional sheet before the end of the season?


EDIT - Incidentally, Topps didn't bother doing a set of Championship cards this season, so good thing we're in the Prem really!

After googling the maker, it seems that it originated in Norway in March 2013.

I don't really get match attack. Is it just like a pokemon style game?

I'm doing the sticker book with a few people at work. Stickers getting hard to come by I think I have about 80 left to get. No Palace shineys yet :(

Panini Brazil 2014 Stickers are out in some places (although official release date is April 3rd)

Two Palace players feature:-

174 Mile Jedinak (Australia)
588 Adlene Guedioura (Algeria)

david,,,,are these stickers or cards? do you have pics of them yet?

It's your bog standard Panini World Cup sticker album stickers. No pics of the Jedi or Pep stickers yet (there are 640 in the collection and it only came out today) (although I've ordered my stickers of both) however the format is like these:-

There will also be a Topps 'England 2014' sticker album, due out April 3rd or 4th. Not clear yet whether this will feature Jedi or Pep, I'd hope Jedi would feature at least.

This is the typical format:-

It should be noted that Topps don't have the licenses for any teams other than England, so they will have a very much 'unofficial' appearance compared to the Panini collection (which is after all the 'daddy' of World Cup sticker collections). Topps are aiming for the hard up kids market though at just 25p per pack and 7 stickers per pack!!

Here they are...

Nice to see "Crystal Palace" on the front of the stickers - this is a worldwide release collection so we'll be seen everywhere!

Just heard on here about the new World Cup stickers. Hopefully pick some up soon! I got really into it during 2010's World Cup.

cheers for the pics david..managed to pick them up on ebay this week :-)

Decided to have Premier League Sticker Album for the first time since 94-95 this season - Had so much fun completing I'm now very tempted to get a World Cup sticker album.


If anyone happens to want/need aroundTopps Premier League stickers let PM me as I have probably 70+doubles I have no need for and happy to post them out for free

will probably take you up on that offer I will give you the numbers tonight that I need when I get home, I need 47 more stickers to complete the set.

If charltonhater doesn't have all the stickers you need, let me know as I probably have just as many duplicates that I would be willing to send out to someone who needs them.

wow.. feeling rather proud.

I remember my old '98 world cup sticker book which was used extensively on many a football manager game. If I can find this world cup's book out here then I may well give it a go.

How many stickers are there in all?

640ish

Update.

You may remember post 556, a Jedinak card from Match Attax World Stars

This was a set sold everywhere apart from England.

In England, a near identical set was released this month, called Match Attax England, and card 16 is still Jedinak
