I would normally buy these palace players in their international set-up, but unless the card/striker states Palace as their club as well, i just pass on them,

Another nice international card

2014 Futera Unique Titans Auto Autograph card - WILFRIED ZAHA ( /35)

My only personal collecting criteria re international cards/stickers is that the player was at Palace at the time the card was issued.

Otherwise I'd have hundreds of Gareth Southgate England cards and stickers (for example) yet he never actually played for England as a Palace player (his 1st cap was after he left the club)

...however I had to make a first ever exception for Lee Chung-Yong. There is a large number of cards for this player as he has a long international pedigree, and this card was just irresistible to be added to my collection

New series alert!

TOPPS Premier Club 2014/15, out tomorrow.

http://cartophilic-info-exch.blogspo...b-2015-02.html

Premium cards, including signed ones, and produced to be sold in the UK (as opposed to Premier Gold which are imported from US/Asia)

No checklist yet, but I suspect this time tomorrow we'll know what's what!

A couple of months ago, Topps said that the Palace auto cards would be Campbell, Bolasie and Puncheon. :)

TOPPS Premier Club 2015 cards CHECKLIST

Base Cards:-

29. Julian Speroni (Crystal Palace) Goalkeeper
30. Joel Ward (Crystal Palace) Defender
31. Scott Dann (Crystal Palace) Defender
32. Mile Jedinak (Crystal Palace) Midfielder
33. Yannick Bolasie (Crystal Palace) Midfielder
34. Jason Puncheon (Crystal Palace) Midfielder
35. Fraizer Campbell (Crystal Palace) Forward

Each base card also has four parallel printing plates

Superstar card:-

155. Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace) Midfielder (Gold rainbow foil)

Again with four printing plates, plus an Emerald Green foil parallel version

Club Badge card:-

185. Club Badge (Crystal Palace) (Gold rainbow foil)

Also a parallel version in Emerald green foil

Autograph Cards:-

13. Frazier Campbell (Crystal Palace) #/125
21. Yannick Bolasie (Crystal Palace)
40. Jason Puncheon (Crystal Palace) #/120

you beat me to it, Have the normal base set (7 cards), also the badge & Zaha, some of the prices differ quite a bit amongst the sellers , the auto cards that i've seen so far are very expensive ,

A packet retails at £3 (5 cards) There are 50 packets in a box, so a box costs £150 (although dealers pay a little over £100 from click)
Insert rate is only 1 auto card per box. Rather a mean insert ratio, but this also suggests there will be floods of base cards very soon.

So the autos are initially going to be fairly high until demand drops off. Luckily the 3 Palace autos are not that rare (100+ of each exist). The Gareth Bale auto is only /11, so will be rather sought after in comparison (£100+).
I have bought one auto – did so by ordering it along with 9 low value/base cards and so got a 25% discount off everything in the order.

Just like the Bolasie Pro11 card,I think the price of the Palace autos will drop soon enough.

Just on interest, these Green parallel cards, are they in limited numbers like the premier gold (#/60 ) ?

Not individually numbered and limited, no.

Just issued in smaller numbers, so rarer, in that they are less frequently in packets…….and therefore more expensive if buying singly from a dealer.

Rainbow foil Zaha Superstar (1 in 2.8 packs)
Emerald Green foil Zaha Superstar (1 in 10 packs)

Rainbow foil crest (1 in 2.8 packs)
Emerald Green foil crest (1 in 10 packs)

Most sellers have already dropped the price of the three Palace auto cards by £5, and that's after just one day! :)

Definitely worth sitting tight and making the sellers sweat a little.:D

I've just seen this on ebay as a 27 card set (counting the kits as 1 card). The ones missing from above is 267 Mile Jedinak and 99 Club Badge

Congrats mate, i still need a few, but my cash flow is very low at the moment with the arrival of my grandson last month,
Regarding the BOING Johathan card , have you seen another since you brought yours ?

No not seen another one of those Parr cards since.

Although a fairly recent acquisition along the same lines (from a Scandinavian magazine - 'Kickerz' - set) is this Hangeland card :)

http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...psprp0wrpc.jpg

http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/m...psqg81sl4s.jpg

Regarding the card above, done some research on it, (most you already know)

The magazine called Kickerz issued in Norway/sweden,
It's monthly, you buy it as a package each month, with each package you get:

Kickerz magazine
mega stars book
12 football cards
soccer star figure X1
comic book
footballer poster

All for a price of 179 sek + 49 sek postage Exchange rate = £17.71....

No wonder these cards are difficult to get hold off

Finally managed to get that yellow Bolasie yellow relic shirt bit from the 13/14 season

Can't remember seeing this listed in this forum..

Topps are selling 'oversize' versions of the 2014/15 Premier Gold cards

Rather than buying packs, and getting anything or odds off ebay, this time you just buy the whole base set.

http://www.topps.com/artwork/sets/to...mier-gold.html

Not bothering myself, but a nice variation for any determined completists.

you beat me too it David, Seen these on ebay for a few days, managed to get hold of a couple purple ones , cheapest so far costing £6 each, I'm not going to bother with the orange/black ones, way to expensive ,
On the plus note thou, managed to get the 13/14 match attax x3 palace cards Vietnam issues
