The world of trading cards tends to live online.
Online auctions, online videos, online forums.
Apart from the odd Card Show, it’s where we as collectors often hang out.
But nothing quite beats the feeling of meeting like-minded people, who share our passion.
Getting together to open packs, trade cards and see elite collectibles, is an experience we all treasure – and one we should seek out as often as possible!
Thankfully this December, the experience is coming to you…
A brand new Fanatics Collectibles store has opened in London. Specially in Westfield, Shepherd’s Bush.
What To Expect From The Store
1. A Huge Range of Trading Cards on Offer
Firstly, let’s talk trading cards! The sheer variety of sets will blow your mind. From Topps Chrome to Merlin, Team Sets to Hobby Boxes. Whether you’re looking to add to your Match Attax collection, or going after low numbered autograph cards, there’s something for every budget.
2. Exclusive Memorabilia for Sale
Next, you’ll be able to appreciate (and buy) some of the most sought-after collectibles in the world. We’re talking signed shirts from Messi, Haaland and Pele! And if you’re into US sports, there’s also signed memorabilia from Tom Brady, Stephen Curry and Victor Wembanyama. This isn’t just a store, this is a museum of historic sporting collectibles you need to see to believe!
3. Trading Card Experts On-Hand
Understanding the world of trading cards can feel like a never-ending journey! Whether it’s card rarity, grading, chase cards or simply what’s in a particular set – the experts at Topps will be on-hand to answer your questions. If you need help with your collection, or perhaps you’re a parent looking for advice, come in store and speak to us.
4. Meet Famous Special Guests & Influencers
We’ve also lined up some of your favourite celebrities and influencers from the card collecting world. Meet your heroes, take photos and get their autographs!
5. Take a Card, Leave a Card Wall
Collecting isn’t just about buying cards and opening packs. It’s about helping others too. And nothing showcases that selflessness better than our ‘take a card, leave a card’ wall. It’s a wonderful way to give a card you don’t want, and replace it with one you do.
6. Personalised Card Creation Booth
We’d all love to be the next Messi or Ronaldo. Whether you’re a parent who’s footballing days are behind them, or a bright-eyed kid aiming for the big leagues, having your very own personalised Topps card can make that dream feel a little closer!
So make sure you visit in store, and make use of our Topps Card Creation Booth. It’s free to use, and will leave you with a totally unique addition to your collection!
7. Win a Prize on The Grabbing Machine
If all that wasn’t enough, we’re also got a Topps Grabber Machine stacked with incredible prizes. Each purchase gets a turn, or you can also exchange a flyer for a go too. There will be lots of them dotted around Westfield and by the store, so make sure to pick one up!
