Bundesliga and Topps partner on debut match-worn shirt trading cards

The Bundesliga and Topps have launched a new initiative for players making their first starting XI appearance in the German top flight. Any player who hits this milestone will wear a specialized 1st Start sleeve patch during their debut match. Following the conclusion of these games, the match-worn patches will be authenticated and embedded into unique 1-of-1 hand-signed relic trading cards. These exclusive collectibles are slated to appear in the Topps Bundesliga Chrome sets scheduled for release in the spring of 2027. This program provides a new venue for collectors to obtain gear worn by athletes during their professional entry into the league. Future releases may feature cards from players such as Tim Binder or Maycon Cardozo should they make their first starts for Bayern this season.
