Collector Club
With the new Topps UEFA Club Competitions Deco 2025/26 set coming out this week, we thought it’d remiss of us not to showcase some of the coolest cards in the set this year, the Then & Now dual autograph cards.
Then & Now dual autograph cards pair club legends with current first-team stars. Ten teams are represented across the new inserts, offering a mix of nostalgic goodness alongside current stars. It is a natural evolution for Deco’s heritage-inspired aesthetic, and also follows Topps’ broader push to spotlight legendary stars of the game.
Ten Then & Now pairings confirmed
Each Then & Now card combines a past great with a contemporary name from the same club:
- Ronaldinho & Lamine Yamal — FC Barcelona
- Jan Joller & Serhou Guirassy — Borussia Dortmund
- Didier Drogba & João Pedro — Chelsea
- Alan Shearer & Yoane Wissa — Newcastle United
- Thierry Henry & Victor Gyökeres — Arsenal
- Georgi Kinkladze & Oscar Bobb — Manchester City
- Jude Bellingham & Toni Kroos — Real Madrid
- Lautaro Martínez & Hernán Crespo — Inter Milan
- Neymar & Ousmane Dembélé — Paris Saint-Germain
- Kenan Yildiz & Alessandro Del Piero — Juventus
Topps UCC Deco – Box format, inserts, and more!
The full checklist spans a 192-card set. Each box contains 80 cards, with one autograph and three numbered cards per box.
Bonus Inserts, Short Prints and Autograph Relic cards also feature in lucky boxes, adding extra chase beyond the core signature content.
Parallel tiers mirror Deco’s low-numbered profile, running /99 Blue, /75 Green, /50 Purple, /25 Orange, /10 Black, /5 Red and /1 Gold. With the Then & Now theme in the mix, the combination of duel signatures and scarce parallels should give this year’s Deco cards a distinct identity on the secondary market that will undoubtedly fetch high prices.
How much does Topps UCC Deco cost and is it still available?
Here’s the bad news… Topps UCC Deco 2025/26 carried an affordable RRP of £140 per box and is unsurprisingly already sold out. As is typical for Deco, early demand has pushed sealed box prices higher, with boxes now being resold at around £300 on the secondary market.
For UK collectors who missed the direct drop, it will be worth checking reputable sports card retailers and eBay sellers, paying close attention to seller feedback and sealed case provenance.
