Crack open one of these eight-card hobby boxes and you’re basically sneaking into Old Trafford with a Sharpie in hand. Topps skipped the base cards, dove straight into ink and relics, and sprinkled in enough ruby gemstones to make a jeweler nervous.
The quick math goes like this: five autographs or auto-relics, one numbered relic, and two numbered inserts per box. Cases hold just three boxes, so if you’re planning a break, bring friends—preferably ones who can afford to split rent afterward.
Insert Playground
• Manchester United Chrome (23 cards) mixes current stars like Rasmus Højlund with legends such as George Best.
• Old Trafford Ovation (20 cards) gives a standing clap to everyone from Kobbie Mainoo to Eric Cantona.
• ’92 (five cards) salutes the Class of ’92—Gary and Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, and Paul Scholes. Autographs here are perfectly numbered to 92.
• All Timer (two cards) tips a cap to Giggs (appearances) and Rooney (goals).
Each insert chases the usual refractor rainbow, but the Red Devil Refractor /5 swaps in for the standard red. A one-of-one Superfractor lurks at the end of each spectrum.
Autograph Overload
Two massive signature lineups—Manchester United Chrome Autographs (45 names) and Speak of the Devil Autographs (24 names)—anchor the checklist, each sporting eight tiers of parallels. Smaller auto sets appear for All Timer and ’92, while Manchester Moments Autograph Relics retell 13 key highlights on bits of signed memorabilia.
For pure theatre, there’s Treble Autograph Relics, three cards celebrating that wild 1999 season. And looming over everything is a lone Wayne Rooney “Backed by the Red Devil” 1/1 patch-auto, complete with the devil’s trident crest. Expect that one to vanish faster than a late stoppage-time goal.
Relics and Rubies
Red Devil Relics (29 cards) embed three real rubies in the logo—subtle as a home kit on laundry day. Treble Legends Relics honor five heroes from the 1999 run, while United Way Club Crest Relics form a 14-card Superfractor set spelling “United” with letters cut off game-worn patches.

Collectors can download the full XLSX checklist once Topps finishes polishing the gemstones. Until then, happy hunting—and may your box be as loaded as a Rooney volley from 30 yards.
