Market outlook
Stable Outlook 6/10
The base common version should generally track the broader interest in Raphinha and FC Barcelona, but supply is plentiful and the card lacks serial numbering or autograph scarcity. Prices may move modestly with player performance or set nostalgia, but strong long-term appreciation is more likely in premium variants.
Next months. Expected to remain low-priced and liquid, with minor fluctuations around player form, breaks, and set demand.
Long term. Likely to remain a collectible modern insert with modest value unless Raphinha’s career achievements significantly increase legacy demand; premium parallels should outperform the common base card.
History
Raphinha is the professional footballer Raphael Dias Belloli, known globally as Raphinha. A Brazilian winger recognized for his pace, direct dribbling, left-footed delivery, and high-end chance creation, he rose through Brazilian football and established himself in Europe before becoming a standout attacker for FC Barcelona and the Brazil national team. In the context of trading cards, he is a modern star player card subject with strong collector interest due to his club profile, international recognition, and consistent presence in Topps UEFA releases.
This card was first released in the 2025 Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions set, distributed in 2025 in Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions hobby and retail product formats. The checklist places Raphinha at card number PP-13 in the Power Players subset.
- Card number PP-13 identifies it as part of the Power Players insert/subset rather than the main base set.
- Checklist sources place Raphinha alongside other elite European club stars such as Vini Jr. and Romelu Lukaku in the same Power Players sequence.
- Raphinha has broader card-variation coverage across Topps UEFA Chrome releases, which increases collector visibility and set completion demand.

Collector notes
Condition. Check centering carefully, especially on Chrome stock where off-centering is easier to see. Inspect the surface for scratches, streaking, print lines, roller marks, and fingerprints. Chrome edges can show whitening or chipping, and corners are prone to softening from pack handling. Because this is a modern chromium insert, surface blemishes often matter more than age-related wear.
Storage. Store in a soft penny sleeve inside a clean top loader or card saver for raw copies. For high-grade copies, use a slab from a reputable grading service. Keep away from heat, humidity, and direct sunlight to preserve the chrome finish. Avoid repeated handling, and use clean hands or gloves if frequent inspection is needed.
Authenticity. Verify the exact PP-13 numbering, player name spelling, and Topps Chrome UEFA branding. Genuine cards should have clean chrome print quality, consistent font alignment, and proper holographic/refraction effects where applicable on parallel versions. Compare against checklist images and known authentic sales if buying raw. Be cautious with altered parallels, reprinted custom cards, and counterfeit chrome stock that may show blurry text or poor foil quality.
