2025 Topps Decades Premier League 90's Edition Soccer Checklist

Topps's 1990s Premier League throwback, with legends, pundits, image variations and an autograph in every box

2025 Decades Premier League 90's Edition is a Topps print-to-order set celebrating the Premier League's first decade. Topps's V3 checklist lists 144 base cards, 12 A Whole New Ball Game inserts, 17 image variations, 127 autographs and 5 retro autograph relics, 305 in all. Boxes hold 36 cards (6 packs of 6) with 1 autograph and 3 numbered cards per box, and autograph relics come in lucky boxes. No card numbers are printed on the checklist, so every card is listed without one.

What's in the checklist

• Base: Striker! (12), Terrace Heroes (45), Pioneers (10), Mercurial Talents (11), Cool Britannia (13), In the Mix (11), Bobbleheads (5), Memorable Quotes (7), Partnerships (6), Triple Threat (3), Back Four (1), Goals Galore (1), Planet Football (15) and Planet Football Duals (4). Each multi-player card is one row
• Parallels: Blue /99, Green /75, Purple /50, Orange /25, Black /10, Red /5 and Gold 1/1. Topps says the number of parallels and autographs varies by subject, so no per-card parallel list is given
• Variations: Image Variations (17 alternate photos of base subjects)
• Inserts: A Whole New Ball Game (12), celebrating the first Premier League season
• Autographs: autographed versions of ten base subsets (127 cards), including bonus Planet Football autographs. The checklist lists no autograph for John Motson, Tony Yeboah or Steven Gerrard. Retro Autograph Relics (5) carry what Topps describes as retro match-worn shirt pieces. An Only1 autograph reported elsewhere is not on Topps's checklist and is not listed

Notable subjects

Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Gianfranco Zola and Paul Scholes have base and autograph cards across several subsets, and Zola also has a retro autograph relic. David Ginola appears in In the Mix, signed and unsigned. Sir Alex Ferguson has Planet Football and Duals cards, their autographs, and a retro autograph relic.

Snapshot

This is a source-limited, dated snapshot as of 9 October 2026, built from Topps's V3 checklist PDF. It is not a complete master checklist. Topps's product page gives a print-to-order sale window starting 27 February 2026. That is a sale period, not a street date, so no release date is set.

Grading considerations

No card has a printed number on this checklist, so identify each one by subset, player and parallel colour, and match the serial number to the colour. Image variations look like the base card, so compare the photo. Inspect the surface for scratches and print lines, then the corners, edges and centering. Check every signature for smudging, fading and completeness, including each signature on dual and triple cards, and check that relic windows are clean and secure.
