Welcome back to the Cards on the Table Podcast – your home for football trading cards.

Kieran, Pete, Jack and Ryan are back to break down a huge week in the hobby: from the buzz around Topps FugenZ and its ultra-short print run, to the rise of The Whatnot Card Show and the launch of Fanter Pro for serious collectors and breakers.

In this episode we cover:

• FugenZ – first impressions of one of the shortest-printed football sets ever, featuring high auto rates, low numbering and incredible chases.
• The Whatnot Card Show – how it’s changing the game for breakers and why community-driven events matter more than ever.
• One-of-ones and case hits – the thrill, the pressure, and how these moments define modern breaking.
• National Treasures revival – why older sets are making a comeback and how accessibility is shifting collector priorities.
• Fanter Pro – the new platform built to help serious collectors track values, manage hits, and grow their networks.
• Streaming & community – the rise of new breakers, the power of giveaways, and why relationships matter more than pull rates.

Welcome back to the Cards on the Table Podcast – your home for football trading cards.

Kieran, Pete, Jack and Ryan are back to chat new releases, hobby news, and how breakers navigate quiet weeks in the calendar. We dig into Topps’ latest, the Whatnot outage, and a stacked end to the year.

In this episode we cover:

• Topps FugenZ – exclusive India release, only ~40 cases worldwide, 21 UCC teams, two numbered per box, autos roughly 1 in 2 boxes, price around £150, and big triple autos like Bellingham–Vini Jr–Rodrygo and Kane–Musiala–Gnabry. Do you prefer guaranteed autos or the lucky box chase?

• Topps Summer Signings – 6 packs per box, 6 cards per pack, one guaranteed auto, two numbered, around £100. First cards of stars in new kits plus tasty dual autos.

• End-of-year Topps lineup – Deco, Merlin, Museum and Inception potentially landing before Christmas, with Dynasty mentioned too. We debate collectability vs break value: Inception eye-candy vs Merlin and Deco for volume, and where Museum fits.

• Panini watch – Noir checklist out and Flawless teased for the World Cup cycle.

• Industry news – Whatnot’s outage and what it meant for breakers, shows, payouts and buyers on the night.

• Lamine Yamal autos – limiting signatures to official products only. What that means for values, fan engagement, and why legends’ autos still matter.

• Breakers Corner – strategies during a release lull: revisiting sleeper products like Merlin 22/23, managing stock and pricing, and whether to dabble in Disney, Marvel, darts or F1 when football is quiet.

Hits of the Week

• Futera gold frame 1/1 Lamine Yamal

• Futera Peace Unique 1/1 Diego Maradona match-worn boot piece (1986)

• Immaculate 1/1 Christian Pulisic boot piece and Kylian Mbappé patch auto /3 in the same case

• Immaculate 1/1 tri-auto Messi–Suárez–Neymar

• Early FugenZ monsters including Bellingham–Vini Jr–Rodrygo and Kane–Musiala–Gnabry triple autos
