Topps unveils giant Andy Robertson trading card mosaic

Published on: 28th March 2024

The Andy Robertson mosaic, made of 5,000 Topps UEFA Euro 2024 Match Attax cards, has been donated to the Scottish Football Museum for fans and collectors to enjoy.

Topps has unveiled a staggering mosaic depicting Scotland captain Andy Robertson, created from over 5,000 full-size official Topps UEFA Euro 2024 Match Attax trading cards and representing more than 300 top footballers.

Revealed by Andy Robertson himself inside the iconic Hampden Park stadium, the mosaic has been donated by Topps to the Scottish Football Museum where it is now on display for visitors to see in the run-up to this summer’s tournament and beyond.

Topps, the stickers provider for UEFA Euro 2024, commissioned renowned artist Helen Marshall of the People’s Picture to create the mosaic solely using Euro 2024 Match Attax cards. The piece features cards of 316 top footballers from the tournament’s competing nations strategically placed to depict the legendary Scotland skipper.

Young people from Andy Robertson’s charity, AR26, were invited to attend the unveiling and kick-started their very own UEFA Euro 2024 Match Attax collections by removing individual physical cards from the mosaic. Also in attendance were content creators and avid Match Attax collectors, Billy Wingrove of the F2 Freestylers and his son, Roman Wingrove.

Andy Robertson said: “The prospect of captaining Scotland at UEFA Euro 2024 is an immense source of pride for me, so being able to mark that with Topps and this mosaic is really special.”

Patrick Rausch, chief marketing officer EMEA of Fanatics Collectibles and Topps, added: “It’s a privilege to unveil this incredible mosaic that unites the biggest tournament in European football, one of the world’s best players and our most exciting Match Attax collection to date. Anticipation for UEFA Euro 2024 is rocketing and we’re delighted not only to reveal the mosaic, but also to help the young attendees kick-start their Match Attax collections by removing cards from it.”

Neal Ross, operations manager, Scottish Football Museum, said: “Everyone knows that Andy is a true legend of Scottish football, so it’s a real honour to display this beautiful mosaic at the Scottish Football Museum. Trading cards are also a big part of football fandom, so the mosaic is a natural addition to our collection.”

Helen Marshall, the People’s Picture, added: “I am delighted to have partnered with Topps to take on the challenge of creating this Andy Robertson mosaic. From first seeing a handful of individual UEFA Euro 2024 Match Attax cards, through to unveiling the final piece which is made up from more than 5,000 of them, I’ve loved this journey of combining football with art.”

The Topps UEFA Euro 2024 Match Attax collection contains stars from each of the tournament’s competing nations and features subsets that fans know and love. These include signature-style legends cards, genuine autograph and relic cards, rare golden treasure cards, Euro Chrome Shields and Energy cards, an ultra-rare Cristiano Ronaldo career celebration chrome card and much more.

Match Attax cards are available now in single packets through to starter packs, mega multipacks, mega tins, celebration boxes and more variations.
