History

Erling Haaland is a Norwegian professional footballer who has become one of the most feared goal scorers on the planet, known for his exceptional speed, power, and clinical finishing. He plays for Manchester City and the Norwegian national team, and has redefined modern scoring with his consistency and impact at the highest levels of football[1].

This specific card variant (Serial Numbered #01/25 from an unknown 2026 set) appears to be a limited, custom, or collector's dream release not tied to a major commercial debut. The first major commercial Haaland card was printed in the 2019-20 Topps series, shortly after his rise to prominence in European football[1].

• Haaland scored 30+ goals in his first full season at Manchester City, including a record-breaking 36-goal Premier League campaign[1].
• He won the 2023 UEFA Champions League and Premier League titles with Manchester City, completing a historic treble[1].
• His one-of-one auto from Topps Premier League sold for 3,500 pounds, highlighting his extreme scarcity and collector demand[8].

Collector notes

Condition. Check for centering, edge wear, surface scratches, and corner dents. Serial-numbered cards are especially prone to surface scuffs due to handling. Common flaws include misalignment in the serial number and printing imperfections on the card face[1].

Storage. Store in a rigid, non-PVC card sleeve, placed inside a top-loader or magnetic case. Keep in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid touching the card surface directly to prevent oils and scratches[1].

Authenticity. Fakes often lack precise serial number alignment, have inconsistent holograms, or show printing errors on the card face. Verify the card against authenticated databases and compare serial numbers with known copies. Authentic Haaland cards typically feature crisp logos, correct fonts, and official licensing marks from Panini or Topps[1][8].
