Everything Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi touch turns to gold – and that includes the London Card Show.

The last event in August saw a incredible one of one dual autograph card of the GOAT contenders become a star attraction.

The London Card Shows offers something for everyone when it comes to trading cards and memorabiliaLondon Card Show

Fans flocked for a glimpse of the rare piece of memorabilia, which eventually sold for £67,000, and even more will flow through the doors of Sandown Racecourse for the next show.

It’s set to be a record-breaking affair with 6,200 trading card collectors set to buy, sell, and trade the some of the most valuable cards, stickers, and collectibles in the UK.

And London Card Show founder Harry Reynolds is keen to ensure they remain the go-to events on the calendar.

He told talkSPORT.com: “It’s nice having that platform where people do feel comfortable bringing the huge high value cards to the show to trade. It really shows how far the show has come.

“People say, ‘Oh, I want to sell this at London.’ or ‘I want to buy this to sell it at London’ is something I quite regularly hear.

“And some of the money people do buying and sell for at the show is quite obscene as well.”

There is a chance that the Ronaldo-Messi Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions one of one could be eclipsed at the winter event being held on Saturday, November 1 and Sunday November 2 – but it doesn’t involve a footballer.

Reynolds added: “We know that there’s a card from the new Marvel set, a one of one Wolverine is coming along, which a lot of people have said is a six-figure card with with some of the numbers which the Americans are going for.

“This Marvel set is pretty bonkers. So yeah, we there’s a huge Wolverine coming along.

“Steve Aoki has been all over this Marvel set. So he’s been reaching out to a fair few people, myself and all the attendees who and people in the UK who I know pull some pretty decent cards. It’s pretty impressive.

“But that’s probably the biggest card. I know some other people will just whip out cards as if they’re nothing. But that’s one which we’re aware of.”

Reynolds has also been networking in the United States, visiting ‘The National’ and the ‘Fanatics Fest’ over the last 12 months as he looks to take the London Card Show to the next level.

And the latter saw him rubbing shoulders with billionaire Michael Rubin and NFL icon Tom Brady.

Reynolds told talkSPORT.com: “Some people collect cards as a business, but they have no interest in cards. And some people are really into sports or the American sports and have no interest in cards. So it was a really good crossover. It was just something you’ve never seen before.

“Like in it, there’s a UFC octagon and then you go 20 meters, 100 meters, and all of a sudden there’s a WWE walkout, and then there’s an MLB area. There’s an NFL star doing a 40-yard dash. There’s a huge area for meet and greets. And then there’s almost a card show within that.

“It was really cool just bumping into Michael Rubin, bumping into Tom Brady. It’s something you don’t expect to happen when you’re collecting a little bit of cardboard. But yeah, it was really cool.”

“I spoke to Michael Rubin briefly. It was quite cool. He knew the London Card Show. So obviously, because I’m quite close with CEO of Fanatics events, Lance Fensterman, so there’s clearly been discussions, which is quite cool.

“We were wearing the same shoes at the time so it was a good start point for conversation. And it was only a two-minute conversation, but it was quite cool to chat to the main man himself among his huge entourage.

“And then you go a little bit further and you just look everywhere. There’s influencers, there’s sports stars, there’s everyone in and around it. So it’s just something for everyone.”

The European growth of sports trading cards – which has the London Card Show at its epicentre – also saw Topps host their first ever ‘Rip Nights’ outside of the United States.

In France, Paris Saint-Germain superstar Achraf Hakimi helped one young fan win a signed Lionel Messi card.

Meanwhile, in London shop Kaboom, it was Arsenal icon on and talkSPORT co-host Ray Parlour who starred, answering fan questions and opening boxes and packs a plenty.

“It was really, really cool,” said Reynolds. “The whole evening. It was chill to start. People just catching up, ripping some packs. And we went upstairs, met Ray who was getting into it.

Parlour appeared to thoroughly enjoy opening the boxes asking those at Topps for more.

That glee was something that impressed everyone at the event.

Reynolds added: “It’s nice to see people that don’t just rock up, spend the time there and go. He was going around chatting to people, trying to learn.

“He was asking questions. Really cool. So yeah, it was a fun night.”

Another Arsenal legend is set to star at the London Card Show with Paul Merson taking to the stage with iconic brand Futera for a Q&A and a signing session.

But he might now be the only famous face around as collecting hits the mainstream in the UK.

Celebrities like Roman Kemp have been spotted snapping up cards and memorabilia, while Chelsea star, and previous attendee, Tosin Adarabioyo is a keen member of ‘The Hobby’.

Reynolds added “We always have a few [celebrities] but some of them like to just stay anonymous and rock up, some of them will make an effort but can’t guarantee to come.

“Tosin has a game on the Sunday, so he’ll be resting on the Saturday. He said he might, but again, he’s another one where we love to have him along but we can’t guarantee anything, so we don’t like to promise it.

“We’ve got Paul Merson, Arsenal England legend, coming on the Sunday to do some meet and greets, do a talk, and then sign some autographs.

“It’s going to be an action-packed show.”
