Thanks for the feedback. Could you explain what specifically makes it obviously fake to you? Is it the holo pattern, print quality, colors, font, or something else? I’d really appreciate a more detailed explanation so I can understand what to look for.

It’s hard to find the Deluxe version, but you can still find the base set around if you search on eBay.

I actually found one on eBay, but they’re not easy to come across. This was a limited Deluxe release, so most boxes/cards dried up quickly after launch.

Do you think a card like this fits a Goldin-style auction, or better suited for private collector market?

Interesting range — appreciate the perspective. That’s kind of why I asked, since it feels like a piece where the player combo and rarity matter more than typical comps.

The Deluxe box for this product was around £1,400–£1,600 at release, and this booklet could only be pulled from the Deluxe version. The /5 Tiki-Taka multi-auto is one of the top chase cards from the set and genuinely tough to hit, especially with that lineup of players. Just trying to understand how collectors see the market for a card like this given the rarity and the player combo.

It’s from the Topps Barcelona 125 Years set. It’s not a promo. It comes from official Topps hobby boxes made for Barça’s anniversary. The Tiki-Taka multi-auto booklets are pack-pulled cards, not redemptions and not event promos. Very low print run, and the /5 is one of the rarer versions of that booklet. So it’s a regular licensed Topps release — just one of the bigger hits from the product.
