Topps [trade/commercial / cards : UK] “Best of the Best” (2020/2021) 55/200?

Here are some things you may not know about Cristiano Ronaldo.

His full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro.

He was born in Funchal, Madeira.

According to the Trading Card Database / Ronaldo he appears on 7,556 cards.

And in 2009 he revealed that was told to give up football and become a professional table tennis player. In his autobiography he admitted that he was so fond of both games that the thought did cross his mind, but in the end football won, mainly because of his idolisation of the Portuguese player Eusebio. 

These are larger cards than normal, and Now in case you were wondering why we say 200? in the heading, it is because there are different groups of these cards – 180 base cards, plus five special cards each of “Game Breakers” and “Master Class”, and ten different autograph cards. So it depends on if you are happy with just the base set, or if you want all the specials, or even if, for whatever reason, you only want the cards that show your hero. 

We do know that the cards sold in packets of seven, for a cost of £3 a packet, which seems rather costly to me - and that a total of a thousand autograph cards were made.
