The lot includes various Panini Adrenalyn XL 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa cards and Panini UEFA Champions League 2007 trading cards.
Individual player highlights include Dennis Bergkamp, Robbie Fowler, Jamie Carragher, Joe Cole, Stan Collymore, and early career examples of Kaka and Dirk Kuyt.

More Information
The majority of the stickers remain unpeeled with original backing papers intact and appear in NM (Near Mint) condition. Some loose items show minor softening or rounding to the corners (photo 1). The early David Beckham holographic stickers show light surface wear and minor creasing to the foil (photo 14). The older card stock items, such as the John Angus card, exhibit natural toning and yellowing consistent with age (photo 19). The 2006 album retail wrap is heavily creased and torn in several places, though the album remains protected (photo 12). Some bundles held with rubber bands show minor edge indentations (photo 6).
