Topps Bundesliga 2016


Fussball Bundesliga 2015/2016 is the 7th album of the German Bundesliga published by Topps, after taking over the licence from Panini for the season 2009/2010. The album is similar in layout and graphics to the previous ones. The special additions for this collection are the limited edition stickers, which are special shiny stickers of 18 star players (one per team). The same stickers are released also in the regular version that can be found inside the sticker packets. 
The album starts with the contents and an introductory page with three special stickers: the metallic Bundesliga logo and trophies (Bundesliga and 2.Bundesliga). Then the 18 competing clubs are shown in alphabetical order with 22 stickers over four pages: the shiny badge, the team photo (two stickers), the home/away kit, 17 players, and the star striker in action (shiny sticker).

After the Bundesliga clubs, there is one page about the season 2015/2016 with the sticker of the official ball and one page with three stickers about the Super Cup 2015 won by Wolfsburg. In this page, one sticker is the trophy and the other two are celebrations for the Super Cup victory against Bayern Munchen at penalties. 

The collection includes also the second division (2.Bundesliga). For these 18 clubs there are two stickers: the club badge (regular sticker) and the home/away kit. The album ends with the schedule of the season, but no other section with stickers. In the following, we present photos of the album and all the 18 limited edition stickers released for this collection.
