MGC Returns to TalkSport to Discuss 1/1 Erling Haaland Topps Card

This article is written for football fans and collectors following the latest news in the hobby.

MGC’s Second TalkSport Appearance

On Wednesday 3 September, Majesty Grading Company’s co-founder Jake Kirkham made his second appearance on TalkSport, the UK’s biggest sports radio network. The discussion centred on one of the most talked-about pulls of the year — the 1/1 Erling Haaland Topps card that was revealed live at the Topps Premier League launch party.

The Topps Premier League Launch Party

The event, hosted at the new Fanatics store, brought together collectors, influencers and football fans to celebrate the release of the latest Topps Premier League product. In front of a live audience, a true one-of-a-kind was uncovered — the Erling Haaland 1/1 card. The room erupted, and the news quickly spread across the hobby.

Why the Haaland 1/1 Matters

One-of-one cards (often printed with a “1/1” stamp) are unique — no duplicates exist. For a player of Haaland’s calibre, already breaking records in the Premier League and Champions League, owning his 1/1 Topps card is the ultimate prize. These cards often command huge attention from collectors worldwide and can achieve staggering prices at auction.

Jake’s Insights on TalkSport

Invited back after a successful first appearance, Jake joined the TalkSport team to explain what makes this card so significant. His discussion covered:

• Rarity: Why 1/1 cards are the pinnacle of modern collecting.
• Value: How unique cards tied to football icons like Haaland can achieve international demand.
• Excitement: The electric moment when a rare card is pulled live in front of a crowd.
• Trust: How grading and encapsulation by a professional card grading company can protect the card for the long term.

TalkSport’s coverage highlighted how grading and collecting are no longer niche — they are part of the wider conversation in football. Jake’s presence on air showcased MGC’s role in bringing professionalism, speed, and integrity to the UK grading scene.
