The Hunt is On: The Hobby’s First Scavenger Hunt Comes to Parsippany!

Attention all collectors! This April, the All Soccer Cards and Collectibles Show is bringing something never-before-seen to the hobby.

On Friday, April 3 and Saturday, April 4, the Parsippany PAL will transform into a hunting ground for the world’s elite talent. We aren't just trading and buying; we are launching the official Soccer Card Scavenger Hunt. This contest is designed to celebrate the backbone of our collections: the base card. While high-end patches and autos often steal the spotlight, this event reinforces the importance of the cards that start it all, giving vendors the chance to move their inventory and potentially see "buyback" style premiums — much like the successful programs seen from Topps.

How to Play: The FIFA Best 11 Quest

To win, collectors must navigate the show floor and hunt down base cards for each member of the 2025 FIFA FIFPRO Men’s World 11.

The Target List:
GK: Gianluigi Donnarumma
DEF: Achraf Hakimi
DEF: Willian Pacho
DEF: Virgil van Dijk
DEF: Nuno Mendes
MID: Jude Bellingham
MID: Pedri
MID: Vitinha
MID: Cole Palmer
FWD: Ousmane Dembélé
FWD: Lamine Yamal

The Golden Rule: To keep the competition fair and spread the love across the room, you cannot get more than two cards from a single vendor. If you turn in a set with three or more cards from one source, you will be disqualified!

The Prize: Legendary Rookie Packs
We aren’t just giving away "junk wax." The four winners will be crowned as they finish, with the contest running from Friday morning until the final prize is claimed on Saturday. These winners will receive exclusive rookie packs featuring some of the greatest to ever play the game:

Lionel Messi: 2004-2005 Panini MEGACRACKS Barca Campeon (#35, #62 & #89 Rookies)
Cristiano Ronaldo: 2002-2003 Panini Portugal Futebol Sticker (#306 Rookie)
Erling Haaland: 2019 Panini Fussball Sticker (#32 Rookie)
Kylian Mbappe: 2016 Panini Foot Sticker (#505 Rookie)

Note: Vendors are ineligible to participate in the hunt—this one is strictly for the collectors!
