The Short Answer
- Bellingham's two flagship rookies are the 2020-21 Topps Chrome Bundesliga #31 and UCL #68; both are still about $100–$165 in PSA 10.
- The Bundesliga #31 Refractor PSA 10 is about $280–$350; the Green /99 sold for about $890.
- The Merlin Chrome Blue Autograph /75 PSA 10 sold for about $2,000 — the best signed card under $3,000.
- The 2026 Prizm FIFA #9 PSA 10 is about $3,100, the current-product premium card in this guide.
- The bonus Bundesliga #31 Red /10 PSA 10 sold for $19,200; a Stadium Club Chrome SuperFractor reached $37,200.
- Watch the trap: the 2021-22 Topps Chrome Bundesliga card is also #31 but is not a rookie. Check the season before buying.
Why Jude Bellingham Cards Still Matter in 2026
Jude Bellingham is 23, plays for Real Madrid, and has the broadest international collector base of any English footballer since David Beckham. He is a Champions League winner, a Real Madrid centerpiece and an England talisman. By fame alone, his rookie cards should be expensive. They are not. PSA 10 copies of his 2020-21 Topps Chrome rookies still trade around $100–$165, which is remarkable for a player with his profile.
The reason is supply and timing. Bellingham’s rookie year came during the pandemic-era print boom, and Topps Chrome produced a lot of both the Bundesliga #31 and the UCL #68. The market has not yet repriced him like a Messi or Ronaldo, and that lag is the opportunity. The challenge is separating the true rookies from the lookalikes, because the 2021-22 Bundesliga card shares the same #31 number.
Bellingham’s rookie cards come from 2020-21, his first season at Borussia Dortmund. The Bundesliga #31 and the UCL #68 are the two flagships. The Bundesliga card is the more collected of the two; the UCL card is usually a little cheaper because the Champions League print run was larger. Both are Topps Chrome, which means the surface and centering standards are the same as any modern Chrome card.
The 2026 World Cup added another chapter, and Real Madrid’s global brand keeps his cards in front of buyers in every market. But the card market has not fully caught up. The result is a rare thing: a genuine superstar whose base rookies are still affordable. The higher end — Refractors, autographs and low-numbered parallels — is where the market has already repriced.
Jude Bellingham Card Prices at a Glance
The first two rows are the entry point: real rookies, real Chrome, still cheap. The Refractor is the first card with a meaningful premium. The Merlin auto and the 2026 Prizm card are the higher-end plays. If you are new to Bellingham, start with the base rookies and learn the surface before spending more.
| Card | Raw | PSA 9 | PSA 10 | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Prices are USD and reflect recorded eBay, Card Ladder and Fanatics Collect sales from October–November 2026. They are estimates, not appraisals. A different parallel, a qualifier, or a thin market can move a card by 30–50% in either direction.
No. 1 — 2020-21 Topps Chrome UEFA Champions League #68
The UCL #68 is the cheaper of Bellingham’s two flagship rookies and the easiest entry into his market. PSA 10 copies trade around $100–$115, with raw copies at just a few dollars. That is an extraordinary price for a Real Madrid superstar’s Champions League rookie, and it is entirely explained by supply.
The card shows Bellingham in the Dortmund shirt during his first Champions League season. It is not scarce, and the 10 population is deep, but it is liquid and recognizable. If you want a slabbed Bellingham rookie for a collection, this is the lowest-friction way to get one. Do not expect it to behave like a limited parallel.

No. 2 — 2020-21 Topps Chrome Bundesliga #31
The Bundesliga #31 is the more collected of the two base rookies. It shows Bellingham in the Dortmund league shirt, and PSA 10 copies trade around $96–$165. Raw copies are about $5. The card has a slightly stronger collector claim than the UCL version because the Bundesliga set is smaller and the design is more associated with his breakout season.
The trap is the 2021-22 Topps Chrome Bundesliga card, which also carries #31 but is not a rookie. The 2021-22 Blue /150 in PSA 10 sells for around $100, while the 2020-21 rookie in the same grade can sell for $870 in a comparable parallel. Always check the season, not just the card number.

No. 3 — 2020-21 Topps Chrome Bundesliga Refractor #31
The Refractor is the first Bellingham card with a real Chrome premium. PSA 10 copies trade around $280–$350, roughly triple the base 10. The Green /99 parallel sold for about $890, which shows how quickly the ladder escalates once you leave the unnumbered Refractor.
This is the best balance of price and scarcity in the Bellingham market. It is more collectible than the base, still under $400 in PSA 10, and recognizable to any Chrome collector. If you are building a Bellingham set, the Refractor is the natural next step after the base rookie.

No. 4 — 2020-21 Topps Merlin Chrome Blue Autograph /75 #31
The Merlin Chrome Blue Autograph is the best signed Bellingham card under $3,000. A PSA 10 copy sold for about $2,000 at Fanatics Collect in October 2026. The card is numbered to 75, carries an on-card autograph, and comes from the Merlin Chrome set, which has a smaller print run than flagship Chrome.
Autographs change the grading equation. The signature is part of the card’s value, and the grade applies to the card, not the autograph (unless the grader adds an auto grade). Check that the autograph is pack-issued and not aftermarket, and verify the serial number. For a Bellingham collector who wants one premium card, this is the one.

No. 5 — 2026 Panini Prizm FIFA #9
The 2026 Prizm FIFA #9 is the current-product premium card in this guide. PSA 10 copies sold around $3,100, which is a huge jump from the 2020-21 Chrome rookies. The card ties Bellingham to the 2026 World Cup cycle and the England shirt, and the Prizm FIFA base set has a large international buyer pool.
This is the most speculative card here. The product is new, the population is still forming, and the price already assumes a lot. If you want a 2026 World Cup Bellingham card, this is the headline base; if you want value, the 2020-21 Chrome rookies are still the better entry. Do not confuse current-product hype with long-term scarcity.

No. 6 — Bonus: 2020-21 Topps Chrome Bundesliga Red /10 #31
The Red /10 is the grail of Bellingham’s rookie class. A PSA 10 copy sold for $19,200 at Fanatics Collect in October 2026, up from $9,999 in July and $15,600 in August. The card is numbered to 10, which makes it a genuine census item rather than a population play.
The even bigger ceiling is the 2020 Stadium Club Chrome UEFA SuperFractor, which sold for $37,200 in PSA 9 in August 2026. Those are trophy transactions. For most collectors, the Red /10 is a reference point, not a purchase; but if you already own a low-numbered Bellingham rookie, this is the tier that rewards patience and authentication.

How to Grade Jude Bellingham Cards Without Wasting Money
Bellingham is one of the few modern superstars whose base rookies are still cheap enough to grade speculatively. That does not mean every raw card is worth submitting. The base 10s are plentiful, and a PSA 9 often sells for less than the grading fee. The better strategy is to buy the base rookies already graded, then spend the grading budget on Refractors and autographs where the 10 premium is larger.
The other trap is set identification. The 2020-21 and 2021-22 Bundesliga cards share #31, and the 2021-22 card is not a rookie. Check the season on the back, not the front, and compare the design. If a deal looks too good for a Bellingham rookie, it is usually the wrong year or the wrong parallel.
- Confirm the season: 2020-21 is the rookie; 2021-22 #31 is not. Check the back of the card.
- Check the surface: Chrome print lines and scratches are common; inspect under two light angles.
- Centering: 55/45 is the practical PSA 10 target. Off-centre copies are 9s.
- Autographs: confirm pack-issued signatures and serial numbers on numbered cards.
- Base vs parallel: a base 10 at $130 and a Red /10 at $19,200 are different assets; do not mix them in your budget.
- Buy the slab for base cards: at $3–$5 raw, grading fees often exceed the 9 premium.
