Help from soccer card / sticker experts

Can anyone suggest a soccer sticker / card checklist website, assuming that any exist? I'm trying to find out what Arjen Robben's first appearance on a card or sticker would be. I've looked on beckett site but a quick check on ebay shows that he has a number of cards and stickers that beckett does not realize exist.

Help is much appreciated.

    Soccer cards are tough because there are a lot of foreign cards.
    This site is ok.

    Sometimes when I've been trying to find if a particular soccer card exists, I have found it very useful to figure out what approx. year the RC would be from, search for sellers who are advertising the album (complete or not doesn't matter a whole lot) and then message the seller to ask if that player/card is included in the album. This is a good way to learn from foreign sellers, where the focus is often more to fill the album than to collect individual loose stickers.

    Looks like he has a card from 2003 Magic Box All-Stars Dutch Eredivise collection. He might have an earlier on but that's the earliest I could find. The checklist is on that site so there is a good chance psa will grade it.

    Thanks for all the replies. Before I read your comments about this card I noticed it was listed on ebay for $8. I sent the seller a note asking for some more info. I got the answer and then noticed the price of the card was changed to $120.

    Do you have any interest in a very inexpensive one from 2004?

    Thanks for the heads up on that one. I've noticed a few listings like this where people have an entire set of cards in one listing with the ability to choose the card from a drop down menu. The only listings I've seen like this are listed on european versions of ebay. Has anyone ever seen that before? I wonder what they are paying per listing for those.

    thanks again

    It sounds like the seller may read here. If so - seller, I'd like to show you one of my fingers. Unfortunately, you don't get to choose which finger.

    The good news is that the market value is probably much closer to $8 to $120, and one will pop up eventually if you're patient.

    If it helps, Robben is about to turn 31, and should be pointing downward in his career trajectory. That card will "cool off" over the next couple of years.

    I doubt the seller reads here, though it is possible, only because I noticed he is in Ireland and figured this board would be a little more off the radar over there.

    The pull down menu listings are everywhere on the different euro sites of ebay, not sure why it is tough to do in North America. I have found them to be a pretty nice tool if the seller has photos for each item under the pull-down menu. I have a fake beta-test version of one I've been trying to find the time to actually get around to moving further with. If you use the category "Sports Mem, Cards & Fan Shop > Fan Apparel & Souvenirs > Baseball-MLB", you are able to do the multi-item pull-down listing style like the euro ones. Not technically intentionally misplacing items in the wrong category because cards can still be considered souvenirs and they are still under the sports cards main category. My plan was to use this style for something like a set break of vintage commons, in the style of a complete-your-set sort of thing. Just never got around to finishing my template I was working with.
