@@Jdgoede17 I pray that 2025 delivers some "once in a lifetime" opportunities! Let's meet up at The National in Chicago this year! 😎⚽

@@southernsocceridiot1986That’s what I’m talking about!!

@@cloudsey420sufccards Obsidian is a temptress and cruel mistress.......but I love her so!! 😜

@@thesportshobbyshop6876 Thank you for watching, commenting and supporting! 😇

@@machibarrios6689 Happy New Year to you! Good luck in 2025 on your collecting journey! 😎⚽

Thank you I just hit the maestro de Madrid today in a 100 pack box of match attack it’s the backwards one

@machibarrios6689 Very cool. I've always wanted to learn how to play Match Attax. Seems like it could be fun. The cards have come a long way and get more interesting every year 😎⚽

@@BrutalJuice138 The box was about 250 at auction. The CR7 is probably about $300 range and the Nwaneri is going for about $350-400. I sent them both off for grading 🤓💸

@@southernsocceridiot1986 You did well!

@BrutalJuice138 As far as value, it's one of my best boxes ever 🤑.

@ congrats! Way to start a new year!

@@dianagbb Thank you for the compliment and thank you for watching 😀

@@keithnielson7797 Damn, that's brutal!!! 😬😆. But yes, too many injuries while still far too young. I would still love to see him come good one day but he's going to need to take a step down in competition. He'd be perfect playing in France somewhere. It's still a "big league" but much less demanding physically.

What is a good series to start collecting? I’ve been wanting to start but all these different options makes it hard to choose where to start…

@@ITSFRESH2225 I would take some time to consider what you want to collect exactly. Specific players, specific leagues, team sets, full sets of base cards of different sets, certain color parallels from specific releases, etc??? Personally, I like to collect certain players and a few of the big names (Messi, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, etc). Sometimes I will keep a card just because it's a really beautiful card. "Where to start" is a complicated answer. To get going, I would just buy some cards of players that you like and, slowly but surely, you'll begin to figure out what appeals to you & what your goals for the future could be. Whatever you do, good luck and always buy what you like. Don't let someone convince you that you "have to" but or collect something that doesn't necessarily appeal to you. 🤓⚽

@@Brianccards I've pulled a couple "big" cards of his. Now he just needs to take care of his end of the deal & we can BOTH profit from his success 😂

@@WilsonRips Just a sticker auto but the purple etch on that purple Argentina kit looks really stunning in person 🤩🔥⚽

@ gorgeous card! I pulled a Messi redemption from a MLS flagship hobby box that is currently at PSA.

@@WilsonRips Oh baby. I look forward to seeing that card in person sometime!!! 🤩

@@danieltight1926 I think that they just wanted to make sure that such a nice card was well protected. But if a headache to open but it was well preserved so no complaints 😇

@@TLFootballContent Still looking to pull an MLS autograph somehow. Boxes for last year are slowly coming down so hopefully one is in my neR future 🤞

@@keithnielson7797 Thanks! It was certainly just luck but it's a card that I can always cherish and use to build a nice foundation for my collection. 😎

@@danielgaligalis862 Don't tell anyone that I filmed this a while ago. It got lost in my archives. I forgot to put "Old Video Alert" in the description 🤫😂

@southernsocceridiot1986 Now it makes sense lol. Looking forward to your next video :)

@@WilsonRips If you can get one for under $300 then I think it's a decent deal. Good luck on your trip, amigo! Hope to see you at a show again soon. 💪😎👍

@@TurdsMcGurds 💩😜

@@fnf.collects Thank you! Those "White Night" cards are an instant classic. Hopefully, Panini doesn't ruin the design or water down the checklist in the future. 🤞😎

@@NLphotovideo Madrid has several youngsters that are very exciting. I look forward to watching them develop & hopefully become superstars 🤩⚽

@@NLphotovideo You're still the best videographer in the game and I appreciate all the help getting this channel off the ground 💪😎📽️📸

@@bbggggggggg Thank you! I assure you that I was in shock when I got both of them! 🤩

@@Brianccards Another "lost archives" video. Filmed this last year and never got around to editing it 😆

@@TLFootballContent I was VERY pleasantly surprised!! I was super happy about the Pedri, too. (Spoiler alert: I already graded it & sold it but wish that I hadn't 😬). Enzo has been up & down since going to Chelsea but I think he has a lot of potential and talent that will develop in good time. Thanks for watching, amigo. If ever I can focus enough to learn how to edit videos, I hope to produce content as smooth & eye pleasing as yours! Keep up the good work! 💪😎⚽

@@cloudsey420sufccardsNot my best box ever but Obsidian is my favorite set by far! I'm eagerly awaiting the upcoming release! 🤩⚽

@@Brianccards Certainly the best card of the box for a Liverpool fan like myself. Regrettably, I think I sold it to a kid at a card show that I set up at not long ago. 🤔🙄😂 With Jarrod Bowen doing so well, I need to find that card and submit it for grading! 🧐😎

@@Doubledusss790 For the past couple of years, every patch has been "non-associated" junk. Panini has been the worst about this but Topps isn't exactly perfect either, unfortunately. I remember when "player worn" was laughed at and real "match worn" stuff was king. I think most enthusiasts & collectors would be glad to have the undefined "player worn" over a "non-associated" patch that is no better than what you could buy yourself from a retailer. 🤨 Thank you for watching and commenting! 🤓⚽

@@southernsocceridiot1986 I feel let down a lot recently, the big breakers and paid for channels seem to get amazing pulls, whenever a non sponsored guy like yourself pulls a box it is absolute trash like this one. Also non associated patch should not be allowed at all, minimum player worn at the worst. Such a shame to see the hobby go this way, it's always the same, increase in popularity then greed comes in. This happened in the junk wax era of the 80s and 90s also, they mass printed and over produced and ruined the hobby for almost 2 decades, I fear the same thing will happen now.

@@Doubledusss790 Very well put. I still don't know if breakers get "loaded boxes" or if they get the hits more often simply because of the amount of product that they open. I can see an argument for both but yes, it's incredibly rare when a "normal collector" like myself gets a truly huge hit. I will agree that the card companies seem to make sure that the big hits get released/found very early in the product release to generate hype. It's very rare these days that the "chase cards" are left undiscovered for years on end now. In truth, seeing the big hits so early in the release actually makes me far less motivated to buy the product. I'm not simply chasing the biggest 1% of the 1% hits but it would be nice to know that I at least have a chance to find one of them. I actually think that we are already in a junk wax era for soccer. There is far too much product being printed for the amount of people who are actually involved in the hobby. Soccer is unquestionably the most popular sport in the world but soccer card collecting is still a very small corner of the hobby when compared with other major (American) sports. The print runs need to be adjusted down to reflect this fact, in my opinion. 🤓

@@Brianccards I filmef this last year and I think that the cards are still in the box. I didn't even bother to file them away with the rest of my colored & numbered cards. Probably the worst Immaculate box that I've ever had and one of the worst that I've ever seen. Oh well. Onward and upward. Thanks for the support and best wishes to you, too! 💪😎⚽

@@Brianccards He's only 22 and is at Real Betis. I'm holding out hope that he becomes the next Mohammed Salah one day 🤞😁

@@WilsonRips If I were by myself, then I would have bought them all immediately. My wonderful, loving wife was with me and helping me carry some stuff. She never once told me that I couldn't spend money but I didn't want to just go wild. She's the best wife I could ever imagine and her support is priceless. BUT, I do want to buy nice things for her so I'm trying to budget more attentively. 😇🤓

@@southernsocceridiot1986 Understandable! You ripping any sapphire this year? Price seems a bit steep, but the cards, as always, look amazing.

@@WilsonRips I haven't really focused on Chrome or Sapphire this year. The print runs seem absurd. But yes, as you said, Sapphire always looks beautiful. I was hoping to score a box of Topps Dynasty but it looks like boxes are going to be north of $2500. That brings tears to my eyes and also to my wallet 🤯😢

@@southernsocceridiot1986 all the new product prices seem extremely absurd, but most are fun rips, but more so an opportunity to give realistic reviews on what is typically pulled from these boxes.

@@bbggggggggg One of my worst ever 😬

@@cloudsey420sufccardsThank you and the same to you! Good luck on your collecting journey! 😎⚽

@@southernsocceridiot1986 👊 😎

@@WilsonRips I absolutely adore Merlin. It's my favorite Chrome type product. That was just the worst box that I ever opened from Merlin so it was just a bit of a let down. I'm more than certain that I'll be waiting for the next release, too! Thanks for watching, amigo 😎

@@southernsocceridiot1986 nice rip! Keep em coming!
