Wow, that was absolutely horrendous 😂, the patch not even associated
@southernsocceridiot1986Ай бұрын
@@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.
@southernsocceridiot1986Ай бұрын
@@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. 🤓
