Two packs of soccer cards for fifty cents a piece.
I've wanted a pack of these for a while, but after I opened them I realized something- I don't know any of these people. I like soccer on occasion, and watched some of the World Cup but it probably wasn't worth getting these. Though for $1 for two packs, I'm not complaining.
So after I had these in hand I was ready to leave the area, but something caught my eye. I found a 2014 Topps blaster box for $5. It wasn't something I needed, but I figured I would get my money's worth and maybe get a few cards I liked. Here's some of the better cards.
Glad I got the Eric Berry, I might even have it already but good to have an extra. The rest aren't too shabby either, but I don't really collect them. I can put the Tavon Austin in the Rams binder I have for now but doubt I'll keep it too long.
Ok time for some inserts.
Yeah got no use for these. The mini is the only thing I like, but still not a fan. While I still think the Play 60 and the PP&K were terrible inserts, it reminds me I need to look for one of the PP&K cards. One of the contestants was from Columbia, MO and I thought it would be cool to have. I'm not going to rush out and search for it, but I might look for it cheap.
Moving on, what else was in the box.
The last card I pulled out of the box was the Michael Sam card. It is a nice addition, and possibly the only card I keep (besides the Berry card). I like like the Brady in a throwback jersey, but its a little def... (I'm not even sure how I could have finished that). The Power Players card is as useful to me as the advertisement for the fantasy football.
Overall I think I at least got my money back, but not too sure I got much more back. Though after all those DVD's I still came out ahead so its all good.
Thank you for reading and have a great night.
My problem with those World Cup cards is the usual -- way too many parallels for the sake of having parallels.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, I like the English Premier League much more than the World Cup.
Yeah I should have known better, as I've seen the cards all over the internet, but just having them in hand felt like a good idea.
DeleteI'll watch almost any soccer, but mainly I watch MLS. I'm not big on EPL but do like watching the Manchester Derby and some Man City when I can. Not sure why I root for them, but I guess so I can have one team to root for.
City? Maybe it's the sky-blue jerseys?
DeleteI'm a Manchester United fan -- tried not to be, but when I started really paying attention back in 2003, they were so awesome to watch. Still had Beckham at the time too.
