Have a non-numbered card on the way as well. Thanks for this. Wasn’t aware of this card - will need to grab a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 A few new additions to the collection. Collecting MLS players gets expensive as most of the cards are sold from the US, and shipping turns a $3 card into a $20 card real quick. I'm finding collecting European players is actually cheaper... Strait Red, Jedi Ram and dyslexic nam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used one seller for combined shipping, and the overall price was pretty reasonable. Of note, the cards for Miller and Johnston are their rookies since neither have MLS cards yet. sose, PastPros and johnyb 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddoouugg Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) looks like there's a larin and hutchinson "fan favorite" and a david "goal machine" and a shiny david and game changer davies, probably a few more Edited July 22, 2022 by ddoouugg narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Yeah these are cards, not stickers. And since Canada was completely omitted (!) from the Donruss “Road to Qatar” set that came out months ago, these are the only Canadian WC cards that I know of at this point.

I've pre-ordered the official Panini Sticker Book for Qatar and it will release in August. I expect it will contain all the teams. The "Road to the World Cup" feels like a total cash-grab. I'm doing this for nostalgia, not really a collector. One of my fav memories was filling up my Italy '94 book. https://www.krakencollectibles.ca/product/2022-panini-fifa-world-cup-qatar-sticker-album-pre-order-/655?cs=true&cst=custom Quote Each of the 32 teams participating in the tournament will be featured on its own spread of pages, where collectors can place the stickers of the team’s main players. Releases on August 24. Edited July 22, 2022 by kohanz narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just plain cool to have but I also picked up two of each card that’s a rookie in the set (Miller and Johnston) and fully expect that many of the cards I have been grabbing will appreciate in the buildup to 2026. kohanz and narduch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
