I did read an article back in 2021 that panini lost the world cup rights by FIFA to topps. They had an exclusive windows to renew the contract and they declined it due to exorbitant fees. Similar to EA losing the rights to FIFA video games. Kinda sucks. I think Panini makes better sticker albums than Topps. Topps makes better cards though. Edit: can't Find any sources saying Panini lost FIFA. Most articles are about them losing UEFA Edited November 28, 2023 by narduch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 The new Topps MLS just came out. Checklist here. There are a bunch of Canadian players although it seems like less than previous years. https://www.cardboardconnection.com/2023-topps-mls-major-league-soccer-cards Hilariously, Messi is card #201. So basically they tacked him on at the end (traditionally its a 200 card set). dyslexic nam and NVsoccer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted December 1, 2023 Author Share Posted December 1, 2023 Good stuff. That is funny about Messi. It is crazy how far behind they are since this is for the season that is now done and in the latter stages of playoffs. It looks like Akinola is in a TFC shirt, so... narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a bunch of players that were traded but are in their original team. Looks like they had this ready for the usual June release and just held it back for months to add Messi dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I was legitimately wondering if they'd reached the point of just scrapping the 2023 season and rolling out 2024 in a much more timely manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 See, @dyslexic nam, the key is not to just buy any random 1/1, but to buy bigger cards that you actually want. For a fraction of the overpriced Tajon Buchanan 1/1 card, I'd rather get this beauty. narduch, dyslexic nam and Jedi Ram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, I am a bargain hunter so will have to try to find the hidden gems. But the hunt is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Just picked up this as well. Loving the colour match of the cards. doobs_13, Jedi Ram and dyslexic nam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I am quickly remembering why buying boxes is a shit strategy when it comes to hunting specific cards. I have bought into a couple of breaks for JRR and so far have come up pretty empty-handed. Meanwhile, for the same money, I bought a/50 auto. But I guess part of the excitement is the lottery of hitting a really big card, so I’m sure I will continue to get suckered in.

That's part of the fun for me. Might try to sell the more valuable ones that aren't Canadian players on Ebay. But I didn't get anything really good. I'm also happy I didn't have to pay Ebay prices for the boxes Edited December 8, 2023 by narduch dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
