Man thought he was close but he goal was called off side. Is he Belgium stuff all stickers, I see he has one in a Canadian uniform too. Belgium is all stickers for official stuff. There is an unlicensed “Euroset” card that floats around but I people think it can be too easily knocked off because it isn’t official. Same with the Canada sticker - I have had people warn me about copies. Thus I stick to the Panini stickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok cool, I did not know what that Canada sticker was, I knew the Euro Sport cards are not official. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice. If I ever increase my budget, an AD auto is high on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do only collect a few cards here and there that jump out to me, I did have Phonzie autograph these photos at BMO Field during a few Canada games. Have a photo with the Champions League trophy I am hoping to have him sign next week in Toronto. Strait Red, Ruffian and dyslexic nam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cblake Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Here is another throwback from a different time, Craig Forrest's SPL Pro Set Rookie. He only had a handful of cards during his career but this one was the first. dyslexic nam, Strait Red and Bison44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Found this at a local collectors shop. It's still sealed, and there's a few more cards inside. Debating on opening it or leaving it as is. Cblake, dyslexic nam and nolando 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debating on opening it or leaving it as is. That is a tough one. I would probably open it (and immediately put them in a penny sleeve and toploader). Sealed cards are often worth more but realistically these aren’t worth much - they are more for the cool factor. I have a few so not dissing your cards - just don’t see a lot of benefit leaving them sealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said I would open them and enjoy them as a Canadian soccer supporter. The thought of something like this coming out today, that would be fun, Phonzie, Jonathan, Tajon etc. Maybe some day. ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is the way I'm leaning. The "value" between open and sealed is negligible, and I'm interested to see which other players are inside. Though it's still neat to have a 20 year old sealed pack as well. This might be a case of "saving it for a rainy day" during the off season when I want some Canadian soccer excitement.

It is more of an economic thing because it appreciates I’m a way that these probably won’t, but there is truth to the idea that you can never un-open it.

Cblake Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 After his goal today, Jonathan David could definitely be up for Topps Now card in the next couple days when the next release is put up for sale. Keep your eyes out for it, it would be a his first true rookie card. Ruffian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will respond here since it is more appropriate than the JD thread… Agree about the Match Attax (and you got an auto - damn…) but lost don’t actually consider the Topps Now (on demand) to be real cards either. Some want it to be part of a broadly released set. It can get pretty picky what is and is not a “rookie card”. All I know is that his two Gent stickers are getting graded by me because I see them as top of the pipe when it comes to JD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 There are just some mail days that I love more than others. From his days with Östers IF, I just got two Atiba rookies from 2003 and a 2004 (to go with the one I already had).

I will be getting a few for sure so happy to quarterback it if anyone wants to split costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
