The Erling Haaland Thread

[Cl1ffHuxtable]

I could be wrong but I think the next two potential increase spots would be if Dortmund advances in Champions League and then if Haaland gets transferred somewhere this summer. He could do something ridiculous on the pitch that would help increase from where we are now but otherwise we have a few chances at further short term growth.

I'm fairly certain it's a foregone conclusion that he's going to get transferred.

Anyone else see this listing where it describes the Haaland sticker production to be out of /500 and then backs it up with an email from panini? Also, please correct me if I'm wrong (seriously), but isn't this the pack pulled sticker? That seems like a very small print run. Any info is appreciated

There is no way these are limited to /500, these were available to buy from panini european sites for less than a euro. So they were never pack pulled. Only the first edition is pack pulled.

Sorry, it looked pack pulled due to the dark gray back. I get them mixed up

I saw that email when someone produced it last year when they were trying to sell some of these, zero chance that is a genuine email from Panini. I've had emails from their various offices, and their English is usually pretty good unlike this one, It reads like a phishing email in style, oddly specific, no way is that a genuine customer service email. They also don't limit stickers like that, they opened the presses for those white mail order ones, some people out there really abused it.

Does anyone put a premium on the 1st vs 2nd and 3rd. If it is dark grey (black) on the back then it's the 3rd print the 1st is obviously grey. I personally have targeted the 1st edition but for now there doesn't seem to be too much of a price difference in the raws across all three

As long as PSA is labeling them all the same, I do not see a big price difference coming in the near future. In addition, a number of soccer collectors are looking to collect all three variations, so the demand for all three will remain high in the short term.

BVB saying for 180mio euro he can leave, so he would be the most expensive transfer after neymar if that happens ...

What I don´t understand, why people paying for a sticker, which have been produced like 50.000 or more thousands of dollar, for me that sticker is wotrh 1euro, like you could buy it at panini for months

Interesting, to me the sticker is the most collectible of his rookie products. I don't get the feeling that it was overly mass produced compared to say a Zion prizm or Soto Topps

People are paying that for the sticker because it has a 22% gem rate and it the as far as I know the only sticker option and there are 3 versions. I can imagine there are thousands sitting at PSA as bulk waiting to be graded though.

If there were just 1-2 cards of Haaland like Sancho or 1 like Felix they would be insanely high but you got what 5 base card options in Finest, Chrome, Chrome Bundesliga, Sapphire and Immaculate and even an Extended Base in the Finest SP.

That's a lot of options of RCs for a soccer player in today's market. Most guys in the past are lucky if they get 2-3 RCs in their rookie season.

Does anyone know if Topps finest came out before Topps bundesliga last year. I googled it but it says Bundesliga was released in April and Finest in July but for some reason I think that was wrong and my fading memory thinks that bundesliga came out after either because of a Covid push back or delay. Was trying to see if the Topps Finest Dortmund SP is his first Dortmund card or is it the bundesliga. Thanks

Finest was July 1 (pushed back from February and then end of May)

Bundesliga was July 15 (pushed back from January and then end of May)

Makes me feel better about my Soccer investments I've made over the past years

I've been watching this 2019/20 Fifa 365 #421 Golden Boot Haaland rookie sticker rise over the last few weeks, could be one to snag while still somewhat cheap IMHO. A month ago $5, now hitting $75ish - There are a few that pop up cheaper if you keep your eyes open.

Geez, Norway getting straight slaughtered by Turkey.

Yep....looking increasingly unlikely that Norway will even make the playoffs for WC 2022.

This was a key fixture for them, since Turkey was their main competition for 2nd place in the group, and they're down 0-3.

Turkey in the driver's seat to win the group now after their home win against the Netherlands...

Turkey have a good team, and have for a couple of years now. They dismantled France twice in the Euro Qualifiers and held Germany.

Norway are garbage. They are the equivalent of a gatekeeper in Boxing or MMA. Decent against cans and micro-nations, but terrible against anyone that can actually kick a ball straight.

Norways last big win was 11 years ago - a 2-1 win over France.

[mfw13]

So is Haaland on his way to becoming the next Ian Rush/George Weah (i.e. great club players who never played in a major international tournament)?

I'm guessing no, since with the expanded Euros and 48-team World Cup, I think Norway will qualify for something somewhere along the line....

Glad someone else is talking about these. I posted about this card ~1 week ago and it fell on deaf ears. Has pretty much 2-3xed since then. Really cool card that has another decently hyped rookie on it and Haaland's first card in the Norway kit.
