You would think so...but there has been no rhyme or reason with the baseball set so why would they start now

#25 - Julian Draxler
#26 - Ederson
#27 - Robert Lewandowski

Jbutton11 · 06-27-2019, 02:38 PM

that Ederson card is pretty bad. This set is frustrating. Same teams over and over. looks like this week may drop into the 300's

He’s a funny looking guy and I thought he nailed it!

I'm not sure they could have put together a more unappealing checklist if they threw darts blindfolded at CL roster lists.

Speak for yourself.....only card I've bought since the first week was Pulisic....

WallyG71 · 06-27-2019, 10:45 PM

No print runs listed yet? Between the poor artwork and the lackluster checklist I can't see numbers improving anytime soon. I'm down to only one set a week now.

PR...
#22- 411...New Low
#23- 466

He is funny looking. But, the shading on his left side makes him look like he has a mullet. Great player. Art is still better than Axel Witsel.

Just curious....

Would MLS Living Set get about the same numbers as Champions League is doing? It didn't seem to be much of a difference on the Now cards between the two.

I think a MLS set might actually do better because far more collectors are interested in MLS clubs than in the UCL.

The problem with using the Champions League as the basis for a set is that there aren't really that many active players who have a large enough following (Messi, CR7, maybe Kane, Hazard & DeBruyne) to attract interest from collectors who do not support that player's club.

Retired superstars like Beckham, Zidane, Gullit, Beckenbauer, Cruyff, etc. would sell far better than squad players from current UCL clubs.

I doubt there would be as much interest in MLS. Although it's getting better, the talent level is poor at best. The best players in MLS would struggle to find a roster spot on the top clubs in Europe. Plus, it's tough enough to put together a decent checklist from the best teams in Europe. There just aren't enough players to choose from that would draw interest. You have a few young players who haven't made it to Europe yet and a few aging stars that couldn't cut it over there anymore. I just don't think a MLS living set would work. I'm not even convinced the UCL set will be around in 6 months. Now, a On Demand set of MLS players may work.

Hazard looks good in his Real shirt!
The other two..... Not so Good!!!!

The bigger problem is who the heck is willing to pay $5 for cards of nobodies like Koke and Persic...

The mediocre checklist is killing this product....

psochaps · 07-05-2019, 05:56 PM

A small bump over the previous two weeks...
#25- 462
#26- 463
#27- 510

Jbutton11 · 07-11-2019, 12:54 PM

#31 Thorgan Hazard
#32 Manuel Neuer
#33 Harry Kane

Couple of strong ones this week....
I’d expect Thorgan to be the New Low on PR next week!

Jbutton11 · 07-11-2019, 01:32 PM

I think Harry Kane props up the week and numbers will be around 500. Last week's #'s aren't published yet, but Eden Hazard should keep the numbers up even though the other 2 cards were awful. I think we will avoid a new low even though that Koke card deserves it.

psochaps · 07-13-2019, 12:00 AM

Really surprised that Eden Hazard PR is only 642!
Considering he just moved, great player, and could be his only card. If the set does well overtime that could be a good one.....

PR.
#28- ?
#29- 642
#30- 471

Jbutton11 · 07-13-2019, 09:46 PM

How many Hazard cards did you order? I just did the 3 card set. You should hold onto them for awhile.

Probably too many!.....

It's young'ins week

#34 Casemiro
#35 Julian Brandt
#36 Phil Foden

Interesting week. They keep recycling the same teams over and over. Real, Dortmund and City are all well represented.

It’s kinda crazy really! When you look at some of the players through the years who have been CL greats, and nothing yet.
Was there no discount email this week???
