Lots of fun! Love the content love the channel! We love collecting cards!

Love the early numbered Futera cards

These are so good! Love learning about other collectors and getting inspiration from their collections! Absolute class! And you are right! Your playing days videos inspired MANY pick ups of cards that are now cornerstones of my PC! I’ve learned so much from your channel and really appreciate your perspective and good taste!!! 👊

Great video again. .love this concept !😊

where do you buy theses cards?

Thanks for shout out mate, much appreciated, this has been a great series to watch, finding new collectors to follow all the time!

1999 Merlin Serie A - Amazing Set & Card.

We love collecting soccer cards!

Print run of 59 is absolutely crazy lol. Surely Topps Now brand operated at a loss that year! Three points to build on what you spoke about: 1. Breakers with the gambling aspect as well as the low cost entry point has really fueled interest and participation in the hobby, for better or for worse. 2. I think the manufacturers and breakers are happy with a high rate of customer churn which in the long run will be damaging. 3. The breadth in the number of sets year on year i find concerning when you also factor in the depth of parallels now and the inflated print runs. Parallels were numbered up to /399 in Topps Chrome this year! Great vid as always, thanks!

Love vtg collection very unique stuff that is tough to find

2 of the best collections in the Hobby.

I have to agree and I’m excited that you noticed how well these cards present them selves. It’s more like artwork. Only top players at the highlight of their careers. Notable players are: Lionel Messi - FC Barcelona, Cristiano Ronaldo - Real Madrid CF, Kylian Mbappé - Paris Saint-Germain, Trent Alexander-Arnold - Liverpool FC, Christian Pulisic - Borussia Dortmund, Philippe Coutinho - Liverpool FC, Mohamed Salah - Liverpool FC, João Moutinho - AS Monaco FC, Marc-André ter Stegen - FC Barcelona, Luka Modric - Real Madrid CF, Dele Alli - Tottenham Hotspur, Neymar Jr. - Paris Saint-Germain, Antoine Griezmann - Club Atlético De Madrid, Harry Kane - Tottenham Hotspur, Luis Suárez - FC Barcelona, Bruno Fernandes - Sporting Club of Portugal, Kevin De Bruyne - Manchester City FC, Koke - Club Atlético De Madrid, Gareth Bale - Real Madrid CF, Robert Lewandowski - FC Bayern München, Paulo Dybala - Juventus, Giorgio Chiellini - Juventus, Diego Costa - Club Atlético De Madrid, Andrés Iniesta - FC Barcelona, N'Golo Kanté - Chelsea FC, Piqué - FC Barcelona, Paul Pogba - Manchester United, Anthony Martial - Manchester United, Thiago Silva - Paris Saint-Germain, Sergio Agüero - Manchester City FC, Manuel Neuer - FC Bayern München, Eden Hazard - Chelsea FC, João Moutinho - AS Monaco FC, Romelu Lukaku - Manchester United, Gabriel Jesus - Manchester City FC and a bunch of others I might have forgotten. These are some seriously Great Great Players of ALL time. The base image variations are extremely difficult to get and I’m surprised they are so inexpensive right now people haven’t caught on. The award winners are top tier players and rare especially parallels. The future stars sets are currently stars and very limited parallels. The lighting Strike set are the best of the best players and very limited parallels. One auto per box. Card Design is the best I have ever seen in my life. Card Value is still the best I have ever seen. Only top, top talent in this small set of only 99 players. What really took me by surprise is how the refractors images jump out or bursts out in a very stylish way. The good thing is there are still some for sale on eBay. Thank you for commenting on these cards. These may be the most classic looking cards with the greatest players I have ever seen. I still see them as the best bargain on any soccer cards today. I have to agree with your review except for pricing. Good catch.

Two superb & raw collections with loads of variety, a breath of fresh air from plastic cases & parallels.

I need a Duncan Edwards rookie I got the best rookie <3

love These fun rips. so enjoyable.

It's sad that there wasnt continuity of Premier Gold during what was arguably his later peak years ~2008-10. Game cards just dont sit right to me 😢 great video as always, thank you!

Thanks heaps for the feature! Loving this series ❤️

I think it benefits from no Sapphire version of the set as well. The pure or true colour parallels only is a really big plus as you say and to me, much more appealing than the "first topps chrome set" point that most people lead with when they talk about this set.

When I started collecting I bought a mix of playing days and new modern cards of my favorite legends. After learning more, seeing the avalanche of modern legends cards and watching your content, I focus much more on playing days cards and have found it much more enjoyable, the hunting and research makes the score much more fun!

You had me at “no PL set apart from Match Attax” lol

Thank you very much for spot lighting my collection. ❤

Are you based in Australia??

I think that exact lampard ended up in my collection😂 it is indeed a really rare piece, never seen one other than the one i bought

How often do you think about that convo in 2017? Thanks for sharing and great to see you got that 2010 auto!

I think when considering rarity though for modern cards, an orange /25 rookie of Garnacho is nice but it isn’t really rare. Garnacho would be in like 10-15 releases on his rookie year , meaning there are actually 250-300 cards of his that are /25 lol.

Something ive learnt from you is the appreciation for "playing days" cards. I always enjoyed seeing the older pre-modern cards in terms of what I would have loved to have collected at the time growing up. With more and more legend cards coming out year-on-year for the same players you can see the effects of oversaturation on modern card prices. I always used to question why people focused on vintage baseball but its a similar case with pre-modern football cards where supply is quite low and even more so with cards in near perfect condition. I think youre ahead of the curve with this philosophy. Im really curious what the state of play will be like for the current market and generation with the same time gap as pre-modern in the future! Great video as always 👍🏻

Always great seeing your collection. I reckon your Lampard collection is easily the biggest in the world.

this is pretty sick. Good effort starting early. I really feel like starting at the current market is tougher in regards to collections as it's more expensive.

Absolutely LOVE the passion and effort you put into this, Damian.

always spectacular

This is a great idea for a youtube series. Never seen anyone else do it, also great collection! Can't beat the old merlin stuff for me, proper childhood right there.

insane collection, and beautifully sorted and catalogued

hi i have 2 beckham rookie melin 98 stickers are they worth anything?

What great luck! Two R9 😍 ive opened one pack of these 2002 wc cards and got Ronaldo also, but unfortunately with edge wear. Badly cut by panini. Great job 👏

Nice pick up! The 96 and 97 sticker albums were my peak childhood collections. Thanks as always for sharing!

nice pick up. They look in great.

Another absolute banger of a video! Zizou is my primary PC, so loved seeing some cards I wasn’t aware of, and added several to my wishlist! The WCCF foil and the futera extra large in particular I gotta find! Just great stuff!!!

My guy finding a card of London Donovan that is worth 800 dollars PSA 10, and he just put as value 5 dollars! London Donovan in US soccer is like Michael Jordan in basketball! That card there ungraded is between 100-400 dollars depending on the condition! It’s a very rare card. The most expensive card is Ronaldo, Donovan, Zidane, Totti, Henry, Roberto Carlos

Great video - I’m personally a sucker for the first four Panini Foot stickers and those early UNFP releases. Not easy to track down in high grade and beautiful old school designs.

Great video Damian! ZZ is TOP.

loving the series mate.

THE WORLD WANTS TO SEE THE ORIGINAL ARCHIVE BEFORE THE RETROSOCCERCARDS REBOOT

🤩🤩🤩 so many cracking Man United cards

Hi, like your style of opening, without those loud and fast "blablabla". And these old 90's epl collections are my passion! Thanks for this video.

Nice pickup mate. Love thr bobby moore .

Another great video. The website didn’t show 2003-04 Mundicromo Las Fichas de la Liga El Crack Ronaldinho #161 which may be my favorite Dinho card overall nor did it have the 2005 futera gold /820 which is my favorite futera card of his. Some really cool highlights in this video and great analysis! Particularly like the PSG WCCF card you call out, I’d never seen that one!

Would say that his Panini Foot 2001-02 sticker should be number two. I need to get the Panini 2002 World Cup sticker. Would be interested to see what a PSA 10 Panini 99 sticker is worth

Great vid as always. Little bit sad how limited his playing days catalogue is!

Way too many sets nowadays. It just went nuts 2020 onwards. Tricky to keep track of all the sets and unessecary

your dedication is unbelievable. Hats off to you mate collecting so many sets. yes i am biased because they chelsea but seriously wow.
