Hello All

The World Cup may be a distant memory and good riddens to some. Congrats to Spain. Forgot to show some cards I pulled from Panini Adrenalyn XL. Was fun to rip some cheap packs whilst it was on. Any of you picking up any football (Soccer) now, off the back of the WC?

Cheers

Alan

Hello All

As you can see the my England shirt is well worn and still just about fits me. What a match coming up and what a player, Jude Bellingham is. This is pulled from Panini 2026 FIFA Adrenalyn XL - #573. Bought a few packs to rip whilst tournament going on. Have you been enjoying the World Cup? What players have caught your eye? Have you been ripping Football? (Soccer).

Positive comments please. As we all know about FIFA and corruption etc (that plentiful on the internet to find out about).

Want to shine a light on the amazing diversity, culture, humanity, joy on show. The impact is undeniable across the world a precious reach that can be used for so much good. Keep the ripples going and maybe pick up some Jude Bellingham. He is a generational talent. World Class in my opinion.

Come on England.

Cheers Alan

This is just a general shout out to all. If your feeling a bit overwhelmed, flat just generally meh!. Listen to the body. Remember you're not alone. Lean on the things that spark the energy on things for you. Family, friends etc Reach out.

Lean into the hobby too. Get out to a show, local shop, even for a walk about if your not buying or selling. You never know the connections you might make. Keep it simple.

Look after yourselves

Just a congratulations post. Not my team but deserving winners. #274 Topps 2025/26 Basketball. Little did they know that this pic would tell a story of what was to come. What a moment in NBA history. OG born in London. Doing us proud.

I find I like a lot of things. I don't play Magic the Gathering. My older brother did. I always liked the illustrations. It has influenced my collecting a bunch. Always looking for things my eye is drawn too. The styles I like. This card is one. ART by Nicholas Gregory aka @cosmicdaydreamstudio on Instagram. There is so much talent in the industry and I don't think it gets highlighted enough. In another post I am going to share another designer/artist not in MTG that is bringing some fantastic work.

Do you collect artist cards? Any artist/designer recommends I should check out?
