Reminds me of that line from Pulp Fiction.
"We'd have to be talkin about one charming motherf***in pig"

The napkin which brought Leo Messi to Barcelona is one charming motherf***in napkin...

Happy to see this amazing grail getting pulled at a local card shop by a father and son that are big fans of both players. Two of the greatest soccer players of this generation and the biggest GOAT debate between them.

Who's the GOAT, Messi or Ronaldo?

Really looking forward to getting these graded and up on a shelf somewhere. The Argentina photo is dated 21 May 1986, which is 10 days before the 1986 World Cup kicked off in Mexico. And we all know how that ended! I haven't done any digging (yet) but I am assuming it's from one of the three friendlies they played the month before the tournament began. On the back, it says, "Mexico City - The world's best footballer? Diego Maradona will be the focus of fan attention — and opposing defenders — when he takes the field for Argentina, which is one of the top contenders for the title at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico." The Napoli photo is from the first half of the 1990-91 Season, shortly after Maradona led them to their second Scudetto after helping them win their first in 1987.

Another huge blow to Panini. You have to wonder how the company will survive in North America long-term if it loses all of these licenses. NBA and NFL licenses already set to move to Topps, now EPL.

Is this a good thing for collectors? Bad? What do people think?

Hey Mantel! I got super lucky at a trade night last week and pulled this Erling Haaland Talismen Gold /10 from 2023-24 Prizm. Anybody have any idea of the value? I want to get it graded and would love to sell for the right price! Hit me up! Thanks!
