Vinicius jr had the sole goal in yesterday's match of Real Madrid vs Benifica. It was a very nice goal. The match was then turned upside down with a bunch of stoppage for alleged racism and fans throwing things on the field. It was a mess. Real Madrid moves on and Vini has a nice highlight. I don't have a whole lot of Vini but he is still world class. I do see him a touch slower than a few years ago but maybe that's just my eyes.
Here is my best Pedri card. I believe he is the best midfielder in the world when fully fit. I love the two color game used patch with an auto. Pedri is so good at controlling the game and knowing when to push and when to brake. He is also so creative when he decides to attack. I don't think it's crazy to call him the best in the world period when healthy. Ready for him to get back on the pitch this month. Spain is also the favorite to win the world cup. And to top it off, he is 23 and still has room to improve.
I rescently purchased this 2019 sapphire Christian Pulisic /99 and unfortunately I didn't investigate as I should have. The picture of the card used for the sale was flawless and the condition was labeled as excellent as many are. I know excellent can have some issues. The description even said that there was a print line on the front of the card. I think the description actually made me trust the listing too much. The image was very clear and bright and a close up and couldn't see any issues at all. The first images is the card as listed and the last image is me opening the card. Unfortunately it's alot more than I was expecting. I should have asked for photos or asked questions. Live and learn. Not putting this on the seller at all.
The pedri is jersey number /10. Happy to find a great selection today and a dealer who was very reasonable. I'm starting to build up quite the piles of base chrome cards of guys like haaland and Bellingham and pulisic that I will have to sell at some point to make room for the new stuff.
