I really didn’t set out to do this, but I’ve accumulated several very nice German soccer legends cards. Would be open to moving them as a lot if there’s a Germany collector interested!

By now you've probably seen the photo of a young Lionel Messi bathing a baby Lamine Yamal. If you're like me, your first thought was, "There's no way that's real." Even after reading the story behind it, it's still hard to believe. It's absolutely bonkers - even Hollywood would have said it was too far-fetched to have been an idea of theirs. If Yamal goes on to have the career many expect, this could end up being one of the most amazing photos in sports history.

In the meantime, we'll get to watch these two and their respective countries face off in the World Cup Final on Sunday. I'm not just hoping for a great match - I'm also hoping that afterwards these two recreate a modern-day version of this photo on the pitch after the final whistle...

The 2026 World Cup ⚽ is crushing it numbers wise. All-time the best we have ever seen and we still have two weeks left.

Recently got my last PSA value bulk sub returned… proof they’re working through the notorious backlog. Accidental good timing with these returning right in the midst of World Cup action. If anyone’s interested, I’ve got some of them ending on consignment Monday night! Search the cert # on eBay and you’ll find the card.
