I invite Andrew @st_croix_cards on IG into this live discussion about how major trophies in soccer affect the collectibility of the players and teams. As an Arsenal supporter, Andrew has insight into how their first Premier League trophy in 22 year contributes to the collectibility of this team as well as how a Champions League win on Saturday affects the trajectory of Arsenal and PSG players, We will also dive into the upcoming World Cup and how success there may or may not lead to a strong hobby following.
Part two of this two part series I explore how I would use a long term approach rather than short term speculative strategy to collect the "players to watch' in the 2026 World Cup.

Seth (@soccercardcorner) and I revisit our discussion on collecting 2017-18 Topps Chrome UEFA Champions League set. We last discussed the state of our set collecting on Seth's YouTube channel in November 2023 after dozens of red refractors were auction off within a few week span. Recently, the market for 2017 Topps Chrome has shifted again with sales increasing by multiples hitting all time highs. We discuss the validation but also the uncertainty it creates when the price seem to explode overnight and how it changes our mindset in collecting the set going forward.
Travis @harrykanecards joined me this week to discuss why he abandoned collecting prospects and faded the hype in the market to supercollect Harry Kane. Lots of insights and vibes in the discussion of the state of the Harry Kane market and what it can tell us about the soccer card space at large.
I'm joined by Damian @retrosoccercards for a conversation about collecting soccer cards before the explosion of this hobby niche. He has been a dedicated collector of Premier League cards since he first started collected with Topps Premier Gold 2003. The mindset and joy he finds collecting were cultivated in a time before there were big chases. It was about completion and binders preserving his memories and the history of the league in card form. As the landscape began to shift in 2013 with modern parallels, he retained his soul as a set collector and evolved his approach as the soccer card hobby's popularity has blossomed.
Noah ( @Noahcollectssoccer ) joins me for a conversation about what draws him to soccer cards and stickers that some may call oddballs. The rarity and context of these cards can bring extra meaning and nostalgia, especially for soccer fans of the 90s and 00s.
Dan (@dreamcast_cards on IG) and I discuss the draw to jersey numbered cards and how it draws in serious card collectors. We tug on multiple other threads related to serial numbering, post-playing days collecting and what makes a set meaningful going into the future.
