The images are much clearer and the card stock quality seems to be a little better than last year. I'm not exactly a fan of the name plate but it isn't awful. I like how the parallel colors are more of a "flood" look with the background being entirely colored in. The color patterns in the past were often obscured by the color & design of the parallels. I'll cross my fingers that SCU (& myself) can pull a monster from the release 🤞😁⚽🔥
Nice enough set. Did you even get 20% value back of what you paid? Another football product propped up by post-playing days legend cards, im convinced we'll look back on this era of card collecting as junk.
I think a lot of us, probably you included, recognize that we are certainly already in a junk wax era for soccer. Our corner of the hobby may be the fastest growing and hold the most potential for growth BUT the print runs are so outlandishly out of balance that it's almost impossible to find much value from any release whether it be high end or the cheapest retail products. The "legends" or "throwback" type cards can be fun on occasion but they definitely filler crap for the most part. 🤓⚽
