SoCal Autograph Odysses

 I wanted to pick up another big soccer auto, so I recently added soccer legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic to my collection. He was a guy I'd been wanting to add for some time so I was happy to find a price on a relatively low numbered Zlatan than I was happy with. As you can see, the autograph is numbered 11 of 25. You can also probably see that his actual signature leaves a lot to be desired but this is how he signs for everything. 

 It may be getting redundant, but the sheer number of cool cards I'm getting from these Fanatics Live warrants multiple posts. Spoiler alert, this won't be the last one.  The latest additions to my collection came from yet another Liverpool spot in a Topps Chrome EPL break. One thing to keep in mind is that as breakers get their product in, they launch a lot of streams for the product releasing. Once that inventory wears off, there are far fewer breaks to choose from. This also seems to push the spots up in value so I'm starting to glean the best approach is to have money ready to get into many breaks when the product first releases.

Anyhow, my Liverpool spot only hit had three hits, and overall I feel that Liverpool has been relatively a tough spot to hit from. The good news is that my three hits were really n...

 This will be a Liverpool exclusive post because Topps Chrome Premier League came out last week and the set is amazing, so I've been buying some spots in breaks recently. As I'm a Liverpool supporter, most of my spots have been the Liverpool spots. Two of the autographs I hit recently are big enough to where I'm not sure even which one to start with, so I'll go with an autograph that I have never hit in any of my time collecting. The following is a Topps Chrome dual autograph 05/25 of Cody Gakpo and Dirk Kuyt. This autograph is awesome in person and to hit a dual auto in my Liverpool spot in the release day break was exciting. I actually hit four autographs in that break, three of which I'll get to later.  Another absolute nuke I hit actually was from a couple weeks in the last Flagship break I did. Flagship was extremely good to me this year so I bought back-to-back Liverpool spots in the last one I saw run before Chrome EPL came out. I actually ended up hitting th...
