Last Hurrah of Topps Chrome Premier League?

-

 2025-26 Topps Chrome Premier League came out a few months ago and I have to say, it is probably to date my all-time favorite set. The quality of the cards, the big auto checklist, the nice parallels, I liked all of it. I have been jumping into breaks with this stuff for the entirety of those few months and participated in what is probably my final break of the stuff last week. I pretty much ran the gamut of all the releases of the product, from Chrome, to Sapphire, to LogoFractor. You can look back at my posts and see what I came away with overall. I just got the shipment in from my last break, and here are the results. I took Newcastle, Nottingham Forest, and the Manchester City Rookies spot in this case.

Anthony Gordon Superstar Sensations auto /50. This is the only time in all my breaks I hit one of these insert autos. They are case hit autos, so kind of tough to pull. 
Anthony Gordon Aqua /199
Jacob Ramsey gold /50 
Nikola Milenkovic base auto
Anthony Gordon Black Wave /10...Color match is pretty
Reigan Heskey Gold wave /50
Divine Mukasa yellow reafractor /275

1 Anime
1 Helix

Los Angeles Dodgers @ Petco Park 4/10/13

I decided to head downtown to Petco Park for the first time this new season for my first foray into my hobby of collecting autographs in quite some time.  I skipped out on Opening Day due to the fact that all the hoopla associated with the opening of any new season.  I walked to my spot during the bottom of the ninth in what turned out to be a 4-3 Dodger win. I found out from one of the guys waiting (a nice fellow who was visiting from Florida) that the Dodgers were staying in the Omni Hotel, which is actually connected to Petco Park by a bridge that visiting players often use to circumvent the autograph hounds that wait below.  This was a little disheartening at first, until I also found out that most of the dodgers actually walked out at ground level the night before.  All in all there were only about ten or so "graphers" waiting, as opposed to the rumored forty the night before, so the potential for a good get was obviously there. On this night, I was focused ...

Al Kaline-Through the Mail

-
Image
As mentioned on a few of my previous threads, I have recently become interested in the idea of obtaining autographs through the mail.  There is a quite a bit of research involved in deciding which former athletes to send my items to, as I don't want to be spending money or using unsigned items on guys I have little to no chance of receiving anything from.  So far, this has paid off because up until this point I was 4/4 by sending things to Dirk Nowitzki, Ryne Sandberg, Wade Boggs, and Bobby Doerr.  You can read about all of those ventures and what I got signed by looking back on this blog.  Back on the 17th of January, I decided to mail an 8x10 photo to former Major Leaguer and Hall of Famer Al Kaline.  I chose a photo rather than my preferred choice of official baseball since I read on forums that Mr. Kaline won't sign baseballs through the mail.  As such, I found a photo I thought was cool, and sent it to the proper address using the correct channels....

Xabi Alonso and another Bowman Pull

-
Image
 If you recall, I tried a Panini La Liga hobby box about a month ago and while my autos did not hit, the box overall still ended up making its value in back in other cards. I also managed to pull an auto from a retail blaster box but it ended up not being a big name. It got me thinking what some of the bigger throwback names on the autograph checklist might cost on eBay. That lead me to Xabi Alonso, who if you play EAFC, you will know is an icon in the game and what of the best midfielders globally during his era. To top it off, he played for the team I support, Liverpool as well as the biggest team in the world, Real Madrid. He also played internationally for Spain. The auto is one of the Blue Pulsar varieties that pop in person. I would have been happy to pull this from a blaster, but also happy that the card cost only a little more than what an unopened blaster would sell for. Make that make sense.  On an unrelated note, I forgot to mention a couple weeks ago also pulling a...
