1st day Flawless Soccer released I got into a 1 spot random break & recieved a Thibaut Courtois "Pitch Perfect" Emerald auto 3/5. Was told he is a great goalie & plays for Belguim.
Earlier this week late night I was up late due to local fireworks & happened upon a live breaker on Breakers TV that I have known for some time. They were trying to fill one remaining spot out of 10 to break a Flawless Soccer box/briefcase. I had done very well on previous breaks with the guys & relented & said sure I'll fill it. The break was a draft your hit which had me worried because if it's not a HUGE name I know squat about Soccer. I got extremely lucky & landed 1st spot. My pick was the Harry Kane "STUDS" 5/10 Match-used gear, looks to be a cleat & another part of his shoe. There may have been some auto's or gem cards that were worth more but I thought the "STUDS" card was too cool & rare to pass up.
After the 1st briefcase was opened they gave everyone from the 1st break 1st options for a spot in the 2nd. All but one person went onto the 2nd briefcase so I bought the spot & had 2 in this briefcase. After the draft I had 1st place again, my 2nd spot was 5th. There were some very nice cards shown early & the 3 encased were shown last, the last card up was the Lionel Messi "International Icons" Emerald to /5. needless to say that was my 1st pick. In my 5th spot I took the "Top of the Class" Patch/Auto of Branislav Ivanovic 1/10.
Here's the damage
Last two are in factory sealed cases & will likely stay that way
and another angle
I hope to keep the Messi auto, would love to know what a few years might do to the up or down of the card. I am going to put it on E-Bay for a Stupid price if someone wants it that bad it's thiers.
This will likely be my last ever Soccer break, don't think I'd do better. Thanks for the look sorry for the long read this was a very cool experience & wanted to share.
