8 years ago today, OpTic Gaming finished Top 24 at CoD Champs, their worst Champs placement ever

The defending World Champions entered CWL Champs 2018 with Scump, Crimsix, Octane and Methodz.

From World Champions in 2017 to Top 24 in 2018.

What a rough ending to the WWII season.

The Proud Family Movie premiered 21 years ago today.

August 19, 2005. Penny Proud and the family took us to Legume Island for one last adventure.

It’s crazy that this was 21 years ago. What do you remember most about this movie?

Anyone from Asia up for some sticker trades? 🇲🇾🌏

I’ve got 200+ duplicates and I’m still missing around 100 stickers to complete my album.

Would love to trade with anyone from the Asia region, especially if we can make shipping a little easier.

But I’m also happy to trade with collectors from other parts of the world if you’re up for it!

If you’re interested, drop me a comment or DM me and we can compare lists!

Happy swapping! 🤝

What’s your grading strategy these days?

With grading fees going up, long turnaround times, and so many graded cards on the market now, what’s your grading strategy these days??

On top of that, with everything that’s been happening around PSA recently, price increases, huge backlogs, and the ongoing lawsuits against its parent company, has it changed your opinion on grading at all?  

Or would you rather keep your cards raw unless it’s something really special?

  • Which grading company do you use and why?
  • Has your preferred grading company changed over the years?
  • Do you grade for your PC, resale value, or both?

Picked these up in a trade. Which one would you send for grading? 👀

Just picked these up from a trade and I’m pretty happy with them!

I’m thinking of sending one in for grading, but can’t decide which one has the best potential.

Let’s See Your Best Rainbow Collection! 🌈

Been seeing a lot of sick rainbows lately, so figured I’d start a thread.

Let’s see your best rainbow! Doesn’t matter if it’s complete or still a work in progress. Whether you’ve got a few parallels or managed to hunt down the 1/1, I’d love to see what everyone’s been collecting.

I’m currently trying to complete my Declan Rice 2024–25 Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions rainbow, and it’s definitely been a fun (and sometimes frustrating 😅) chase.

What’s everyone working on? And which parallel has been the hardest one to track down?

Is the Hobby Becoming Oversaturated with Parallels and New Sets?

Just wanted to get everyone’s thoughts on the insane number of parallels that Panini and Topps are producing these days. Do you think this is healthy for the hobby and for collectors?

Topps, especially since acquiring more licenses, seems to be releasing new sets non-stop for almost everything. Do you think this is simply a money grab, and is it hurting the collecting scene by oversaturating the market?

2026 Topps Chrome Premier League Base Card Parallel Checklist (Compiled List)

Hi everyone,

I’ve spent some time compiling a checklist of all the available base card parallels for the 2026 Topps Chrome Premier League set and wanted to share it with the community.

Hopefully this helps anyone who is building the set, tracking their player rainbows, or just trying to understand which parallels are available for each card.

Checklist here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W_Xfuc5yb0Vmd1IK-8o92Hy-mK13FvxS-6Am4hvaQp0/edit?usp=sharing

I’ll try to keep this updated if there are any new parallels or corrections. If you spot anything missing or incorrect, feel free to let me know and I’ll update it.

Happy collecting everyone! ⚽️🔥
