@evanalvarez8 I've yet to set eyes on the Dowman kid, but looking forward to checking him out.  Speaking of another teenager, I gambled on a soccer card yesterday.  I bought on ebay a 1/5 RC for Chido Obi.  He's a 16 year old on Manchester United that transfered from the Aresenl Academy.  He's moved up quickly to the 1st team but will struggle to find time on the field this year unless ManU sucks which is within the realm of possibilty.  Either way it's a gamble but will probably have the card graded and hold onto it and see what happens.  I have a Yamal auto card I'm going to have graded as well.  I don't think I'll see that one....should only continue to raise in value.

@eppy99 After you get those graded please send them there! I'm very interested to see! Or better yet, we can create a sports card thread in OTF

@evanalvarez8 I would love a sports card thread of any sport.  I don’t think there’s many soccer cars enthusiasts but I’m sure there’s probably some baseball cars fans.  I actually focus on soccer, basketball and some football.  Just never been a big baseball fan.

@evanalvarez8 I buy online from ebay sellers and occasionally online breakers (don't do this, it's crack for the hobby).  Locally in Indy I always buy from Indy Card Exchange, they're up 69 off the 96th street exit.  The owner, Andy is a good guy.

In the WTF category, I just checked my phone to see ManU is losing to Grimsby City of the 4th division 0-2 in the Carabou Cup.  SMH

Update: ManU gets on the board. 1-2 at the 76th minute.  Game is on Paramount

Boom and just like that a Harry McGuire head ball ties the score.  About 6 minutes of injury time left.

I guess there's no extra time...going straight to PK's

What an incredible shoot out.  ManU loses 12-11 in Pk’s.

That United/Grimsby game was one of the best games I've ever seen. In the first half the Grimsby crowd was UNBELIEVABLE. Cheering like they scored a champions league winning goal for every throw in that Grimsby won. It was one of the most electric things I've ever seen. So happy they won

@evanalvarez8 The elation of the crowd running on the field and celebrating felt like some Hoosiers magic.  Bobby Plump was present.

These are the young prospects/rookies I’m focused on buying cards.  Can’t wait to see them on the pitch.

Max Dowman- 15 year old for Arsenal.  He’s getting some time off the bench.  The team even trusted to play him against Liverpool.  He could be special.  I haven’t seen any cards for him yet, but I’m hoping he’ll be included as a rookie in this years sets.

Estevao - 18 year old for Chelsea.  He was transferred this summer from Palmerias.  Already getting significant time on the field. Being compared to Neymar.  Has a good chance to be a top 5 under 21 player.  Over the weekend I invested in a bunch of his cards.  He doesn’t have an autograph card yet so waiting for some new product to release this month.  Topps has taken over the rights for the EPL from Panini and I think this will be a special year cards wise.’

Rio Ngumoha - Just turned 17 a couple days ago plays for Liverpool.  I didn’t know much about him but after his winning goal against Newcastle I quickly learned everyone else is bullish on him.  I’ve alsready bought a few of his cards.

@eppy99 I've seen a bit of Estevao and he really is something. This new crop of soccer stars has a lot to live up to as the previous generation had Messi and Ronaldo, but this current generation has the potential to reach that height if everything goes right
