The different types of cards

For those who are new to collecting, there are a few different types of cards to collect. There are base cards, which are just the standard cards with nothing special about them.Then there are parallel cards, which look exactly like the base cards but are a colour, and have a limited quantity made. A parallel will have numbers signifying the total number of cards made and the number of you're card. An example of this is a card being numbered 34/50. Then there are the rarest which are autographs and relics. These cards are generally heavier and thicker than base or parallel cards. There is a good chance autographs and relics won't be found in blaster boxes( I will write about these later)but there is a good chance you will find one in a hobby box( I will write about these later too). I hope that this was helpful to those who are just starting out, as usual make sure to stay tuned for more product analysis, reviews, and much more!!

Soccerstarz

I know this is a sports card blog, where I discuss well... sports cards but today I wanted to change it up. I have discovered soccerstarz which are 2 inch mini soccer figures. They look almost exactly like most of the players that are featured. The players come on a variety of different coloured bases, based on their rarity. The most common is green, but there is also blue, red, white, silver, gold, black,new this year yellow bases, and bronze and orange which are extremely rare( about 0.1 percent of the collection). There are blister packs which are basically packages where you can see which player you are receiving. There are blind bags where you cannot see the player that you're receiving, the player comes on a random coloured base. Finally there are team packs, these are when you have 15-24 players in a pack, generally celebrating a title of some sort. If you are a soccer fan I highly suggest you check them out. As usual be sure to stay tuned for more in depth product analysis,...

How YOU can tell if there is a relic or autograph In a pack

Many people often wonder if there is a relic or autograph in the pack that they are purchasing. There is two specific ways to tell. If you're going through a box and you want to know if a pack has a relic or autograph, feel the thickness of the pack. If one pack feels thicker than the rest, there is a good chance that there is a relic or autograph. If the pack also feels heavier there is also a good chance that there is a relic or autograph. If this was helpful please share it with someone else who you know is a fan of card collecting. Please stay tuned for product analysis, reviews, and more!!

Blaster Box vs Hobby box

When you perchase cards whether it's in store or online all the packs come in boxes, in this post I will tell you the difference between hobby boxes and blaster boxes. The first difference is in the price, hobby boxes tend to be a lot more expensive than blaster boxes, which leads me to the second difference. The second difference Is the amount of cards that you get. Hobby boxes tend to contain more cards and often have relics or autographs inside. Blaster boxes generally contain more base cards and an occasional parallel, while hobby boxes have more parallels and you are a more likely to receive a relic or an autograph. I hope that this was helpful, as usual make sure to stay tuned for more product analysis, reviews, and much more!!
