  2. Hi Benoît,

    Thank you very much for your help, I'm sorry it took so long to acknowledge your comment.

  3. I Bianconeri you're missing Giorgio Chiellini as the 7th card

    There are no "Where It Started" cards. Those two are both "What it Takes" cards of Weston when he was young: "Ambition" is young Weston in a Red/Black soccer jersey and "Talent" is young Weston in a green jersey drinking a Gatorade

    As a result "What It Takes" is 14 Weston McKennie cards identified by the following words: Ability, Ambition (young Weston, orange jersey), Belief, Big Game Mentality, Competitive Edge (w/ Messi), Dedication, Development, Energy, Execution, Experience, Love For The Game, Preparation, Talent (young Weston, green jersey drinking Gatorade), and Teamwork (with 4 Juventus teammates)

    "Ascendancy" has: At the Allianz, Barcelona Showcase, Playing With The Best (w/ Cristiano Ronaldo), Scissor Kick, and Signing for Juventus

    The four "B&W" cards are:
    Dark 'Jeep' Jersey, Running
    Dark 'Jeep' Jersey, Stopping
    Smiling at Camera
    White Jersey, Jumping

    The autographs for McKennie are confusing because I have seen several base McKennie cards with autos, so I'm not sure how many different cards have autos.

  4. Hi Pete,

    Thanks for your help. By coincidence I spent some time updating my checklist earlier today, including a list of the McKennie autograph cards I could find. I'll add your additional card decriptions, including the B&W cards.

    Cheers,

    Alan
