My four year old son wants soccer cards. He knows all about all the players. I know nothing. He likes La Liga, and also the English teams, I think (I've definitely heard him talking about teams from English cities), and is following the European thing happening now and is excited about Copa America. I just want to get him a bunch of cards he'll like. What do I buy?
Names he says a lot: Messi, Messi, Mesii, Messi, Messi, Messi, Messi. Suarez, Grisman, Mbappe,
Teams he Mentions a lot: Barca, Real Madrid, Atletico de Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, Paris St. Germain,Valencia, Cadiz, Bilbao, Villareal, Liverpool, Dijon .
I don't know what he plans to do with them, exactly, but when I picture him with soccer cards, I picture two things
A) Constantly showing me and everyone he knows the cards and telling me/whoever about each player and
B) possibly using the cards to "play" soccer. He frequently (FREQUENTLY!) plays soccer games with a building toy...basically a base and a stick for each player. Teams are by stick colour and he sticks numbers on the sticks and then announces the game: "Saurez passes to Messi...foul for number 11...the ball is outside...GOOOAAAALLLLL..Goal for MEESSSSIIII!!!! .It's 1-0 for BarcelOOOOONNNAAA!!.. and here's the replay...etc. etc." The whole time his little stick figures are kicking around a duplo piece (the ball) into little paper nets.* Anyway, I could imagine he might use the cards to kick the balls instead of the little stick people. Maybe.
So these won't really be worshipped like collector items. I don't want to spent an outrageous amount of money. Just get a bunch of cards he'll like. How does one pick "just give me a bunch of soccer cards."
*Note: Yes, I got him a foosball thing for his fourth birthday...he prefers playing "games of the lees" as he calls these stick-figure games, for reasons unknown. |
