Welcome to another season of Badge County - Series 2023-24 is officially upon us and later today we'll all be ripping into the first packs of the season.

This drop is the masterclass of Series 4 and might just be one of the best drops we've ever seen. Thanks for dropping in to the County

The Series 1 Trade Ticket drop was a slam dunk, and for now, it seems the collectors that ripped S1 want to collect S1. Today we're gonna see if we had any pack luck, plus go through the new Badge County blog in which we imagine a world where the 77 Series 1 Base Set Bubble Moments are instead the most unique and coveted Non-Base Common Set on the platform.Thanks for dropping into the County
