Update from our Panini rep:
"What we can say is that the autographs will more than likely fall 5 to 6 per 12-box case" - I like this as it will maintain the rare nature of the World Soccer star autos whilst also delivering a very achievable chase insert!
We still offer an OZCT Pre-Order special of $145 per box, but you MUST pm us soon to reserve as we only have a small number of boxes available at that price!

No Ibrahimovic? I'd love a neymar, the Buffon/Pirlo would be sweet to.
Not sure about that. Earlier 2000's had limited autos, but Futera, Topps and UD products since have had at least one auto or more hit per box.@BoondasH1 most Football products have one auto per 10 cases! 5 per case is a miracle!
This whole prizim colour parallel thing is is just totally ridiculous now. Panini are so out of ideas and all they care about is getting a product out.
Bring back UD!
Disappointing there are no Aussie signers in this one. Did Select tie up their Socceroo signers to exclusive deals perhaps?

@BoondasH1 I understand.
I'm still a believer in autographs being harder to find than one per box. i think it ensures more valuable collections and wish that the NBA had less autos and more patches personally.
I think this product will be the single best World Cup trading card release ever and if I hear anyone say "I wish Upper Deck".... I worked in a store which sold their faff in '94 - please spare me! AWFUL. This set will be 1 million times more collectable and sought after.
