It took an MVP-clinching interception return in Super Bowl XLVIII, but Seattle Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith finally has his first NFL trading card. It’s part of the special 18-card Super Bowl XLVIII Champions set that Panini America officials began shipping this week to retail and hobby outlets nationwide. In addition to 10 cards honoring key players from the 2013 Seahawks roster, the set includes eight cards featuring telling action photography from Super Bowl XLVIII.
Smith’s game-turning interception return is prominently featured as card No. 11 in the set, followed by equally captivating trading-card tributes to the passionate Seattle fans, the Legion of Boom, and other Super Bowl XLVIII superstars such as Russell Wilson, Percy Harvin, Jermaine Kearse, Marshawn Lynch and the Seahawks’ game-opening safety.
The 18-card set carries a $15 SRP and is on its way to stores now in packaging that features five different cover cards. You can get up close with every card in the special set in the preview gallery that follows.
