Panini Blog The Panini America Quality Control Gallery: 2018 FIFA World Cup™ Prizm (100+ Pics)

Four years ago, Panini America’s FIFA World Cup Prizm brand seemingly came from out of nowhere to become a global collecting phenomenon. For any number of reasons — foremost among them a rare-but-regal checklist of autograph signers and the alluring presence of colorful Prizm parallels — the product resonated on an international stage. And it raised the bar for any soccer product that followed.

Fast forward four years and the scene is set for the highly anticipated encore. This time around, there’s absolutely no chance that FIFA World Cup Prizm will catch anyone by surprise. Indeed, judging by last week’s six-minute sell-out of the limited “1st Off The Line” edition of 2018 FIFA World Cup Prizm, collectors are ready. In the revealing Quality Control Gallery below, you’ll see plenty of reasons why.


Set to arrive in hobby shops across North America (and the world, really) on Friday, each hobby box of 2018 FIFA World Cup Prizm (six cards per pack, 24 packs per box, 12 boxes per case) will deliver 16 Prizm parallels and at least six inserts. Look for special SP inserts such as the stunning National Landmarks, which features custom illustrations for one player from each of the 32 qualified nations.

As for the autograph checklist, well, it’s pretty spectacular once again. We’ll have additional details on specifics later this week but for now, know this: More than 20 of the 32 qualified nations are represented with autographs in 2018 FIFA World Cup Prizm. So are the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Javier Hernandez, Neymar Jr., Robert Lewandowski, Harry Kane and many more.

We’ll have plenty more on 2018 FIFA World Cup Prizm in the coming days right here on The Knight’s Lance. But until then, feast your eyes on these . . .

The product will be available at iCollectPanini.com beginning Friday at 10 a.m. CST.
