You know, I was thinking the exact same thing. With my luck, I will probably get 3 Lalas autos in my case.

I'm sure there's some buzz over there but there's a reason Panini America is releasing this product and not Panini Italy. The big market for cards is over here.

Honestly it'll be huge in Europe. Football is the biggest sport in the world and especially in Europe. With so many fans of the Premier League, La Liga and having big players from both in the set there is no doubt people over here will be interested. A lot of people on the biggest football card forum (most european) can't wait for this set to come out. It's going to be huge

I think Panini Italy would do a poor job at it. Panini America have far more experience in high end products like this and especially with their prizm sets. The largest market for these is Asia in my opinion, it'll definitely be biggest there

[Sushiyoshi]

I want to get a case but scared of having to ship these to outside the US, which I have never done before. Guess I'll just live vicariously through the breaks on here.

[kaushikentucky]

honestly it's not too bad, there's a lot of different international insurances you can use.

[Portlaw]

I've done hundreds of purchases and never had post lost (apart from one instance but the seller sent to Iceland instead of Ireland). Priority International costs about $20 and has signature confirmation (it only cost $10 to get signature confirmation when shipping from Ireland so I don't understand why so expensive in the US). But in my experience never had a real problem. Go buy that case

I think you may be right on both points. I'm surprised Panini didn't bother to include Japanese or South Korean autos in this product. I've seen Nakata's previous Panini autos sell for 1K+.

As far as Panini Italy goes, they're out of their depth when it comes to higher end cards, probably because there's not much of a market in Europe compared to North America and Asia.

For Japan, I could see Shinji Kagawa, Yuto Nagatomo and Keisuke Honda auto's selling quiet well

Missed this during a day of work, dang.

Wasn't there something mentioned earlier about the autos being on card I thought? Must be mistaken as that is obviously not the case.

Also did not think Neymar would sign but looks like he will be in it!

[23bulls2014]

Just spoke to my cousin in Italy they are hanging out to get their hands on this stuff the big cards are going to pull big big dollars I'm in Australia where's the best place to buy a case? Is 7th may still release date ?

[naQa23]

Yeah, Japanese collectors will pay crazy prices for their favorite athletes' autographs and those guys are all at massive European clubs so definitely.

In other news looks like the auto insertion rate is pretty much confirmed as follows:

Autographs will fall one every other box on average, with about six autographs per case.

Now that we know the full checklist and auto odds anyone going to be putting together another group break of this stuff?

[NickM]

The team that really should have had autos here - Ghana. Muntari, Essien, and Boateng would all sell very well.
I'm rooting for Mexico autos to be the opposite of SP, so I can get at least one in Ripkings' break.

[Futbol_Cards]

Panini posted all of the actual auto cards today.

Love them shiny, but wish they aren't stickers... However I will take it!

Waiting for my 2 cases...

Thanks Futbol Cards for posting these wonderful pics!

[Tones]

if only the set had a Fabregas auto, my life would be complete...

[longbomberz]

I just preordered a case. Seems like it'll be a good rip with all the inserts and # prizms and the shot at the huge autos.

England wears Nike now but Topps has a deal with the FA, thus no logos

In Germany as well !!! A lot of the regular NBA/NFL card collectors are going for these Prizm Soccer cards as well. On the forum www.dascardboard.eu are allready about 20 cases ordered....

I have ordered one case and a couple of single boxes different cases as well. Hope to get some great autographs as well !!!!

[mfw13]

Absolutely no excuse for using stickers on a product like this....for shame!!!!

[richo]

Stickers don't bother me, not sure we would have the same line up if you wanted all on card autographs.

Panini have done a great job in my view.
