Building on the opening matches of the 2014 World Cup in
Brazil Panini has released an unannounced parallel to their insanely popular
2014 FIFA World Cup Prizm release. The “El Samba” (The Dance) parallel are all
1/1 and use a green and yellow printing pattern that was not used in the Prizm
release. They will also be releasing an autograph El Samba parallel over the
next couple of weeks.
The cards are only available on Panini’s eBay store beginning
with a 99 cent opening bid and each day a new set of 10 cards will be available
for 3-day auctions. The releases will correspond with World Cup games, which
run through July 13th. I would expect players like Neymar, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Arjen Robben and Landon Donovan to demand a premium.
I think this is a pretty cool idea, it has worked well
for Leaf and so far the first couple of rounds are doing well. The only
negative mark in my book is the shipping charges, because Panini is using Fed
Ex Ground they are charging $10.77 on shipping alone., the first couple of days they were actually charging $15 for shipping so I guess it has gotten better. If the shipping wasn't so high I would definitely bid on some of the cards.
