One of the many things that makes Panini America’s 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ Prizm trading card set so intriguing (aside from a global collector base and an unparalleled autograph checklist) is the fact that the set introduces several new color schemes and printing technologies to the vaunted Prizm parallel roster — and we’ve shared glimpses of most of them with you right here on The Knight’s Lance.
But no matter how spectacular these new additions look (and trust us, they are spectacular), it’s likely that the Prizm parallels that resonate the most with the world’s soccer collectors are the same ones that have been driving Panini America’s other Prizm sets in baseball, basketball, football and hockey for years: The Golds and Finite Blacks.
There’s just something about the way a Gold Prizm glistens or a Finite Black Prizm sparkles that enchants collectors from the get-go. As has become custom in other Prizm products, Panini America product developers numbered the Golds to 10 and the Finite Blacks to only one in 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ Prizm. The sublime results will generate some of the most-coveted and most-valuable single cards in the entire product.
In honor of that fact, we provide a must-see gallery below that provides an exhaustive examination of several key inserts — including Guardians, Net Finders, Aerial Assault and more — in their pristine Gold and Black greatness.
Enjoy the scenery and stay tuned to The Knight’s Lance for continued coverage.
