2018 Panini FIFA World Cup Russia Sticker Box | 50 Packs | US Edition, Black Backs | Factory Sealed

Russia 2018 gave us a nineteen-year-old Kylian Mbappé tearing through Argentina, Germany out in the group stage, and Croatia in a final nobody had predicted. Panini has produced a sticker collection for every World Cup since 1970, and this is the North American release for that summer.

This is a sealed box: 50 packets, 5 stickers each, 250 stickers in total.

This is the North American edition — 682 stickers, black and grey backs. Panini produced the 2018 collection in two versions with different sticker counts and different numbering. The international edition has 670 stickers and pink backs; in that version the tournament poster stickers are printed into the album instead of being supplied as stickers, which shifts every number after that point by twelve. The two do not mix.

If you are filling the album sold in US stores, this is the correct box. If your album is the international 670 version, you want the pink-backed edition instead.

The collection covers all 32 qualified nations, with roughly 50 foil stickers among the total, each measuring 49 × 65 mm. Mbappé's rookie-year sticker is in here, alongside Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and the squads as they were named in 2018.

The pink-backed international edition is also in our catalog, in a 104-packet display. Earlier World Cups are represented by the 1998 France trading card box and by sticker boxes for Germany 2006 in its Uruguay edition, South Africa 2010, the Road to 2014 collection in its Paraguay edition and Brazil 2014.

The box has never been opened and remains in its factory shrink wrap.
