The rarity of additional figures from the Copa album creates a parallel market; prices exceed R$ 14 thousand

Every World Cup year, cup album fever usually heats up the climate around the world before the competition begins. This year was no different, from the youngest to the most experienced soccer fans who want to complete the album and get special stickers.

New to the Qatar Cup album are additional stickers. Panini, the producer of the book, selected a list of great players and divided them into legends and “Rookies”, as well as four color variants: “base, bronze, silver and gold”.

To give you an idea of ​​the rarity of getting the 20 selected player variations, the collector can find an additional burgundy figure on every 190 pack; bronze for every 317 packages; silver every 950 packs; gold for every 1900 packages.

In this way, a new parallel market for trading figurines appeared on the Internet. Chromes of players from the Brazilian national team, notable players such as Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and additional stickers are sold in the e-commerce for unimaginable values.

One of the places that collectors use to sell figurines is Mercado Livre, an e-commerce network that sells a variety of products. Thinking about this scenario, we have made a list of the highest values ​​that are charged for additional stickers and players of the Brazilian team.

Another point of interest is the most expensive price found in the survey. At first, it was expected that Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo or Neymar would have the most cards, but the figure of the most expensive player did not even come close to the big names of current football.

Among the newbies, North American Giovanni Reyna sells his gold figurines online at a price of R$14,450. That’s right, the chrome exceeds the R$ 12 thousand that is charged for the same version of Neymar.

As the “new market” is temporary and without special criteria, each seller contracts the value and charges the price as he wishes. It’s up to the collector to do their research to get the best deal or to venture into buying small packages. It is worth remembering that each package contains five figurines and costs R$ 4 at Panini-authorized sales points, that is, each chrome costs R$ 0.80.
