I wish it wasn't just sports related

Least it’s only a few cards so I ain’t going to cost the same as prizm basketball box.

Are we assuming that they are going to include something in these packs that are similar to chases?

I'm excited about this. I've been collecting a lot of sports cards lately. I'm hoping for a Justin Herbert Pop! and a trading card.

Spoiler: show
Panini America, the world’s largest licensed sports and entertainment collectibles company and Funko, Inc. (Nasdaq: FNKO), a leading pop culture consumer products company announced a new Pop! product line, Funko Pop! Trading Card, that will extend across multiple sports later this year. The initial series will feature six NBA players and six NFL players and will hit retail shelves in time for the holiday shopping season.

The introduction of Funko Pop! Trading Card will incorporate Panini’s globally popular Prizm trading card brand for both the NBA and NFL. Similar to the very popular Pop! Albums and Pop! Comic Covers, Pop! Trading Card will feature the Panini Prizm trading card art packaged together in a protective case that can be hung on a wall. The Pop! Vinyl figure will replicate the poses from the player imagery used on the respective Prizm trading cards.

Oh boy! Another line that I will surely get into.

Love this idea, especially with cross merchandise into another collector type market. Hoping for some of my local teams that have either current star/legend players

From my understanding, yes.

It should be similar to the Pop album covers in scale.

Oh! Totally missed this. I thought these would be trading cards

For sure...very interesting but gotta wait to see the final product!

I wonder if it will be anything like the pops that came with cards. Like the ones we’ve had before with Birds Of Pray and Endgame. :-k

I think that would be a safe guess knowing funkos past with chases.

As good as the cereal? I've never had it by the way.

I'm curious what these will look like. Funko getting into cards and NFT at the same time, pretty interesting.

i'm beyond hyped for funko nft's, i really think its going to be huge.

Should be interesting.

I wonder if due to normal rights or license restrictions to the teams, players, mascots, etc. If the trading card option turns out to be a mystery NFT packs. Say similar to NBA Topshot, where you purchase a pack and it could be filled with commons and the lower serial numbers are of value. Just my two cents although I could be completely wrong.

The stale gum like in old topps packs.

Would be cool if they did chases to already made pops. Like Fundays Freddy’s number to their le. Like my avatar is grey Deadpool Freddy le24 so the card would be stamped to /24.

It's common with cards, so I couldn't see why they wouldn't do that for these new ones also.

Postby **rexflexall** » Fri Jun 04, 2021 11:16 am

I hope I can find some of these without giving a liver LOL!

Wonder if panini will be dropping exclusives pop/card on their site? Maybe some L.E’s??

Postby **dtmkyle** » Sun Jun 06, 2021 1:31 am

I am looking forward to this... and hopefully Funko and Panini is prepared for the demand on this

It's like another level of collecting LOL!

Postby **brooklyn_geek** » Thu Jun 10, 2021 1:25 pm

I've been a little out of the loop...Funko NFT's? I'm as forward thinking as the next guy, but the whole NFT thing is a head scratcher to me...the ultimate finesse is in lol

As for the Panini x Funko thing I think the figure will mimic the on card photos of the panini rookie of the players & it's a cool idea to cross pollinate the two fan bases

Postby **2017fanatic** » Mon Jun 14, 2021 9:54 am

Curious to learn more details and see some images. As a fan of both, I’m looking forward to it

Postby **rexflexall** » Wed Jun 16, 2021 11:49 am

Imagine if these included rare chase cards! Aye!

Postby **mikechickenhead** » Wed Jun 16, 2021 12:47 pm

Still hoping for non sports cards too!

Postby **newhousebailey** » Wed Jun 16, 2021 1:23 pm

I don't need anything else to collect! Haha. I am definitely curious to see how this goes and love seeing a diversified portfolio from Funko.

That's an interesting idea. Just wonder how complex will this go, seeing its a collaborative effort.

Postby **Westlos420** » Wed Jun 16, 2021 9:30 pm

I wonder if its only gonna be sports related cards or for all licenses?
