2016 Panini Flawless Soccer preview

Last week we brought you the first glimpse of 2016 Panini Flawless Soccer. Now we have more detailed preview of the upcoming high-end soccer release.

2016 Flawless Soccer will come with six autographs per box with every signature being on-card plus two memorabilia cards and two jeweled base cards. Every card in the product is numbered to 20 or less.

Just like previous Flawless release for other sports, base cards in Flawless Soccer will feature a diamond embedded in every card. Parallel versions will include rubies, sapphires, emeralds and larger diamonds. The set will feature the best club teams as well as top National teams from around the globe.

The autograph checklists for Flawless will include some of the biggest names to play the game, including Pele, Mario Gotze, Cristiano Ronaldo, Luis Suarez, Carlos Valderrama, Lionel Messi, Steven Gerrard and Tim Howard. Autograph parallel levels will include Ruby, Gold, Emerald and Black.

As we reported earlier Flawless Soccer will feature a wide variety of relic cards. The most unique of these might be Studs relic cards, which a pair of studs cuts from match-worn cleats. Base versions are numbered out of ten with an one-of-one Black parallel version. Additional relic hits will include swatches from jerseys, shorts, patches and socks as well as pieces of cleats, goalie gloves and shinguards. Tools of the Trade relic cards will have dual and triple relic versions in Flawless.

Dual patch autos feature a pair of jumbo-sized patch pieces. Momentous Autographs provide additional dual relic auto hits.
