Random Card of the Day

Year: 2013

Set: Panini Road to 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Stickers (Rate)

Card: #34 Sebastian Giovinco


“ Considering how popular this sport is worldwide, you'd think they would get more real cards, instead of just stickers and playing cards. Is card collecting only popular in North America? ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Sebastian made this set which was put out the year before the World Cup. Sadly though he was not chosen for the Azzurri in Brazil. ” -Gunny

“ Decent looking product. Wish the front showed the sticker number as well as the back, but that's a minor gripe. I don't get the blob shapes. Anything wrong with circles for a sport played with a sphere? ” -vrooomed

“ For a World Cup that was hyping multiple colors on TV, Panini went the cheap route and did the back in black and white. Probably saves them a penny per card. ” -NJDevils

“ I wasn't a fan of Puma's kits for the most recent World Cup. The shirts were way too tight. ” -jlaz10

 This card really doesn't have much info.  No position is listed for the player.  No yearly stats on the back, either.

Generally, stickers don't have stats, so that's not a huge surprise. Having a position might be good, but maybe the position is listed in the sticker album??? (My experience is with baseball and hockey for stickers.)

@NJDevils: As funny as that is, I know that's not the case. However, my knowledge of soccer is so limited, I couldn't name another position if I tried.

 I played soccer but they have changed the names of the positions since I played.  We used to have halfbacks, fullbacks, wings and forwards.  Not sure what they are now called.
