The 2022-23 Premier League is nearing its conclusion. But for whatever reason, Panini has only released its flagship EPL release with a few games left in the schedule.
Still, Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer is one of the foundational releases for soccer collectors. So, many collectors will be excited to get their hands on these boxes. But how does this release stack up against previous years?

As mentioned, the 2022-23 Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer boxes are dropping late this year with a release date of March 24, 2023. Last year, there were also delays, so the hobby boxes saw the light of day on March 8, 2022. But, the further delay may have resulted from Panini’s focus on its World Cup releases late last year.
Meanwhile, the hybrid versions will be available on April 12, 2023. The Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer usually has a reasonably robust retail selection as well.
We don’t have that date yet, but it should be in late April or early May. Last year, we saw cereal boxes, mega boxes, and blasters in retail outlets.

The first edition of Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer was released for the 2018-19 season. Why it took the soccer card and sticker giant until 2019 to obtain the rights to the best soccer league in the world is an open question.
But they finally got around to it before the league’s popularity in the United States exploded during the COVID pandemic, and they will be glad to have done so. In 2021, Panini and the EPL renewed their partnership for an undisclosed number of years. Panini UK announced, “We are proud to be awarded the most prestigious license in the UK, and we relish the prospect of continuing to grow the market in the coming years.”
The first edition was a big hit. It’s unsurprising, considering it contained some of Panini’s heaviest-hitting inserts. In addition, it had a good offering of Kaboom! cards, as well as Color Blasts and other high-shelf inserts.
Since then, Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer’s annual release has been the calendar’s highlight for English soccer collectors. Of course, other brands have dropped occasionally, like Premier League Score and Select. But they are no match for the big kahuna in this genre.

Prizm cards are always desirable; therefore, the best and wax in this release holds value very well. In addition, it brings the prestige of the most trusted and beloved line in major American sports, soccer.
The checklist is very comprehensive and up-to-date. In almost all cases, they include each team’s leading stars and key bench and rotation players.
Panini definitely shows more familiarity with the game as the years go by after some questionable decisions in the first couple of years of releases. We are also glad to see a robust selection of Color Blast cards in this product’s 2022-23 release.

One of the weakest elements in this release, and other Prizm boxes, are the almost exclusive use of sticker autos. Like most collectors, I am not a fan of these in general.
But something about how the classic Prizm borders offset those stickers looks positively tacky to me. I would much rather have an on-card auto or a sticker that clashes less with the rest of the design. And I suspect I am not alone.
It’s also disappointing to see that Panini no longer has Kaboom! inserts. The last time they included those babies was in 2020-21. Therefore, we can see a deliberate downgrading of the card on the part of Panini.
Not a good look for them. Hopefully, we will see them focus more attention on the Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer release when the company loses its rights to the NFL and NBA.
I said that Panini is showing more understanding of the game in the pros section, and generally, they are. It’s no longer amateur hour over there. However, they are still making the occasional mistake which can upset the hardcore fans. For example, Japanese sensation Kaoru Mitoma doesn’t have a base rookie card in the set, despite the fact that he has been absolutely essential in Brighton & Hove Albion’s shockingly good season.
Other complaints are less serious. But still, we are almost at the end of the season. And probably the best long-term potential rookie they missed is Degnand Wilfried Gnonto, the gifted Italian winger currently catching for Leeds United.
What excuse does Panini have for not updating headline transfers like the move of Leandro Trossard from Brighton to Arsenal? He still appears in his old kit on his 2022-23 Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer card.
Worse, they haven’t included Liverpool’s Dutch star Cody Gakpo, though we have known about his transfer from multimillion transfer from PSV for months. So, they don’t get full points in our 2022-23 Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer review.
The checklist consists of 300 base cards. They also cover most of the critical starters in the league and some key bench players. Panini Prizm Premier League is not a cheap product.
But it is still a relatively set completist-friendly release. As someone who has completed all the previous sets, I can say it wasn’t all that difficult or taxing in terms of expense.

Each base card has the following parallels:
Prizms Parallels
Breakaway Prizms Parallels
Choice Prizms Parallels
As mentioned, this product no longer has Kaboom! inserts. But what do they feature? Here is an overview of the most important inserts.

Prizm Parallels:
These 40 cards insert series includes some of the most creative players in the league. And it celebrates their explosiveness by placing them with evocative fireworks in the background. Sometimes, the selection of players seems a bit arbitrary, but it does include many players with strong dribbling skills, like Allan Saint-Maximin and Jadon Sancho. These are attractive inserts, without a doubt. But, unfortunately, they are not worth much.
Prizm Parallels:
The purpose of this insert is unclear. I suppose these are players that can impact the game in an instant. Sure. But how is that different from, say, the Fireworks insert players? Indeed, the checklist is quite similar
. Unfortunately, the design has nothing to recommend it either. And not surprisingly, these cards are worth very little as a result. Even their low-numbered varieties sell for under $100. However, American collectors will be happy to see Christian Pulisic in this series.
An insert using cliched late 60s and early 70s design aesthetics. And combining that kind of old-school chic with modern players in EPL uniforms with advertisers on them can be jarring. So the 25-card set is unlikely to set many hearts a flutter.
The cards look exactly as you would expect a series named after a kaleidoscope to look. So, very little imagination here. It’s a new insert, so we don’t know what kind of value to expect from this 30-card series. But I dare say it won’t break the bank.
With Kaboom! gone, the Color Blast inserts are the big guys in this release. These cards have always been stunning, and the 2022-23 Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer mockups hold up that tradition admirably.
However, remember that while these cards do well on the market, the Premier League versions generally do not do as well as the NBA and NFL versions. Most often, they go for hundreds rather than thousands. However, adding Erling Haaland to the mix should help with that.
Speaking about the checklist, who is on it? This year it includes the following 25 players:
1 Bukayo Saka – Arsenal
2 Mohamed Salah – Liverpool FC
3 Heung-Min Son – Tottenham Hotspur
4 Erling Haaland – Manchester City
5 Virgil van Dijk – Liverpool FC
6 Anthony Elanga – Manchester United
7 Raheem Sterling – Chelsea FC
8 Martin Odegaard – Arsenal
9 Darwin Nunez – Liverpool FC
10 Harry Kane – Tottenham Hotspur
11 Phil Foden – Manchester City
12 Conor Gallagher – Chelsea FC
13 Michael Olise – Crystal Palace
14 Dean Henderson – Nottingham Forest FC
15 Reece James – Chelsea FC
16 Marcus Rashford – Manchester United
17 Kevin De Bruyne – Manchester City
18 Joe Gelhardt – Leeds United
19 Mason Mount – Chelsea FC
20 Richarlison – Tottenham Hotspur
21 Jamie Vardy – Leicester City
22 Trent Alexander-Arnold – Liverpool FC
23 Julian Alvarez – Manchester City
24 David Beckham – Manchester United
25 Thierry Henry – Arsenal
Getting a box of Prizm Premier League Soccer isn’t cheap. The hobby boxes start at $300. But there is some concern about investing heavily in the product because the top hits don’t have the same value as the more prominent Prizm brands.
So, is buying 2022-23 Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer boxes worth the expense? Let’s crunch the numbers and see.

Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer has already been on the market for a few years. So, we can already glean some insights from previous years. The two most popular formats are the hobby box and the mega box releases. So, we will examine those.
Let’s look at hobby boxes first:
| Release | Value |
|---|---|
| 2019-20 Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer Hobby Box | $550 |
| 2020-21 Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer Hobby Box | $260 |
| 2021-22 Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer Hobby Box | $150 |
The first-year hobby boxes hold up nicely. However, that is at least partially because the print run was smaller. The league was far less prevalent in the US at the time. The rookie class isn’t making a particularly significant difference. After all, there has yet to be a bank-breaking rookie from this series.
What about mega boxes:
| Release | Value |
|---|---|
| 2020-21 Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer Mega Box | $50 |
| 2021-22 Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer Mega Box | $39 |
Despite their good value in terms of promised hits, the mega boxes are not gaining importance. At least yet. They seem somewhat undervalued to me, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there was upwards movement. Having said that, the trend is clear; Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer does not hold substantial value as wax.
If Panini Prizm Premier League is not a great hold, how does it fare as a rip? Only one way to find out. We looked at some of these releases’ more significant recent sales and what they went for.
| Release | Value |
|---|---|
| 2021-22 Panini Prizm Premier League Cristiano Ronaldo Color Blast (PSA 10) | $4,085 |
| 2020-21 Panini Prizm Premier League Marcus Rashford Auto /10 (PSA 9) | $2,000 |
| 2020-21 Panini Prizm Premier League Heung Min-Son Fireworks Black Prizm 1/1 | $1,577 |
| 2021-22 Panini Prizm Premier League Gabriel Martinelli Cracked Ice /49 (PSA 10) | $800 |
We don’t see too many massive single cards from this release. But a healthy number of cards is worth significantly more than the boxes. It’s also worth noting that a lot of the younger players in these boxes haven’t made a name for themselves yet, at least not in collector terms. But they will. So, there is definitely an upside to ripping.
Looking at the Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer product numbers, it is clear that some of the early sheens have fallen off. The value of wax, in particular, has gone down after some impressive highs in the past. Some of that is the general normalization of the market. Another part is that no massive rookies have emerged from the product yet. And it hasn’t helped that there is no Kabbom! inserts here anymore.
However, the fundamentals for Panini Prizm Premier League Soccer are strong. The league is growing in reach and popularity. Prizm is a beloved line with some great-looking cards. And as anyone who watched this league knows, the company has an immense wealth of talent. So, ripping and holding is a better option than the current numbers suggest.
