Panini's World Cup in Prizm
Panini released 2018 Prizm World Cup to cover the 32 teams that qualified for that summer's tournament in Russia. It was the company's second World Cup issue in its Prizm line, after a first edition in 2014. The base set runs to 300 cards and includes the game's biggest names, Lionel Messi at #1 among them.
Prizm is built on parallels: the same card printed with different reflective backgrounds. The 2018 World Cup list includes unnumbered Silver, Hyper, Lazer, Mojo, Red Mosaic and several Wave versions, then numbered runs from Blue (/199) down through Camo (/20), Gold (/10) and Gold Power (/5) to a single Black. There is also a Cyrillic text variation, a nod to the host country, and a 25-card New Era insert of young players at their first World Cup, in which Mbappe is the favorite.
This entry is the plain base card, #80, the most widely available version of the Mbappe.
The teenager who won the World Cup
Kylian Mbappe was born December 20, 1998, in Paris and grew up in Bondy. At 17 he scored 15 goals in 29 Ligue 1 matches as Monaco won the 2016-17 French title. In 2017 Paris Saint-Germain signed him on loan with a mandatory purchase clause of 180 million euros, making him the second most expensive player ever at the time, behind his new teammate Neymar. In his first PSG season he scored 13 league goals as the club won Ligue 1.
In Russia he became the youngest French goal scorer in World Cup history with the winner against Peru. In the round of 16 he scored twice against Argentina. In the final on July 15, 2018, at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, he scored France's fourth goal from 25 yards in the 65th minute of a 4-2 win over Croatia, becoming only the second teenager to score in a World Cup final, after Pele in 1958. He finished with four goals and the tournament's Best Young Player award.
His career kept climbing. He scored 33 league goals for PSG in 2018-19, a hat-trick in the 2022 World Cup final that France lost to Argentina on penalties, and moved to Real Madrid on a free transfer in 2024. He captains France and is its all-time leading scorer.
What the card sells for
The base Mbappe is a high-volume card that trades every week. In August to October 2026, PSA 10 copies sold online for between $248.27 and $399.00, while PSA 9s generally sold below $100.
The rare parallels are a different market. A Camo Prizm version, one of 20, graded Gem Mint 10 by another grading service, sold at online auction for $15,100 on September 4, 2022.
Identifying the base card
The base card is numbered 80. The Prizm parallels share the design but add a holographic backing in a named color or pattern, and the scarcer ones carry print runs as low as one. Each parallel is priced as a separate card.
Because so many base copies exist, grade drives price: recent PSA 10 sales ran well above $200, while most PSA 9s sold for less than $100.

Price record
A realized private sale is a completed transaction outside an auction room. The amount is what changed hands on the date shown. Private sales are reported less consistently than auction results, so a single comparable carries less weight than a run of them.
