Can’t wait till June is all i have to say!
Can we get a cut signature card?
Man, we would love to have an MJ cut signature card. We’re still trying to make that happen but it likely won’t be in this offering.
A Michael Jackson cut sig card would have been sweet.
Hee-Hee.
This product is going to do VERY well. Any whole artifacts for redemption like original sheet music, etc
Not at this point, but I certainly wouldn’t rule that out of any future release. Great idea, though.
Please tell me there is a card with a piece of one of his gloves.
Man this is the one product I wish I was the brand manager for! I mentioned a lot of these ideas and even tried to pick up some sweet mem like framed platinum records, etc. What a great product to work on!
I think a card of him in his Thriller gear with a parallel/SP version of zombie MJ in the same gear would be awesome.
So sad that we will not have this cards in France…
Cool!
This looks great and its gonna do well.
Seeing that Europe and the rest of the world isnt included unfortunatley, they missed a chance to do extremley great in sales. I really hope that Panini will reconsider their decision.
Would love to have the MJ cards!
Anyone knows where they sell them? Preferably in Europe?
These cards are great!! Wish to find them in Italy too..
“Would love to have the MJ cards! Anyone knows where they sell them? Preferably in Europe?”
Right now, the only place you can order them is http://www.mjjcollectors.com They are expected to sell out as soon as they hit stores in the USA, so if you’re outside of Europe, you will have to buy them online.
^^
that site doubling the price but people know no better so they buying em anyway
3 box for 152 plus 25 dollars shipping gimme a break
Ok first i love the cards. second it sucks that i had to order them on internet. and that Panini America doesn’t ship around the world. Michael Jackson has fans around the world. Thanks for letting us down Panini and the Mj estate. It realy sucks. grtz from Belgium.
How do you tell the Diamond cards verses the Platinum cards? Can you please post a few photos and clarification on this matter.
Thanks,
Doug
From Panini America Brand Manager Carl Braun:
The differences are in the color of the foil:
• Standard – Red
• Gold – Gold
• Platinum – Blue
• Diamond – Silver
From Panini America Brand Manager Carl Braun:
The Platinum and Diamond might be a little hard to distinguish from each other. The Diamonds are really rare – only 10 of each one made.
How can I really tell the difference between the Platinim and Diamond? I have 5 cards that look silver but am not sure, and where can I buy the boxes at a cheap price? Thank you and God Bless;)
Greetings !
I would like to know how many Charted Albums Diamond cards did you produce ?
Many thanks in advance for your answer.
cheers,
