The King of Pop is no stranger to trading cards. Prior to 2011 Panini Michael Jackson, the iconic singer was featured on two sets from Topps in the 1980s (one of which was ported up to Canada by O-Pee-Chee). But the industry was much different back then.
Highlighted by a glossy look and some tough memorabilia cards, 2011 Panini Michael Jackson trading cards are a tribute to the entertainer’s life and career.
The full main set has 190 cards. However, it’s broken down into several subsets. With that, much of the second half are short prints. The base set covers the first 112 cards. From there, themed subsets are Achievements (1:3 packs), Decades (1:2), Top Tens (1:3) and Number Ones (1:4). So although a challenge, the full checklist is still doable.
All 190 cards have three parallel versions as well: Gold (1:5), Platinum (1:24) and Diamond (ten copies each).
2011 Panini Michael Jackson trading cards include his first memorabilia cards. These have pieces of Jackson’s wardrobe embedded in them. All of the pieces were worn during television broadcasts.
Rounding out the product are a couple of basic inserts, Charted Albums and Sequins.
