2018 Panini Kaboom keeps with the flashy, comic-inspired designs used in every iteration of the popular cards. However, the approach is totally unique. Rather than inserts included in a variety of releases, each dedicated to a single sport, this time around it’s a standalone product. They’re not inserts. The 2018 Panini Kaboom checklist covers a handful of sports giving it plenty of room for big-name stars and rookies.
2018 Panini Kaboom Checklist Overview
The full 2018 Panini Kaboom checklist has 50 cards with athletes from basketball, football, soccer and baseball. This set marks the first time that football and baseball players appeared on Kaboom cards.
Plenty of huge stars are featured including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Lionel Messi, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and Stephen Curry. Rookies include Josh Allen, Kylian Mbappé, Lamar Jackson and Jayson Tatum.
In addition to base versions, each card has Gold (#’ed/10) and Green (1/1) parallels. This marked the first time that Kaboom cards had chase versions, something that has since carried over in ensuing installments.
In addition to the multi-sport checklist, distribution of 2018 Panini Kaboom cards is different than traditional inserts. Available in two card packs, these were only available through the Panini Points program. Points are typically inserted into packs in place of autographs or memorabilia cards. Each 2018 Kaboom pack cost 2,500 Panini Points.
