Panini - Mexico 70 (10) - Updates


1970
Mexico 70
Panini
42 stickers, 242 cards

56 years ago Panini didn't do updates but these 9 images appeared in magazine reprints of the original Mexico 70 album in the 1990's. These are not stickers and if you see them for sale anywhere steer clear as they are not worth the paper they are printed on. The images of the Brazilian and Italian players are different from the ones created for the World Cup Story album which was issued in 1994.

This collection finally gets a new release date - 14 July, 2026. I must admit I've lost interest. My team start their pre-season friendlies on the weekend, my local team are playing in the UEFA Conference qualifying round tonight. 2025-26 is just a memory now. And it doesn't look like the Uk is getting the Prestige collection, it seems to be a US exclusive!
