Panini (Argentina) - Fútbol 2011 (02) - Paulo Dybala

450 stickers

Is this sticker a genuine Paulo Dybala rookie sticker?
I've only seen this sticker available from U.S. sources, I can't find it available anywhere in Argentina. He is not in the original collection, the numbering of the sticker seems to indicate it comes from an update set, but would they include a player who has only just made his debut for a team playing in Argentina's second division! Usually an update sticker is intended to replace another sticker in the collection and intended to be stuck over the original sticker, but sticker number 236 is actually one half of a Instituto de Córdoba team photo. Wouldn't they have picked a number that features one of the players? There are only six Instituto de Córdoba stickers in the collection, four players and the two that make up the team photo. You can find the checklist here - Panini (Argentina) - Fútbol 2011. Complete albums, empty albums and many stickers can be found in Argentine auctions but none that I can find make any reference to Paulo Dybala.
I would be pleased to hear from anyone who can help clear up this mystery. If it is genuine then those collectors, who have paid out a lot of money adding this item to their collections, would be extremely happy.

X236.  Paulo Dybala (Instituto de Córdoba)
