Panini (Brazil) - Campeonato Brasileiro 93 (Abril) (02) - Ronaldo


1993
Campeonato Brasileiro 93
Panini / Abril
Brazil
578 stickers

Is this Ronaldo sticker genuine. I don't have it in my checklist and it looks slightly different to the other stickers on the page - the sticker looks slightly larger and the image is brighter, also, no other club page includes a sticker in that position. On the plus side, there is a biography for Ronaldo in the right hand column, the spacing between the biographies in that column is narrower than elsewhere in the album, indicating that it may have been added later. All the other album pages include a two-player image chasing a ball where the Ronaldo sticker appears, as seen on the Palmeiras page. If the Ronaldo sticker is a fake you would expect to see part of this image in the area around the sticker.
Ronaldo made his debut for Cruzeiro on 25 May, 1993 against Caldense in the Minas Gerais State Championship. He scored his first senior goal on 5 August, 1993 against Belenenses during a short tour to Portugal.
I don't know when this collection was first released - are these images from a second updated version of the album?
These images are taken from a digital version of the album on the Issuu website.
