In 2013, Panini answered the question: What would the NBA’s top talent look like as comic book characters? That year, the company’s creative director, Brandon Lesley, teamed up with Hungarian illustrator Gyula Nemeth for a new 20-card insert set called Kaboom!. Nemeth illustrated the players in a pop art style, and Panini backed his artwork with eccentric foil patterns and inserted the cards as case hits in the Panini Innovation set.
Kaboom! cards were a smash hit, soon expanding to several other sports and eventually making their way to the football pitch.
In 2025, Kaboom! case hits were one of the primary targets for those opening Panini’s Prizm Club World Cup release. Having evolved from their original hoops release more than a decade ago, parallels are now part of the mix, headlined by 1/1 Green versions. Chelsea's Cole Palmer ranks as one of the top players on the 20-card checklist.
Further elevating this already impressive card is the fact that it has been graded a Gem Mint PSA 10.
The certification number on this card has been checked against the third-party grader's online database and is active as of 03/05/2026.
