Panini has revealed its biggest FIFA World Cup sticker album yet for the 2026 tournament, but completing it could cost collectors more than $2,000.


The new edition features 980 players from all 48 qualified nations, continuing a tradition that dates back to the 1970 World Cup. 


With sticker pack prices steadily increasing over the years, experts estimate that filling the album purely through pack purchases could run into the thousands, especially due to the high likelihood of duplicates as collections grow.


While buying multipacks and trading with other collectors can significantly reduce the total cost, early projections suggest that without swaps, completing the album could exceed $2,500, making it one of the most expensive editions to finish.
