Thanks, this one is now on my shopping list!

Prices posted are in Brazilian Real currency. The album will have 12 more metals than Copa America 2019 and probably some or all are Holographic.
Release date is 4/24/20 for Brasil but it can be different depending in the country. For some countries with high demand such as Colombia and Peru the release date is probably 2 weeks earlier and USA mid-late May.

Are the albums and the stickers going to have the same price just like Copa America 2019 or Copa America 2015 and 2016?

Example: Album for Copa América 2016 for $2

Sticker Pack for Copa America 2016 for $1

Yes, consumer's prices will remain the same. Panini is increasing the softcover album price to the distributors but I doubt they will pass it to the buyers because the increase is minimal (pennies).

What happened to this album? Aren't the stickers already printed like for the euro 2020 album?

 

[Teo Lahmeyer]

The album was on pre-order on the Panini website until the beginning of March. Because of the COVID-19 crisis, the pre-order has been removed from the website and so far Panini's only information has been postponed until next year.

Thank you for the info!

To be confirmed!

 

[Hoddle01]

Wow. Great news. Is this confirmed?

 

[Hoddle01]

Does anyone have a source for this news?

I know we don't have a date but is the release going to happen?

 

[Teo Lahmeyer]

Well, it seems true although the product catalog for June is not yet available on the Panini Brasil website.

Who posted the images did not mention the source.

I believe it may be true because the Copa America album would probably be ready to be published and with the postponement of the tournament, it would be the chance to use the material.

 

[Ceesmk]

I asked the Brazilian guy who posted firstly but he didn't give the source. That's why I wrote "to be confirmed" and gave the name of my source on my FB page.

 

[Hoddle01]

I did find the source on Facebook. However, the source mentioned that due to the current COVID -19 situation in Brazil, which now appears to be the epi centre of the virus at the moment, the release may or may not happen. After all, if Brazil goes on lockdown, would there be any point selling the product?

 

[Teo Lahmeyer]

Even with the increasing cases of COVID-19 and the high number of deaths, the Brazilian government goes against the grain and forces local governments to ease the lockdown.

It is a worrying situation.

Regarding the new collections, I believe that even with the lockdown, Panini can publish this collection here. Last week we had new collections on the market.

If Panini Brazil applies the same rules as Modena with Euro 2020 Preview, creating online resources for people buying boxes with the complete set, I'm not seeing why they shouldn't sell in Brazil... As long all parties involved are seriously protecting themselves.

 

[Hoddle01]

Hi Teo.

I hope you are staying safe and thanks for the information about Brazil's current situation.

I really hope the virus can be controlled world wide as it has already claimed so many lives.

As for the album, from what you say, it does sound hopeful that it will be released.
