It was inevitable, but does Bieber supply the bubble gum or is that simply up to his "music"? The official Justin Bieber trading card set is available at select retail outlets starting this week. The collection features 150 unique cards and 30 stickers, with 500 randomly inserted authentic Justin Bieber autograph cards. To fuel the collectability of the set, four nine-card puzzles can be arranged to create mini Justin Bieber posters.
Special card sets are also available that include 12 Spellbound cards, 18 Downlowd cards and 10 XXOO cards.
The perfect stocking stuffer, Panini's official Justin Bieber collection is available at Bed, Bath & Beyond, F.Y.E., Target, Toys "R" Us, and Walmart stores nationwide, as well as in Justin Bieber's online store http://www.bravadousa.com/justinbieber. The Justin Bieber trading card packs retails for $1.99 and include five cards and one sticker.
When asked about becoming the subject of a nationally collected card and sticker set, Bieber said, "It's awesome; it makes me feel great. I always dreamed of being a hockey player and having my own trading card. I remember collecting hockey cards, so the idea that kids are going to enjoy my cards like I enjoyed my hockey cards is amazing!"
"We are thrilled to add Justin Bieber to our set of entertainment collectibles," said Panini America CEO Mark Warsop." At such a young age, he has become an international superstar, and there's no doubt that there are millions of fans across the world eager to begin collecting his trading card and sticker set."
