2018 Panini Prizm World Cup New Era #NE-9 Kylian Mbappé: 885 Graded, and 93 Percent Sit at PSA 9 or 10
The 2018 Panini Prizm World Cup New Era #NE-9 shows Kylian Mbappé in France blue, from the summer he won the World Cup at 19. PSA has graded 885 copies. The most common grade is PSA 9, PSA 10 is close behind, and together they account for 823 of the 885.
The Player
Mbappé was born in Paris on Dec. 20, 1998, and grew up in Bondy. He began his senior career with Monaco in 2015 and won the 2016-17 Ligue 1 title there. In 2017, at 18, he signed with Paris Saint-Germain, and that same year he made his senior debut for France.
The 2018 World Cup in Russia made him a global name. His group-stage goal in a 1-0 win over Peru made him the youngest French goalscorer in World Cup history. In the round of 16 he scored twice and was named man of the match in France's 4-3 win over Argentina. On July 15, he scored in the final as France beat Croatia 4-2, becoming the second teenager, after Pelé, to score in a World Cup final. He finished the tournament with four goals and the FIFA World Cup Best Young Player Award.
Two goals in one World Cup match had also put him beside Pelé, the only teenager to do it before him, in 1958. After the Argentina win he said: "It's flattering to be the second one after Pelé, but let's put things into context – Pelé is in another category."
He has since moved to Real Madrid, in 2024, and now captains France.

Reading the Curve
This curve is stacked at the very top. PSA 9 is the peak with 430 copies, and PSA 10 follows with 393. That puts about 44 percent of all graded copies at Gem Mint 10, and about 93 percent at 9 or better.
The drop after that is steep. PSA 8 holds 48 copies. Below it, the whole rest of the scale holds 14: five at PSA 7, three at PSA 6, five at PSA 5 and a single PSA 4. Nothing has graded lower than 4.
The extras are just as thin. PSA has issued three half grades, all at 8.5. There are no qualified grades and no Authentic slabs. Add the three 8.5s to the 885, and PSA has slabbed 888 copies in all.
