Everyone knows about Panini sports card collections and how valuable these can be. But there are also some pretty awesome non-sport Panini card collections.
Some serious money is involved in trading Panini sports card collections. In the recent past, some cards sold for millions of dollars. Not everyone is into sports, and Panini knows this. Each year, the popular card collection company releases new collections that have nothing to do with sports. It’s unlikely that you’ll end up owning a card worth millions of dollars in the future, but you can have a lot of fun with these collections.
From Disney to Warhammer 40,000, the variety of card collections ensures a fun collection for almost everyone. This article introduces you to seven of the best non-sport Panini card collections.

1. Jurassic World Panini Cards
The Jurassic World Panini card collection gets new additions every year. In 2023, the Jurassic World 30th anniversary collector’s card collection is an interesting addition that might increase in value over the years. This new set includes a mix of embossed cards, foil cards, holographic cards, glow-in-the-dark cards, limited edition cards and some extra rare cards.
2. Warhammer 40,000 Panini Cards
Many gamers love Warhammer 40,000, and it’s no surprise that mainly gamers collect these cards. The franchise is about to become even more popular because of Henry Cavill’s involvement in creating an Amazon Studios live-action series. Unless the Amazon series turns into a hot mess, you can expect more Warhammer 40,000 fans and rare limited edition cards from the Warhammer 40,000 collections to rise in value.
3. Harry Potter Panini Cards
There have been a variety of Panini card collections for the Harry Potter movie series. Each movie had its sticker album and trading cards. As of June 2023, fans can still get their hands on the limited edition anniversary trading card boxes for “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”. Only 480 of these were produced. Surprisingly, the limited edition sets didn’t sell out as quickly as you’d expect from such a popular franchise. It’s unlikely that you can make a fortune with these. Rare Harry Potter cards often sell for as little as $5 per card.

4. Stranger Things Panini Cards
Each season of the Netflix hit series Stranger Things has its own Panini album. There aren’t any special cards fans can collect, and it’s unlikely that the ordinary stickers will rise in value much, but it is a fun collection for fans of the series. Fans don’t have to worry about accidentally glueing a valuable limited edition card into their album, as this collection has no limited editions.
5. Marvel Panini Cards
There is a variety of Marvel Panini card collections and sticker albums. The most notable ones are Spiderman’s 60th anniversary, Marvel Versus, and 80 years of Marvel. While there are limited edition cards in these and other Marvel Panini card sets, they can’t be compared to the limited editions of sports cards. They are worth holding on to but don’t expect to sell them for a million dollars.
6. Minecraft Panini Cards
Minecraft took the world by storm when it was released and is still going strong. The community loves its game and what you can do with it. Minecraft trading cards and the pocket tin you can store them in are pretty cool, too. There are some rare cards in the Minecraft Panini card collection: Collectors can only find gold cards in every 18th card pack and silver cards in every 9th pack, so they need some luck to collect them all.
7. Disney Panini Cards
There is an ever-changing number of Disney Panini card collections. Every time a popular Disney movie is released, or there’s an important anniversary, you can be sure a new set is coming. In 2023, the most popular Disney Panini card collections are Frozen II, Encanto, Onward, and Pixar Fest. These collections are mainly aimed at a younger target group, so no cards are more valuable than others.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where Can I Find Missing Cards for My Panini Album?
If you’re looking for missing cards from recent collections, you can usually order them directly from Panini. If the collection is already a little older, you can try your luck with eBay, trading groups, or card-swapping websites.
Should I Put All Cards into My Panini Album?
Putting ordinary sticker cards into your Panini album is safe, but you should keep your eyes open for special and rare cards. They can easily be recognised by having a different look, better quality, or a limited edition number printed on them. Example: If you find a 1 of 1 limited edition silver foil card, keeping it safe is best.
How Do I Know Whether One of My Cards Could Become Valuable?
The same rule applies for non-sport Panini cards as for the sports collections: Rare cards of popular characters are likely to increase in value. Sometimes, this doesn’t take many years. Example: Rare cards from the Harry Potter limited edition anniversary card collection are more likely to go up in value than regular Harry Potter Panini cards.
