Bryan Mbeumo may not have entered the soccer card hobby carrying the same global hype as some Premier League stars, but from a collector standpoint his 2021–22 licensed rookie season quietly became one of the deepest and most overlooked rookie runs Panini produced during the modern EPL era.

Across all major licensed 2021–22 rookie releases, Mbeumo produced 3,406 serial-numbered rookie cards including 23 separate one-of-one rookie cards. This makes him one of the larger licensed Premier League rookie serial runs of the Panini era — and the depth rewards collectors who do the research.
