Panini World Cup football stickers

[swee'pea99]

As 7 year olds we didn't have Panini stickers and had to make do with boring Mars Attacks gum cards

That's gross. They really shouldn't sell stuff like that to kids. What's wrong with Batman cards?

I only ever got the full team of Notts forest.

Not worth all the lunch money!

Even the real team's not worth lunch money!

On yeah, I've also got a full set of Ogden's Football Cards from 1908 when a chap played rough but fair and knew how to sport a proper moustache!

There's a dude I work with who is pushing 50 and has created a spreadsheet to monitor the progress of his collection.

I slag him off about it, pointing out that he's a grown man and his kids think he's a freak, but secretly I think his lack of farks given is pretty awesome.

I suspect his attitude stems from being the only white dude in the world called Carlton.

I still collect football stickers, mostly 70s and 80s stuff but also Euro and WC albums, amd not just Panini. And Topps football cards from the 70s

I have just purchased a Panini Argentina 78 album via Mr ebay.

I have been searching for a few years to get one of decent quality/price and tonight I was píssed enough to get the winning bid

As a lad I collected panini stickers and at my mums house there are still the well thumbed books with 2-3 stickers missing to complete the whole album.
There was a form in the Back where you could send away for the missing stickers but my parents never played along for some reason.

Come Korea Japan 2002, Thomas was 7 years old. I'm not sure if it was his album or mine.... But it's complete! The 33 yo little kid was over the moon!

I remember collecting, never finished an album to completion though, probably always 4 or 5 stickers short. I remember the "Europa 80" album as my favourite, as a 10 year old I was seduced by it's exoticness and mystery of far away countries which I'd barely heard of. I notice that a complete Europa 80 album can go for £200-£300 on ebay! Also I remember the spontaneous but highly structured and organised economic system that developed with swapping and bartering stickers in the playground. Happy days!
