Panini World Cup stickers
 

So an academic has worked out that the average cost to complete the album (assuming no swaps) is £773. Anyone here collecting or have kids collecting? Does that figure put you off?

I am going for it for the first time in ages this year which might not be very wise considering the stickers are now 80p instead of 50p. Still though I think it's a bucket list thing to be able to say you completed a world cup album and they then become really valuable. Know a few people collecting to swap with as well. Probs still cost a load but then I spend money on lots of things that I don't necessarily need to

Smallest boy LT is but he knows he wont complete but the fun is playing along and trying to get good players

My son did it for the last Euros and it drove me mad. My Dad bought them for him but he never swapped any - got most of them but then we had bloody hundreds lying around the house that were , in is words, dupes (duplicates). Not bothering this time

I hope you are not letting him stick them in himself at disjointed angles

You can also make your own Panini set too if you upload a picture they immortalise you as a pack of stickers for a fiver

perhaps a idea for our creative section :hee:

I did the last two because a few of my friends did it but not doing it this year

I think I spent about 150 roughly each time then however much it took to send away for the rest...I don’t think I really swapped any with my friends either cause they live away

But yeah... you grow up and you/ those mates have better things to do with their money and time

If it’s 80p do you get more stickers? That sounds outrageous

The excuses were fun at the time too..like “yeah these are for my little nephew”

Think I just about got away with it at 23 but now I’m 27 I can’t bring myself to do it

I'd prefer a cheese and bacon panini tbh

Absolutely not, I do the sticking in

Nah still the same. Thought they might increase it because a lot of sticker series are 60p now and they'd been 50p forever but didn't think it would go up by that much

When you get packets on magazines free they are always crap

Nah you always used to get Ronaldo or Drogba to entice you into buying it

With the free sticker album

There's a show on the BBC red button at the moment, about some Radio 1 guy trying to complete his 2006 album.

^They might be trying to organise a meeting with Marvin Andrews. :worship:

I cuddle mine every night..i wont let it go...it shines..

Yeah just found it....aww..the end...nearly..pens now

Ok...that wasnt OTT at all.

Wait...its on again...ive just seen the end though...annoying **** can **** off.

I still have loads from Italia 90 and Euro 88, I don't have the albums anymore though, don't remember what I did with them

It's on a loop.

Down to about 70 stickers needed for my album :cool:

It can't be that long because they're showing the Match of the Day bit again, which is where I dropped in before.

Now down to 49 stickers remaining so I can now send off for those and I will have a complete World Cup album :hee:
