korda-slovillan Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 The Panini World Cup Sticker 2010 album is due in towards the end of April. I have been browsing the net for a bit and that is the general consensus. Does anyone know the date for the confirmation of the world cup squads? If I remember the date is about 15th May for the final submission, but I am sure England always do a preliminary squad before that don't they? I am guessing Panini just go with the 15 most likely players. They never have 23 per team in the books. More like 15 if I remember. As I already mentioned, this particular album is already on sale in Slovenia (unless Panini makes a special one for the UK, then I guess it's the one you're talking about). I am not 100-percent sure, but I think there are 19 stickers per team (17 footballers, a team photo and a crest, BTW the English "crest sticker" always has english flags on it, never the actual Three Lions - maybe a copyright dispute?) As far as the England squad in this album, David Beckham is in it (and we all know he won't play), and from Villa, only Heskey is included. I'm not at home now, but I can check the album later today and then get back tomorrow with the list of all England players in the album... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainer Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Did these all the time at school. So many childhood memories of half a dozen kids standing in a circle with inch thick wads of stickers saying "got, got, got, got, need, got, got..." Spot on there, can remember it like it was yesterday.. Use to be 20p packet and i would spend my dinner money on them on the way home from school. Think i might dig my collections out tomorrow and have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think i might dig my collections out tomorrow and have a look. Too right. Loved it. Anyway News of the World are giving their free Sticker book in the paper tomorrow and I'm really tempted to have a blast at it. Kidlewis (or anybody else who knows), how much are the sticker packs and how many are inside? Cheers, would be awesome to complete it and keep it for the future to look back on!

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I'd do it but I feel too embaressed to go into a shop and ask for football stickers at 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I'm 17 too mate. Can't you buy the boxes with about 100 packs in from Ebay or somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Oh yes there is too, just bidded on a box full of 100 packs at £31 so far. Won't go any higher than £40 though. About 10 minutes left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 how much is 1 pack nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 That what's I'd like to know too but you do get 5 stickers per pack so not much surely? I won the auction aswell, it all happened so fast! £41 in total so look forward to opening those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 so you just paid 41p a pack then! 5 stickers per pack? and there is 640 stickers in total, which means that you will need a minimum of 128 packs! this is going to cost a bomb, be surprised if it could be done for less than £75 IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 640 in total? Didn't know that mate, gonna be a big book that needs filling then. I guess the idea of the whole thing is as it used to be; If you've got 2 the same of one sticker you've gotta trade it for somebody you haven't got! Problem is I'll probably be the only guy collecting them! Some online swapping might be in order I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 i think anyway, ebay earlier had any 2 stickers in the book for £2.50 or something like that, said there was 640 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Oh, well I just hope the stickers aren't any less than 41p then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I remember when I stole 240 packets from a factory. I felt bad afterwards. Don't steal kids. I had hours and hours of fun sorting out teams and what not. Premiership stickers or 06 I think it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaGoMarching Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 you can normally buy retailer boxes from ebay if you get abit desperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Used to do these years ago. Still have the completed book from the first Premier League season. I wonder if it will ever be worth anything.... Anyway, had good times when I was younger doing it. However, I stopped collecting them around 1998. At 25 I feel a bit too old for them now.

Wol. Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 mate got the album today it had 3 packs come with it. Has got 3 swaps already out of those 3 packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I loved collecting them as a kid! First one I got was Panini First Division '86. I think I completed the '88 or '89 one. I remember being distraught once when I had THREE Carl Leaburn's in a single packet. What are the chances hey?! I can still remember it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
