Swapsies? I remember going to school with a massive stack of multiples in my bag, held together with an elastic band. Silver/Gold Team Badges on top players below.

I remember one year having about 10 Peter Withes when he played for Villa.

Stickers! I used to be obsessed with stickers! Used to buy at least one packet every day on the way home from school. Football ones. Comic book ones. Video game ones! I loved them!

I'd bet good money you wont get the entire album if those 50 packets.

Not even enough stickers in the box to cover the album. Theres about 250 stickers in a box. Probably about 400+ spaces in the album.

did not think of that :/ you are correct. 462 in the book, 250 in the box. i shall have to get another box!

Well he will have a valid excuse now to hang outside of school gates bartering with 8 year old boys.

crikey, another pack with 2 shineys!

LiE · 4 Jan 2012 at 15:59

Maybe a 3rd box too

I had the entire 1978 album, the last and most difficult sticker was the League Cup, but I got there in the end. The win, the win was strong.

This is the one (not mine)!

Just noticed, are they not Panini anymore?

Nice waste of money you have there!

I completed the 97 annual and I struggle to remember a greater sense of achievement since...

whitecrook · 4 Jan 2012 at 16:18

I had some of these, not footbal ones, but probably he-man or something. Every album had only 1 pack of stickers, the pack that came with it. Could never see the point tbh

What a daft thing to say.

Spenty · 4 Jan 2012 at 16:19

It's not a waste tbh, in 10 year a complete album in pristine condition will net a decent sum.

Spending on a dream is never a waste.

Not really as the new transfer window has opened so some stickers will be wrong
