Mexico 86 I finished.
And a return of the jedi one.

Collusal waste of money and pure genius.

Also had multiple Pg tips ones from teabags.

Yeah, as much as I’d like to relive my childhood, I’m also saving for a deposit, I’m out...

Ouch!

£800 for a book and stickers

rather spend the £800 on a holiday than a sticker book that will end up in the bin

Technically not true as you can buy individual ones from Panini direct for 22p.

It doesn’t cost anywhere near £600-£700 - that reporting is just headline grabbing.
We have bought 2x 100 packet boxes for £140 (1000 stickers) and will fill most of the book from those. The remaining will be completed through swaps.

We completed the Euro 16 album (also mentioned in the article) for about £120 [£254 less than the article is reporting]

So a mega rolleyes for that fake news article :rolleyes:

The news article also says pretty much what you have just posted.

No it doesn’t

With 10 friends swapping, it could still cost them an average of £247 each to complete the album, according to the professor's calculations.

That’s still over £100 more than reality.

That ‘Professor’ is awesome

I got my sticker book starter set today

, doing it purely for the children of course, as they are too young to do it neatly...

So errr, who's going to start the swap thread?

I think I did a Power Ranges one in Summer 95 too but I don't think I completed it or still have it.

I remember Ally McCoist was near impossible to get back in 88/89. Or was it 90...

I didn't even like football and got pulled into this. Mexico '86. Swops turned into selling in the end. Two pence per sticker, five pence for the gold/silver ones. The headteacher banned it soon after.

NoobCannon · 29 Mar 2018 at 18:55

Best bet is to buy the completed book next year from ebay for £20

Pawnless Endgame · 29 Mar 2018 at 22:43

Even if people on here are able to complete the Russia '18 book, I'm not sure how relevant it will be. It very much depends on Russia's diplomatic relations with the rest of the world in the wake of the spy murder attempt. It could create a similar situation to the 2 Koreas competing in the recent Winter Olympics? If the whole thing gets called off though, then it will make an illuminating change from England being knocked out by Germany in the quarters / semis via the penalty knock-out round lol

Interesting. I remember for Italia '90, we still did swaps at the school I attended.

I thought the whole point of these sticker collections are that you collect them over time by buying stickers with your pocket money. Not buying the album and 2 x 100pk stickers in one go. Wheres the fun in that! A lot of us in school were collecting the stickers even before we had bought the album to stick them in.
