there is a digital edition ans has been for several tournaments. its not the same though.

I'm skipping this year. Shit got too expensive.

>>154225996
enjoy it while you can. Fantatics will be buying that shit for 2030 just like they have bought all the sports.

yet another children's hobby ruined by manchilds and scalpers

"kid's room" at my grandparents' is covered in those from the 80s and 90s. Never paid it much attention myself

>>154226216
>mindlessly throwing $$$ at breakers or overpriced hobby shops
>not utilizing doubles to trade or sell to other bros to get more or fund more
>not diving into facebook posts to unearth old collections from people offloading random stuff from the basement/attic to sort through while drinking and watching the game

>1,50€ per pack
get fucked you italian jews

>>154225996
I have mine from 2014 to 2022.
Shit is getting expensive as fuck

>>154226390
I did always dream of buying one pack and turning it into a complete album purely through aggressive swapping

I have the 1998 one.

>>154227888
The one where they're wearing fake tracksuits edited in paint because they didn't have the licences?

>wasting money on tuvalu, Irak or something

Why are these things getting increasingly more expensive? I stopped buying packs like 12 years ago because even then it was terribly overpriced plus you'd think children would not have any interest in it in the world of smart phones. Who keeps buying this shit?

>>154228507
sports cards have also gotten bad like this. Ever since Fanatics started taking over everything, influencers got out of hand with their breaks on whatsnot, and everything went to chasing the 10 gem mint with PSA for fucking 1991 Fleer baseball.

>>154226415
>triple the price compared to 25 years ago
To be fair the same applies to most things but I guess it's worse overall since there are a mot more teams now

>>154225996
underage and b&

>>154226415
I swear they were -,70DM when I used to buy them.

>>154230684


Unc using Deutschmarks lmaoooooo

I distinctly remember a packet costing 25 cents for 1998. I'm sure they're like 2 euro now. Highway robbery

>>154230684
they were fifty cents in 2006, last time I collected them. always went to the bakery on Sunday mornings to purchase rolls for breakfast and had a little left over to purchase a pack or two from the Kiosk next door

>>154225996
I still have my 2010 WC album

>2010's were $1000 each pack
I miss those days

>>154225996
>7 bananas for a pack
>number of stickers increased because of format change
>still unemployed

i'll skip this time ;-;

>>154232413

>1,50€ per pack
That'd be incredibly cheap for American sports cards

>>154233364
These are cheap stickers though. You stick them in an album and try and fill it up.

It's very expensive now. It's going to flop here

>980 total base stickers
>a bunch of special variant colors and shit
>7 stickers a pack
lmao they're about to bleed all the dumbass adults who buy this stuff into bankruptcy

huntin everywhere for this one boys. Wil trade some super refractors if you have it.

it's like £800 to try and fill a book iirc

I imagine you open the pack and there is some guy from curacao, without shirt

>>154235028
that is why you have to work a bit. Sell doubles or trade for ones you need. Just spamming $$$ at packs and on breaks always will lead to spending way too much.

what the fuck is this, back then you just collected few stickers and that was it

>>154235128
short prints to make it harder to get inflating the cost of the singles for those ones and also forcing you to buy a ton of extra packs and amass a ton of extra dupes that you will never be able to offload.

>>154235128
>630 cards
>4 cards that only come every 70 packets
Lame, I'm not doing this anymore.

>>154225996
Let me guess: extremely low quality and insane prices, like everything (((modern)))

Stop trying to deflect, Giuseppe. This product is produced by Panini, an ITALIAN company owned by ITALIANS.

I only ever used to collect the Premier League sticker albums, for maybe 5 years in the 90s.

this shit is so funny.
If they were still popular (and if I still had friends) I'd buy them, just to trade my dupes

>>154243246
see that's a kinotastic design.
Today's stickers are full of (((minimalist))) soulless shitty design

>>154225996
Can you even complete a collection before they stop printing it and start working on the next one?

>>154234939
>meme teams having doubled up stickers
Couldn't get away with that now. Some random ooga booga from Cape Verde that nobody has heard of will need a whole sticker if Harry Kane gets a whole sticker.

>>154245929
>will need a whole sticker
and probably a shiny edition and a load of other meme shit like >>154235128
