Got, got, NEED: the Panini Euro 2012 album is here

[Placid Casual27]

Euro 2012 starts now: the official Panini Euro 2012 sticker album is out and it's looking pretty fine

I'm excited. Who's in? I remember in 2010 (and 2008?) we had a few of you high-living aesthetes swapping away on here

I'm in, haven't got one of these since I was a kid

Barry Daines sticker number 333 . . . you broke my heart:

Yeah, ride that swede!

England one has two players who are unlikely to go - Darren Bent and Jack Wilshere.

Why don't you think wilshere will go? I think if wilshere plays before the end of the season, which he is predicted to do,they will select him.

On the back of the possibility of 3 games at the backend of the season? They shouldn't bring him, but then it hasn't stopped us in the past...

I agree that perhaps they shouldn't take him if he has only played 3 games, but I think we are so short of talent, that they will take him if he is no longer injured.

Who knows in this (as with previous tournaments) Eng are the only (I think only) Association that does not allow its badge to be used or for the players' photos to have them in their match shirts?

Surely they can't be that arsey over image rights etc?

You beauty. I just posted on the thread from last year, too! Not seen it in any shops yet.

 

[Placid Casual27]

I bought it Sat, £1.99 for album and 3 packs of stickers plus 6 stickers inside the album cover so 21 in total

It looks good this time let's get on it

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

You are all aware that you are, you know, grown ups, yeah?

 

[Onket]

It's my daughter that's interested, not me.

She managed to complete the one in 2010 a couple of months before she was born.

I bought an album and 10 packets at dinnertime.

Someone says this every time

In my own defence, I'm not really much more grown up than when I first started with Paninis, in Football 78 and Argentina 78

 

[chintz]

Family chintz are in, 3 swaps in the starter pack

 

[L.P.]

I read at http://www.stickerswapping.co.uk/panini-uefa-euro-2012-poland-ukraine-sticker-album.html that the very first sticker is a panini special sticker. do any of you know exactly what they are talking about? is it one of those that panini only makes 5 per country for example and is ultra rare?

It's usually the one with no number that goes inside the front cover. Dunno if they make less of them, I assume you can order it at the end like you can with the other ones.

 

[Brixton Hatter]

the stickers have gone up to 60p - they used to be 50p. Goddamn this inflation

 

[Onket]

They were 50p in Tesco when I bought them last week. :/

 

[Onket]

They are definitely 50p.

The box does say €0.60 on it though, so your newsagent is either short-sighted, or a slippery fucker.

 

[Onket]

Gah.

Well the FA will be producing their own range of associated products for the tournament and won't want this detracting from it. Pretty sure other countries' FAs will be doing the same within their own territories too (and perhaps the FA logo etc will be used abroad for the collection but not here).

Appreciate a Welshman may not be familiar with the finer points of merchandising rights for major tournaments though

This also happened in 2010. The sticker that should have been the shiny England badge was a Cross of St George instead.

I hope you're collecting this year, JTG.

yeah the England team page looked well shit in the World Cup 2010 album. None of the players were pictured in action shots - just a head & shoulders pic in a plain white t-shirt. They weren't even allowed to use an England team picture, so Panini had to make one up by photoshopping all the individual pics together. It looked so bad.

oh. Good thing I haven't bought any yet then!

Get on with it!!!!

 

[Brixton Hatter]

As much as it was fun last time I did it, I'm not sure I want to spend nearly £200 on stickers......I am still undecided.....

 

[Onket]

Don't keep a record of how much you spend and never think about it.
