Something different this time. This book was published last October (2013), but I've only just come across it. I haven't read it yet, still waiting for my copy to arrive, but here's a review that will give you some idea what it's about. I'm sure it will be a familiar story to many sticker collectors around the world.

Review by Mark Lomas (ESPN FC)

http://www.espnfc.com/blog/fc-reviews/83/post/1930447/fc-reviews-six-stickers

The 2014 World Cup has been a salmagundi of unpredictability, with late goals aplenty and Costa Rica. In among the surprises, however, have been some constants from tournaments past. From that familiar feeling of disenchantment that grips supporters of England every four years, to the cries of "got, got, need" that accompany quests to complete the official World Cup sticker album.

Collecting and collating stickers is a football tradition, nay institution, that transcends generations. For one 29-year-old Portsmouth fan, however, it became somewhat of an obsession. Like many of the best stories -- think "Are You Dave Gorman?" and "Round Ireland With A Fridge" -- Adam Carroll-Smith's "Six Stickers" is based on the premise of a quest that seems pointless to pretty much everyone in the world aside from the author.

The tale begins when Carroll-Smith discovers to his horror that the 1996 Premier League sticker album he had always proudly proclaimed to be complete is actually bereft of six little faces. The names Stuart Ripley, Philippe Albert, Gary Penrice, Scott Minto, Lars Bohinen and Keith Curle wouldn't have struck terror into too many players and fans in their footballing heyday -- but their absence from Carroll-Smith's book keeps him up at night, and then some.

What follows is a journey full of high-jinx, ferry crossings and lexical banter as Carroll-Smith sets off to track down the six missing men. The book chronicles his mission but throughout the 254 pages, Carroll-Smith also does some pertinent philosophising about football -- notably about how football, and his relationship with the game, has changed since he first began consuming it as a child.

It is a book that will certainly resonate with any fans who watched football during the mid-90s, particularly if you were, like author, at the sort of age best described as one's football-supporting pomp. Mentions of players such as Peter Atherton and John Beresford are sure to bring pangs of nostalgia, while Caroll-Smith's informal, diaristic tone is a welcoming one; his ever-changing emotions and evolving misadventures akin to a football-loving Adrian Mole.

Ultimately, Six Stickers is a witty exploration of the romance surrounding the beautiful game and an eminently readable offering that is a must for anyone who has vociferously cursed at pulling out their third Blackburn Rovers shiny in as many packs.

This collection of cards was released on 30 July, 2014. There's only one football-related card in the collection - Pele. I have the complete checklist so if anyone wants it just drop me an e-mail. I've included the sell-sheet so that you can see what the collection is all about. 4 cards per pack, 1 pack per box, 12 boxes per case (48 cards, but they are all on-card autographs). Boxes are selling for around $103 and cases are selling around $1,100.
If I come across other parallel versions of the Pele card, I'll add them here and include a notice on the front of the blog letting everyone know that this post has been updated.

200 cards + 20

Another collection of World Cup cards... 18 teams represented here, I'm not sure if any of the others are in this set. There's a maximum of 15 cards for some of the 'better' teams, like Brazil, France and Uruguay, while other countries only have two or three cards, and I've no idea how many cards are in the set, so I don't know how close we are to a complete checklist. The player cards are numbered on the back, but I've only got the number for one card so far. The backs of the player cards includes the teams qualifying table, plus details of their World Cup group fixtures. The design on the back of the shield cards utilises a set of posters created by Cristiano Siqueira that were featured on this blog a little while ago. You can see all of them here - ESPN / Cristiano Siqueira- World Cup Brasil 2014

Unknown issuer (Argentina) - Brasil 2014 FIFA World Cup


2014

Brasil 2014 FIFA World Cup
Unknown issuer
Argentina
300 cards

I don't know much about this collection. Issued in Argentina, possibly printed in China. A maximum of 17 cards per team (I think), up to 15 ordinary cards and 1 or 2 'Star' cards. It would be great to hear from other collectors who may have more information. The logo cards are especially nice, with the logos sitting on a gold background.

On a personal level I'll be looking for the Gary Medel card (presuming there is one) and the Kim Bo-Kyung card.
UPDATE: Following the publication of this list, I've had an e-mail from Jasper van Hoof - you'll find the photos he sent here - Unknown issuer (Argentina) - Brasil 2014 FIFA World Cup (2). The back of the packet states that it is a collection of 300 cards, so I've added numbers to the list for reference purposes, so that it's easier to work out how many more cards need to be identified.
UPDATE:  I inadvertently listed the Colombia cards as Costa Rica. Thanks to Lee West for letting me know my mistake.
