Football cards and stickers issued around the world, from the 1880's to the present day and even some that haven't been issued yet. I don't have any cards for sale, nor do I provide valuations, this blog is just a means of passing on information I have gathered over many decades of collecting. Alan Jenkins.
Just spoke to the UK distributors and these will be priced at 80p a packet (up from 60p) a fair hike in my opinion but probably no surprise as the Adrenalyn cards also rose in price. works out at 0.16p a sticker. Times that by 650 its £104 minimum to complete. I think panini are pricing themselves out here.
I wonder if Panini also paid FIFA more to secure the license when it came up for renewal recently. Probably the main reason for the price rise in the cards and stickers.
80p for a packet of stickers...really, that's a price hike of 30p from the last World Cup sticker album, they were increased to 60p last year for all sticker collections, I expected them to remain the same for some years yet.
Mind you if they are put a lot of effort into the World Cup Sticker Collections, they are worth it in my opinion.
In Norway the price is even higher. I reckon it will be £1 for one packet in Norway, so I will probably order from a britisk distributor and save some money that way
So 3 boxes minimum to complete

ReplyDeleteHi Stu,
DeleteI think they are passing on the cost of whatever they paid FIFA for the license.
