Anyone got any uncompleted sticker albums?

[Barbus]

This is a nice story. A fan who found his 1996 sticker album in his attic tracked down the 6 players who were missing to take their photos personally.

Invalid, they're not the official stickers..his collection remains officially uncompleted. Cheater.

After two cross-channel trips, Mr Carroll-Smith found Newcastle United's Philippe Albert was working in the fruit and vegetable trade in his native Belgium.

Blackburn's Norwegian midfielder Lars Bohinen, meanwhile, was taking part in a Scandinavian version of Strictly Come Dancing.

Oh, how the great and mighty are fallen.

I'm sure I had like a thousand Keith Curle's on swap back in the day.

 

[Francis Benali (on loan)]

Imagine one thousand Keith Curles.

 

[Alexandro Garibaldi]

Imagine one thousand Keith Curles.

That would keep Notts County in managers for, oh, at least four years...

Halcyon days!


I remember being 6 when someone at school stole my Carl Tyler, my first Forest player. I cried for days.

I also remember having West Ham's Steve Potts in swap about 7 times! His weird, gurning face is etched on my brain for eternity.

 

[Gary]

Haha Steve Potts. I remember having a few Gary Mabbuts, Iain Dowies and I think Ugo Ehiguos too.

 

[Barry]

Foils were best

 

[Bonalair]

Hero and villain next to each other in the Panini World Cup 1990.

Had it out to show my kids what existed before Match Attax.

No way was Platt worth x3 what Psycho was!

[Brolin]

I can't believe he got a book out of tracking down six former footballers from less than 20 years ago.

 

[Tutts]

I can't believe he threw it in the sea.

 

[William.]

I can't believe the fruit & veg guy & the Solicitor haven't teamed up to form a mega Company

 

[Hoax]

Ugo Ehiogu was the most common I swear.

 

[trent end loyal]

there were some fair barnets on them stickers back in the day!

 

[Col]

There was a foil Ryan Giggs split into two one year, one half of him (legs, body, can't remember) was the most rarest sticker in our junior school back then. No f***er had it!

I remember always having loads of the Swindon club crest stickers too. Back when they were premier league!

 

[The Maniacal Megatron]

Merlin still owe me 4 stickers for my PL 96 album.

Robbing sods!

Yeah. Spends all week in the arms of a tidy looking half naked bird. Loser.

I remember going to the swap shops at McDonalds on Saturday mornings

 

[Redwich]

I got as a Christmas present a sticker album and a full box of stickers (like you used to buy one packet from in the newsagent). I completed it with a sticker in the very last packet in the box. At the time I thought that was really lucky but I now suspect the boxes were designed that way!

Got, got, got, swap, got, got, need, got, swap, got, got, got, got, swap, got NEED-AHHHHH-AH-NEEEEED, got, got, got, got, swap, need, got . . . .

Can't help you, I'm afraid. But you raise some questions:

1. How much is a packet of stickers now? Do you still get 6 normal ones and a shiny? They were 10p for a packet when I used to go to the shop with my Grandad as a nipper (for "Transformer" ones, late 80's, couldn't tell you when exactly but his 10 Embassy No.1's were about 76p, I can remember buying WWF packets of them for 20p in the early 90's and cycling around every Newsagents in Long Eaton to try and buy a packet with a Papa Shango "silver" in the early 90's.)

2. Was it different, back in the day, because I can't remember, but how is it possible to publish/release albums and stickers before a transfer window as shut? It seems a bit pointless nowadays, as your Samba predicament suggests.
