Vaguely on-topic: Euro 2020 Panini Sticker Collection.

[Feedthewolf 5,885]

With the Euros fast approaching, I was wondering if anyone else on here (or their kids/grandkids/other relatives) are collecting the Panini Euro 2020 stickers?

I'm a big kid, so I've done every major tournament since 2002, and I look forward to the 'got, got, need' of the sticker collection almost as much as the tournament itself!

There are only three NCFC players in the album: Teemu Pukki (197), Tim Krul (270) and Kenny McLean (450). No Hanley, weirdly.

If anyone wants to put their swaps list on here, feel free... I've got a fair few swaps already, so happy to exchange lists with anyone else who might be collecting them.

I assume the album was made last year and then just held back until the tournament date was rearranged, as a result Hanley wasn't in the Scotland squad at the time

I did wonder that, but Phil Foden's in there and he hadn't even made his international debut when the album would have been made originally...?

I’ve bought the Euro 2020 Tournament album last week although haven’t yet put any stickers in it. I will definitely be collecting them and very happy to swap with anyone on here in the coming weeks.

Panini put out the Euro 2020 Preview album last year, with the teams that had qualified in it. The playoffs hadn’t been played when it was released so there are a few pages in the back that set out the possible pathways, but no stickers for those teams. I think the Preview album was a bit of a money spinner for Panini or possibly a future rare collectible, who knows. I bought it as I have a bit of a sticker book addiction and needed a fix!

Just be careful to buy the Tournament sticker packs, especially if you buy from eBay or online, as they look very similar to the Preview sticker packs at a glance. The Tournament packs are mainly orange with a bit of blue, the Preview packs are almost all blue but both say Euro 2020 on them.

OMG - I used to be a huge Panini fan and I have a box of albums in the loft from the 70s onwards. I managed to wean myself off them in the 90s because of the cost. I didn't even get the NCFC set to my shame.

 

However, I made the mistake of following a Panini Collectors group on FB recently for a bit of nostalgia and I think I may be falling off the wagon. I have resisted so far seeing just how must these guys spend on boxes of these at a time but I still picked up a free album at the co-op the other day...I'm slipping...

 

Hi everyone, my name is Drazen Muzinic...and I...and I...am a football sticker collector...

That’s really funny Drazen, can I join your support group!

As this is a safe space can I admit to filling 2 of the recent NCFC albums this winter and then buying a third. I decided to keep that as a mint empty album as even I started to think it was getting a bit out of hand. The Norwich City FC Sticker group on Facebook are a great bunch and will help anyone who is collecting get the last few they need. I know you can get them from Archant but swapping your way to completion is sooo satisfying.
