I know I'm fully grown adult who should be well beyond collecting stickers, but I'll be all over this. Possibly even a complete book of nothing but City . A full page of Jake Bidwells perhaps.
6 for 5p when I first collected back in 78 or 79. Steadily increased, made some really difficult to get and a few others more common than dog shit and cut qty to 5 but mugs like me will still buy a box of 100 packs
Bloody hell. What year!
10p for me!
Football 86...and Mexico 86... Double pocket money whammy!!
Remember a mate "finding" £10 and buying a whole box -:100 packs - of México 86 from the newsagents! (Who let him aged 8 without question!!)
Still didn't complete the book.....
His mum was fuming about the tenner too. Ate right into her fag money!!!
Italia '90 was the first stickers that I collected. I remember I had to send away for the last few. Nobody else I knew at the time collected them so there was no opportunity to swap.
The first football league one I collected was the Pro Set cards in 90/91. No idea why I can remember Brian Deane was the last one I needed when I can't remember what I was doing 5 minutes ago.
One day at college I had an afternoon off so purchased a full box of the 99/00 Prem stickers just to see how close I could get to finishing it and collected the whole 500 or so out of the 600 purchased.
I think someone did a calculation at a recent World Cup with all the probabilities of getting different stickers and worked it out at over £1k to complete a set.
