Standing in the queue around the shop earlier waiting to pay for some ‘Bog Roll’ there were two really obnoxious kids in front of me who were fighting over Welsh Panini stickers. Both wanted to lucky dip, pick their own packets of stickers with the lady in the shop getting a tad annoyed with them.
My nerdy senses begun to tingle, I collect programmes for fuck sake and I have never completed a ‘Panini Sticker book because I would lose interest, but Wales have qualified for France and I decided I was in for £2.99 for the sticker book.
I have noted I am a little behind many of my social media comrades some of whom are close to finishing their books. There is no way I will be spending £10 to buy 20 packets of stickers I bought two with my sticker book not realising there were some freebies within.
I just know there will be one or two of the stickers at will be impossible to find but I intend not to use the Panini complete your collection service. It wasn’t a bad first haul of sticker’s just five doubles and on the plus side eight shinys.
Swaps will not be as easy as the last time I collected stickers I would just front up at school and trade. I could be arrested for standing around the school gates now. So I may have to correspond to like-minded more of an age collectors via post.
