Panini World Cup sticker albums or nah?
StrumSolo > 21/03/2018, 17:42
It's been a bit of a whirlwind journey with this one. There were the familiar pangs of nostalgia when I saw the link to the video pop up, followed by the feeling that this might be the year I finally start collecting again. How much does a pack of stickers costs these days? Who cares? I'll be snapping them up at a rate my broke ass ten year-old self could only dream of, the book'll be completed within a week...
But then you actually watch it, and all you can think about is the amount of distance you want to put between yourself and those guys. They're really not fucking cool! At all!
So yeah, in a bit of a quandry here. Panini World Cup sticker albums or nah - what you saying? -

Filling Panini World Cup sticker book estimated at £773
Filling this year's Panini World Cup sticker book costs £773.60, twice the cost for Euro 2016, according to maths expert Prof Paul Harper.
The pages contain 32 squads of players, plus managers, stadiums and World Cup legends, totalling 682 stickers.
A pack of five stickers has risen from 50p to 80p - a 60% increase.
If you buy 137 packets and never get the same sticker twice, it will cost £109.60, but this is "extremely unlikely", says the professor.
Prof Harper, from Cardiff University's School of Mathematics, worked out a formula to include the least probable number of duplicate stickers.
In the end, he demonstrated that on average you would need to buy 4,832 stickers - or 967 packets - to complete the Italian-made book.
In 2016, he made the same calculations for the 680-space Euro sticker book. It was £374, meaning the cost has more than doubled.
While the Euro competition only had 24 squads - 10 fewer than the World Cup - there were only two fewer stickers in the book printed two years ago. -
