jagfox Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Due to a quiet spell at work i nipped into the local Spar and picked up a starter park and 5 packs of stickers. Didn't really pay attention until those a can of Irn Bru Xtra and 2 packs of Square crisps came to £15.05! Turns out they're flogging the starter pack for £5.99 and the packs are £1.50 each rather than the RRP £0.80 a pack. Still, I got a nice shiny Leo Messi Limited Edition... #GotGotNeed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Bought the album and a 100 pack box earlier. Works out about 52p a packet in real money. Decent value at that price but overall I think they are at the point now where they are charging too much. Will start on it when I get home, but won't whack the lot in immediately. Need to swap with her 5 and 7 year old nephews, or whatever fucking age the little gits are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 ex Mrs H used to work for Panini (couple of paid-for trips to HQ in Bologna - very nice); she'd regularly bring home shrinkwrapped albums with complete card sets, especially for the european leagues; I tipped up at a collectors fair thing on the isle of sheppey (not as nice as La Grassa, strangely enough) to sell a load of old programmes and fanzines and the like - early 90's this must have been - and all of the albums were in a box; bloke comes up and asks me how much for 'em, so i said "twenty quid'll do", meaning for the whole lot - so he picked out nine albums - and handed over £180.00 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know if they will be selling them in the UK but it was Lidl who were selling the boxes here at 30% under the normal price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best I've seen so far is Argos who sell 100 packet boxes for £70, which is a tenner cheaper than anywhere else I've seen to date.

Ross. Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Put the 16 freebies in yesterday. Got up the road last night after having a few for the Scotland game and opened the first actual packet. 2 fucking doublers. Fair to say I was raging. No doublers in the other 4 packets I opened though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parfecto Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Bought the starter pack yesterday and 6 packets. I already have about 7 doublers. 2 Ryan McGowans and 2 Moussa Dembeles. My South Korea page is looking pretty healthy though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab B Nesbit Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 80p a packet apparently that works out at £112 to fill the 700 stickers without any doublers. That’s up from 50p for the Euros. Needless to say Panini have been getting pelters on twitter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in 2010 Sainsbury’s we’re doing 3 packs for £1.20 which was a good deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave_binos Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Buzzing for my album and 31 stickers to arrive this week. What’s the minimum number of doublers before we get swaps on the go? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
