Who can forget the sheer joy of ripping open a packet of football sticker or cards during those formative years when all but a few pence of the pocket money was swallowed on the latest collection?
Those times when you knew whether you had or needed hundreds of players, based solely on your photographic memory? The half-and-half team stickers and the ‘shinys’. Or, the rare cards you’d sniff out by fondling the pack for an embossed card.
These collections are a wonderful window into the past and we’ve enjoyed sifting through them during lockdown. If you’ve kept your albums, we encourage you to dig them out and finally complete those collections via a little eBay shopping. We’ve also got the current albums for you to jump in on today. You’re never too old for a swap shop.
