    Any else doing this?

    Me and the boy have been for a few weeks and have accumulated some doubles, if anyone has any they want to swap, please let me know.

    Finding it hard to get Honduras, Costa Rica and German stickers.

    I did player cards with the kids for World Cup 1994. I still have thousands of them. Full sets, specialsets, inserts, everything. I figured they'd be worth something someday.

    I was wrong.

    My parents got me Hero's of the Persian Gulf War baseball cards. I should be able to retire at any time.

    Me and my two older daughters have books. They think the Germans are hot, especially Götze. I have no Uruguay or Bosnia Herzegovina as yet. Between the three of us we don't get too many doubles, but if we start racking them up I'll send you a PM.

    Are you talking about the set done by the same folks who did the NFL Pro Set cards? Those are worth a pretty penny too... no, really, somebody will give you a real nice looking penny for them, don't settle for that grimy, oxidizing penny they have...

    It's a collector thing akin to baseball cards. You buy a book which has players from all the world cup teams and other related things like the stadiums, then buy packs of 7 stickers to fill up the book. You can find them wherever baseball cards and the like are sold.

    I am glad that this forum can be used to help fill your books with a complete set of stickers. I imagine it will be expensive to buy enough packs of stickers to get there, a minimum of $120. I had a book or two for baseball and know that it is a fun activity but would now get more enjoyment by buying a fancy customized jersey for that amount of money.

    That is indeed the set. I think they have them somewhere in the bank locked up waiting for the money to flow.

    Fantastic. The young un got a 3 shiney packet earlier. He was utterly thrilled.

    Completed our first team last night - Japan.

    Hi there, I'm also trying to fill the album and have a ton of doubles. I'd be down for joining some trading club

    I hate you all. I read this (didn't even know about it before) and am now hooked. I never collected baseball cards before, but I tend to get obsessed with stuff like netflix tv shows and video games so I should have known better. I have not finished any teams yet. It will be hard for me to trade doubles because I am in Dallas, but we could work something out.

    I can't get enough of it either. Panini have an iphone app and it scans the stickers really quickly, but for some reason, unless I cannot find it, they don't seem to have a way of publishing what swapsies you have

    oh and btw my son was ecstatic, one pack, 3 foils. His face!

    And lastly, why is everyone's foil portrait except Englands, which is landscape. Also, theirs is a flag and eberyone elses seems to be the badge from the jersey. I wonder if there is some copyright on the three lions or something.

    The FA sold the rights to Topps I think - have done for the last few tournaments. If you look at the player pictures as well they are all generic white shirts.

    I was thinking about Swaps - Currently I have a huge stack of them - I think I, I mean my son is down to 150 stickers needed.

    Is it worth trying to have a meet up before the Chicago game or similar? I need to get some of these swapped.
