The Incredible Story of Panini Football Stickers

[@ZK1NG1]

So... EA Sports borrowed the idea from Panini and turned a football game into a casino! :))) ...and in the end, the house always wins!

[@vitormestre3298]

Amen

[@jamiep0495]

the reason the cards went from rectangular up to 2012 to their current shape in fifa 13 was because of match attax as they resembled cards

[@angelfelixgallardomiguel]

True

[@adlilzafri2322]

Yes but unlike EA, these stickers won't be obsolete in a year and the rare ones can be sold for actual money

My son loves it so much (ucl album). I’m buying him packages each year worth around £800. Then I finish the album with some buys on eBay. Usually we finish it by Christmas. I know I’m actually buying it for myself... the child inside me. I know exactly the probabilities... I’m a manufacturing engineer and work a lot with probabilities. But I don’t care. It’s pure fun. Btw, I don’t buy stickers. I get the really nice looking cards.

For sure!!! I remember of the trading encouters that reunited tons of peoples in squares and others public spots. My favorite one was the 2010 world cup album because i was at school and the school is a great place to trade stickers :)

[@RenegadeShepard69]

@@matheus-sh4kg Me too! 2010 was definetly the best time, my school was pretty big and trading was a great way to get every kid involved and hanging out together. Some great memories I had forgotten until this video. I stopped buying albums after 2014, but with this video I think I'll actually buy the 2022! Just to kill the saudade haha.

[@angelrobles7201]

I wasn't really into collecting the 2018 World Cup album. After all, every time I tried I couldn't fill it. However, a coworker convinced me to do it, even showing me there was a network within the enterprise that was collecting it. That was one of the best things I have done. Not only because finally I achieved a full album, but because, during those stickers-trading sessions, I met several people who I haven't had a chance to speak to or treat beyond a formal quick-talk.

[@NIDELLANEUM]

As a kid, I remember being a bit mad at my parents because, at the end of a season, you could send a mail requesting the missing stickers, while of course paying. It was only as I grew up that I realised that, after the hundreds of Euros they had spent, they probably did not want to pay more money

[@armendvojvoda6289]

Only Athletic Interest can make panini sounds like an interesting documentary, with historical facts on it. Great job boys.

[@MrXcamas]

the Panini I remember the most: I think was Euro 2000. Seedorf with Zidane in the back. Seedorf showing his huge hamstring. I thought he was a superhero and I was just a kid.

[@leandrorocha9473]

In Brazil Panini is the biggest comics publisher, and their albums are the most sold with large advantage (having albums about Naruto and other stuff rather than about sports). Panini have the rights to publish Marvel and DC stuff, Bonelli and most of the biggest japanese manga like One Piece, Naruto, Attack on Titan, etc. In Latin America Panini have the biggest share as well, publishing japanese manga on Argentina, Colombia (being the only official publisher there) and in Mexico.

[@leandrorocha9473]

@NizzyNizerson It depends. In Brazil Panini have some competitors like JBC (that have some other major titles like Death Note, Akira) and NewPOP that is quite smaller, and I'm not counting the other publishers that have a smaller portion of releases. But Panini is the biggest because of their money, usually they buy rights to publish manga in more than one country which makes the licensing cheaper for them. In Argentina, Panini is not the biggest because they're quite a new player, the biggest publisher is Ivrea (which publishes in Spain as well). In Colombia Panini is the only publisher, and before them it didn't existed an oficial manga market there. In Mexico, Panini is responsible for the "boom" in their market, before them there was some publishers but they weren't that big or professional. Now, the Mexico manga market have more titles being published than Brazil, which was traditionally the biggest latin america manga market.

[@rafamalaman]

Their quasi-monopoly of the Brazilian market doesn't end there: Panini has also the rights to "Turma da Mônica" comics, created by local author Maurício de Sousa. These comics are, with large advantage, the most sold in the country for the last 45 years. To make things more exacerbate, the Brazilian branch of Panini was created only in 1995. Back then, there was a duopoly in the comics publishing in the country by the two largest media conglomerates (Globo and Abril), both of which giants that fully controlled the market from printing to distribution.

[@RenegadeShepard69]

Well explained Leandro Rocha and Rafa Malamán. From another Brazilian.

Why does FUCKING PANINI distribute manga?

[@alejandrobotia6003]

I've been collecting Panini cards in elementary school for 5 years, from 2010 to 2015. 5 Champion Leagues, 2 World Cups, 1 European Cup. Looking back it cost a lot of money. And there was also an online game where you could upload your cards (they all have a 12digit code) and play with your team against other people.

[@opaschmockyyy7295]

I still know in elementary school playing with the cards. We call it "zocken" in Germany. Me and a friend of mine filled a hole book with every sticker without spending any money at age 6 or so

I have several Serie A Panini sticker album, starting in 2002/03 to 2008/09. All fully completed. The key part was exchangin stickers at school with your friends and classmates. The more of them where on board the album, the fun and easier it was to complete. It also helps when even your father is up to it for complete the album. At the end, you just order the last missing sticker directly from Panini, and you have the full album.

[@chhmo9851]

I have a full Topps album of the Bundesliga season 09/10. My dad made a deal with me that he buys me all the missing cards separately if I won’t buy any stickers after that forever. It worked till today, I was satisfied with it and I have such a nice memory! I still love to see when Kroos was at Leverkusen, Özil at Bremen or Rakitic at Schalke and remember the joy and adrenalin rush at every pack opening I was having!

[@Muxkitto]

I've collected sitickers of the last 3 World Cups, and I completed 2 of those without that methot of buying cards diractly from Panini. The reason that I didn't completed the 2018 Album was that the price of the stickers double here in Brazil and the chance of getting a shiny card ( I don't know how do you call it in English ) was much lower than the World Cup before.

[@substatikvideos]

It’s somewhat surreal to me when I consider the link between two brothers in Italy creating this company in the 60s and then, 30 years later, their name and stickers becoming a part of me and my sister’s lives.

I remember back in 1998 or so when me and a friend actually bought a full display box of the stickers to complete our albums. Still didn't manage to do it. Lol. These days I am still into collecting to a degree. Every couple of months I buy two boxes of Magic the Gathering's newest set. But instead of opening them I stick them in my cellar for a couple of years, then sell them off, with actually quite the profit from it sometimes (e.g. buying a box for 90€ and 5 years later selling them for 160€). Also, I still really, really want an episode on the expansion process in major U.S. sports, particularly in light of the NHL expanding from 30 to 32 teams within 5 years (Vegas joined three years ago, Seattle joins in 2021).

[@MrReese]

I wonder if there are regional differences regarding which stickers are more common and rare in a certain area. I could imagine Panini printing all stickers with the same amount, but depending on where the charges are shipped there could be huge differences which stickers are common and which ones are rare.

I never collected Panini when growing up as the Premier League sticker album was run by a company called Merlin. I completed the 1996\97 album - I have no idea how much that must have cost. What's worse is that I no longer have it! It would probably be worth something now.
