Question Am I too old for a sticker album?

[DTS]

I'm in told the mrs and somehow she seemed to think it's a good idea. I will be starting a swapsie club early next week. Hope to see you all there x

My 5 year old has had the Topps Premiershite album last 2 seasons. It has really helped him with numbers and he knows all the teams and players now. Still think it was better in my day when at least you had the team photos of the lower leagues. I can still remember the strange turquoise pitch of Hamilton Academicals.

He (I) will be getting the world cup one.

I think I lost my old sticker books :(. Would be very sad if I had.

3 certainties in life - you die, you pay taxes, and you are never ever ever ever ever ever ever too old for stickers. Ever.

My fridge is adorned with them, I've decorated a football with them as part of someone's present, and someone at the back of the East Greens next week might be in for a plesant sticker surprise next week.

Anyone who says you're too old for stickers deserves to die agonisingly and very slowly. Fact.

Top post Dave, I was only thinking this last weekend when I saw the sticker album in the newsagents.
This thread has shown me that I am not alone - count me in please!:)

Mrs Ex-TTB bought mine for me! Would be rude not to collect them. You can even buy them on e-bay!

Sun Soccer Stamps from 1971/2.

My old Nan gave me the albulm and that led to my Dad having to but The Sun for about three months (which I think he enjoyed) so I could collect the tokens.

Was a major UK wide craze and I recall attending a swappsie club in South Benfleet. Stamps for every club plus loads more.

Ended up getting the complete set but not in time to win the prize that was on offer (a trip to Disneyland).

Still got the book with all the stamps. Thought it might be worth something so just looked it up on EBay - there is an almost full one for £4.99 and no bids. Not the goldmine I was hoping for.

Anyone else collect these?

the stickers are 50p a pack which I think is a knock when you only get 5.

If the stickers were still 10-15p each, then i'd probably still be up for it. However, 50p a pack is a bit of a rip-off

Errm, 50p for 5 is comfortably within 10-15p each. :dim:

(yes, know you meant 10-15p a pack, just being pedantic ;))

By voting yes in your own poll, I reckon your mind may be made up mate. :D

I was just thinking that we should all vote for him being too old for it :D

Ok If i'm honest as an adult was very jealous that it was too childish, couldn't do it. But the Mrs went shopping and mentioned I needed some new trainers, she saw some, I said ok but I need to try them on. I buzz round to the retail park at lakeside(MA's company) bargain £20 shoes £40 england kit for the boy, the bargain in this deal? Where is it I hear you say. I (not my son 3) got a free pannini sticker book 2010 with 2 packs of stickers, well on my way .:clap::clap::clap::clap:

I didn't think I'd be able to do this as doubted the stickers would be available in Oz. However the Aussie version of 442 this month is giving away the album and 6 stickers (and a HUGE wallchart). Also the newsagents near my work is also selling the packs of stickers. Get in!
