And hopefully this is the last sticker blog, probably for ten years. I ordered both the collectabubble stickers and Panini at the same time. The collectabubble ones turned up two days later by recorded delivery, at a cost of £4.70 plus £2 delivery. Eight days after ordering I got an e-mail from Panini saying that the stickers would be delivered within fifteen days. A further eight days later I received the stickers, including the fabled 00 Panini logo, at a cost of £3.39, having got a discount for joining the Panini club. Thus I have completed the set with the only gap being the My Panini ad, which I'll have to draw myself as the paninicheapskates people haven't replied.
The total cost was:
Two boxes and album £102-99
Forty extra packets £ 20-00
Collectabubble.com order £ 6-70
Panini order £ 3-39
Grand Total £ 133-08
The roughly 600 swaps were given away to a colleague's son; I have no idea how well he has done. Apologies to anyone who thought that I might be desperate to get rid of my swaps; I was, so I took them to work.
The paninicheapskates people have had worldwide publicity, a short film made about them, are having an exhibition and may be part of a Panini book. Me ? Absolutely nothing.
