Hatch Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 Do they still do them for Premier League teams? Will I be able to get a full Saints set next season and do they still do shiny club badges ? ( although I did like the cottony material effect ones that I seem to remember they did one year) I quite fancy the idea of our back four stuck to my lap top cover.

adysaint Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 http://www.toppsdirect.com/index.php/collections/premier-league.html Merlin (now part of topps the US trading card guys) have done it since 94. I had every album full till we got relegated. Looking forward to it again (fingers crossed). Also, if you send in a picture of yourself in your Saints shirt - they can personalise a sticker for you.

They did NPC ones this season as I've got a full set at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Perrin Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 circa 1982 I spent £5 I was given for Christmas on 50 packs of stickers (a waste maybe but at 8 years old I couldn't reach the jazz mags.....) I did get the Derby Country badge which was always one of the better shiny ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Louis Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 I'm also a closet geek! As well as the obvious benefits of watching Saints in the Premier League, I am also looking forward to the Premier League Sticker Album and playing as Saints in PES 2013!

yellow&blue Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 I have got every sticker album from 1978 to 2012 from the old 1st Division right through to the Premier League. From Panini to Merlin, to Topps - I am really excited and can't wait for next season to have Southampton back in the Premier League and part of my ever growing collection. Just thought I would also mention that I have a Panini Copa America 2011 complete album which also features Japan as a guest nation with a certain Tadanari Lee in the squad.....

Dr Who? Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 In my teens I did a paper round and while in the storeroom I may have borrowed a who box of football stickers, but still did not fill the book. Used to love the smell of them. This is what returning to the premier league is all about, oh and the extra few million! Nearly there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 19 April, 2012 Share Posted 19 April, 2012 Also my daughter was trying to collect these the last 2 seasons, but I refused to buy her any.... This will change now. Used to be 10p a packet, now I think they are 50p or more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adysaint Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Yep, they are Topps Match Attaxs. Yeah, but they are more like the Trading Cards. Wheras the Stickers are like the head & shoulders which you actually stick in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Started doing the Euro 2012 one the other day as I went into work and we were giving the books out for free! Recapturing my youth. May well end up doing the Prem set if we go up. I remember collecting the stickers one year, and when Tahar El Khalej transferred to Villa I crossed out his face and wrote JUDAS all over his little section of the book. I was an odd child.

SuperMikey Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 Are you trying to suggest they all look the same super dooper Mikey? Yes, that's exactly what i'm trying to say. We had 2 players of Arabic descent playing for us at about the same time, I just got them mixed up. Honestly, how many have we had? The only ones I can think of are El Khalej, Kachloul and Safri from a few years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazing Hangover Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 Proper Panini stickers in the 1970's had backgrounds from the 1950's (1850's sepia, in Newcastle's Case) with an obviously cut out action or mug shot plastered over it, and coloured in with bloc poster paint of the relevant teams colours to cover up the strip they were wearing when photographed. Ok, no transfer window or photoshop in those days, but even as a kid I was troubled by this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
