A random thought I had, and I do not know in which other thread to ask this, but what would be some good ideas for a future Panini/Topps album? Which tournaments/concepts would make a great album for us collectors?
New Panini/Topps albums that make sense

Every UEFA competition to have it's own sticker collection; in Europa League and Conference are teams with huge fan bases and would probably love to collect it since they're team is playing.
Focus on non-top leagues with big fan bases (Poland first comes to mind).
Also stop publishing milion sensless collections such as Top Class, Superstars and other shit which only include top players and clubs.
There were dozens of ideas that were shared here along the years, but unfortunately, even if the publishers seen or had these ideas too, almost everything slams into licensing and royalties.
Personally, I would love a mix of the high-end trading cards quality, but embedded into the sticker albums. Not sure how it could be done though, but I think even the cheaper side of collecting deserve high quality stuff... problem here would be the usual, hoarders and schemers ruining everything.
As for tournaments, leagues, etc... well, this wouldn't be possible, but would love to see Topps trying a World Cup just to test them out... Panini made awful sets in the past events, so would like to see a different approach... But we all know Topps would make gazilions of extras that would probably ruin the basic collecting experience... Still would like to see that experience and maybe for one season of the portuguese league... Panini improved slightly this season, but still not enough imo.
The money is there and we know that's what drives them to make these very specific collections... Can't complain with Superstars though, I got a nice Benzema memorabilia card in a value box (pssst pssst... still boring to see the same cards with 13 variations)
I quite like TOP CLASS.
Thicker card stock not cheap bendy paper. Very nice inserts with different designs and stats in the back for those who are not familiar with some players. Holo Giants is a great idea and innovation. Although some might say LE cards with a different title.
Set is not as big as MA OR FIFA365 but condensed with less teams for those who want creme de la creme of football.
It's not for everyone but it is very popular judging by sales from various sites.
We have to be realistic here, we will not see cards like they were in 70's and 80's where teams from all across Europe were showcased. The romance of that has long gone.
Having said that Panini did have Nordic editions for many years with teams from the Nordic region included in their FIFA365 franchise. They also included(still do) teams from Hungary, Turkey & Russia among other European countries.
The hobby has changed and now it's all about the bottom line. Way back then when I was a kid it was all about pulling your favourite players and eating that Strawberry flavoured gum although it was stuck in the back of 1 card.

I'd like clean simple pages, not ones that have 9 billion different colours that looks like a pile of puke for the background.
Don't want shiny stickers except for the badges, don't want the stadiums either. Nor star players, etc etc.
And give every club the same amount of stickers, not just the popular ones.
1 player 1 sticker. Not endless, mind numbingly boring, different versions of the same player.
As for what tournament(s) to add - I don't care which, just as long as it fits in with the above.
Best albums, for me, came from the 70s/early 80s.
And yeah I'm probably in the minority, and not who they are likely to target for sales.
