Stickers special variations

* Argentina

Shiny stickers effect is different from the international one: it looks like a kaleidoscope effect



To compare, this is a shiny sticker from the international editions : the effect is more plain with stripes



* South America (except Argentina)

In some south american countries wich remains to know how many, the shiny stickers manufactured there (probably in Brazil) have a different effect from the international editions and from the argentine edition : it looks like shiny spots all over the sticker.

@Pei Thank you but I haven't finished yet the review. In fact, I'm working on it just right now and will of course add a lot of other things. I will say when it will be finished.

EDIT: I think I have finished now. Don't hesitate to comment and bring new informations. I would be happy to update each time is necessary.

 

[Pavle]

Excellent writeup @Makhno thanks for taking your time to present all the aspects of this set.

New albums.

PERUVIAN EDITION



INTERNATIONAL HARDCOVER

 

[Makhno]

@stickersCat As you surely noticed, I put albums that had no differences on front cover (only bar code and flags on back cover) in the "International editions" category. It is a choice that can be discussed but I did it like this.
So, I thing the peruvian edition can go into this category, right ?
I know there is an international hardcover edition, but I hardly doubt the pic you put is an hardcover album picture, especially the front cover pic (it really seems like a soft cover one). Can you confirm to as I can update ?
Thanks

Bravo! Now i see there a very good experts in pictures, albums, covers...You are right. Front cover of Hardcover album i took from soft picture because is the same. Back cover is a real hardcover album.
About your other question is very difficult to answer. I collect all (with or not code bar, with free, gratis words, priced albums). Then, we can avaluate if there are different or not.

 

[Danju]

Thank you guys, nice oferview.

just one thing ...
Dutch Version packets are not from "Penny Market" its Dutch Company Supermarkets " Albert Heijn " where they were available.

 

[stickersCat]

Thank you Danju for your help! I corrected it.

 

[DetroitStickers]

Very nice post. I'm looking forward to ripping the box I have open.

 

[Makhno]

@stickersCat By the way, if you look closely at the covers on the International section, the peruvian one was already there.
Thanks for the packets review

 

[Sergio Z]

I will always think this is one of the most beautiful collections Panini has released so far.

Again, thanks @Makhno and @stickersCat for such a review, you surely made justice to this album's awesomeness

 

[Sorolla]

Is there any difference between the German and Internationa version.I know that there is a poster in the german and the cover is gold,but is everything there written in German language ?Thanks

 

[Danju]

all the stickers are different, frame colors are switched.
players are purple framed not white, and in action stickers are white not purple, 1:1 stwitched.

 

[Makhno]

I have a question. Is there any of you who have these posters ? It seems they come with the Poland/Ukraine edition. But mine hasn't got any of them. Thanks for the infos
