PANINI "GIRO D'ITALIA 102" STICKER ALBUM

[gaspy]

Great news from our friend @Caniggia : the "Giro d'Italia 102" sticker collection will be available by this week in all Italian newsstands!!!

 

[Only Good Stickers]

Nice collection but...1.50 Euro per packet (6 stickers, 1 card) and 10 euros for a starter pack

 

[KevinBEL]

Any idea if it will be available in Belgium like last year ?

You mean if it's sold in Panini Belgium website? Possibly yes.

 

[KevinBEL]

I mean in the newsstands. Last year they made a dutch version or the collection that was for sale in the newsstands. Only difference was dutch and french translation on extra pages and the page for the stickers from la gazzetta was not in the version

Really? I was not aware of it, thanks for clarifying

Makes sense though, Netherlands is the bicycle country... But they sold also in Belgium too? Unless there were poor sales last year, Panini usually continues to release the collection... Or maybe this time you'll get Tour de France album? Maybe both?

 

[KevinBEL]

As a cycling collector I hope both but if the Tour De France is only available in France its not a problem because I live only 30 minutes from the border.

No idea about the sales but there are a lot of cycling collectors in Belgium and its very popular here. Unfortunately its one of the most expensive collections.

Yes indeed, last year it was also released in Belgium (and Luxembourg). At least the 3 first pages were in Dutch and French (see pictures)

Indeed, not that cheap. Maybe I'll wait till the complete set will be available next year.

Currently in Belgium we can purchase a 101 set for 70 EUR (without shipment) http://collectibles.paninibelgium.com/store/col_bel_nl/003603rcvabe-it-giro-d-italia-2018-r-c-con-valva-alb-fig-belgio.html

Panini knows their market then

Even if 102 is not on sale this time in Belgium/Netherlands, I'm almost certain Panini will sell album+box on their websites, hopefully with free shipping.

That version was only released in Belgium and Luxembourg.

Welcome to the forums. When you need to write more after you posted something, please edit that post.

Regarding your questions, it's very possible you may get Giro stickers posted to France if you buy from Panini France website. 101 collection is still on sale there:

The album is not for sale in stores but on the website the album and 50 pack box are for sale on the Belgian panini website

Same for every country with Panini website.

Too bad it's 1.5€ per packet, Tour de France is just 1€ and much more worth it.

 

[gaspy]

Tour de France: 5 stickers + 1 card / packet (1€)
Giro d'Italia: 6 stickers + 1 card / packet (1,50€)

Huge increase of the packet cost in Italy: can't believe that 1 more sticker would justify a 0,50€ increase

Giro has one more sticker? Didn't know... but yes, not justified at all and France usually has also the same price as Italy (Adrenalyn collections are expensive in both countries).

Only hardcore cycling collectors will buy this, I think

 

[gaspy]

This looks like to be a very expensive sticker collection, but I'm not going to give up

I'm still convinced that 2 cycling collections, released more or less at the same time, risk to be repetitive: even if the albums are different, the teams are mainly the same.

 

[KevinBEL]

I have just compared the checklist from both albums

4 teams from the 22 are only in Giro album and if you count them out , there are 252 riders. 125 riders are the same and most of the teamphotos will also be the same. Even the cards with the team jersey will almost be the same
