Hi Everyone,
My first memory of a WC goes back to 1986 and Diego Maradona. Living in Canada, the Panini albums were not available for the WC back then - they sure were for hockey and baseball though!
So I began collecting the WC albums in 2002 and I am now looking to build my collection backward, hoping to go all the way to 1970 one day. But I would like to start with 1986 for the reasons mentioned above.
Based on your advices, I understand that prior to any WC or Euros, it is a seller market. I would probably get better deals for old albums if I were to wait at the end of the year.
Right now, the better value deals (rated EX, no markings, intact covers) for the 1986 album are at 160-200 EUR (250$-310$ CAD). Netherlands vendor. Is this a good deal or I should wait later this year? What is the going market rate for a VG to EX 1986 album?
Thanks for your insights!
