So again collecting the regular one + the foil one BUT!!! this year they get mad!

Ebay is your best friend...

There was a roumor that a drug store company is allready selling this stuff. So today I gave it a try and traveled to the closesed "Müller Drug Store" an surprise, it´s true they sell since yesterday.
I asked the salesman and he told me that the 1st drop was 3 albums and 3 blisters, so I took 1 album and the 3 blisters.
here are some fakts about the album.
Size is as last year not like the, Panini like, CL Album or ( I think Premier league was bigger too, was´nt it ? )
Album has 437 regular stickers + 18 limited stickers so a total of 455.
Album price is 2,50€, blister price is 4,99€ limited stickers in blister are just laying loose behind the packets, so if do not open the blister carefull you might damage them.

The album starts with an opener from Raffael of Borussia Mönchengladbach

Inside each team has 4 pages with 21 stickers. Stickers have 2 different sizes in each packet is 1 big sticker and 4 small stickers.
Each team has 1 Badge (small/shiny), 2 jersey stickers together on one (big), a team picture (big), teamcaptain (small), team captain with signature (big), starplayer (small/shiny) 15 player stickers (small) one of them as limited version too.

at the center of the album there is a section called "international stars" diveded itno a european part, 2 pages, and a 2 pages part for Africa, America and Asia

The last pages of the album are for the 2nd league.
2 teams each page with just a badge and 2 jerseys, as in previous years.

Stickers of players look very poor. limted ones are a little better. I´m not a fan of jersey stickers but okay... and team stickers dont show the whole squad allways but sometimes just a few players celebrating after a goal.

I ordered two boxes, that arrived today...

inside 50 packets and the poster that they used to put in.

the packets are slightly different , if you look at the barcodes.
Might have to do with the different content, if you think about different limiteds in packets from blisters and from boxes.

One thing in additon, you can see that on all products there is a price in SFR too, what means the are selling in Swiss too. that reminds me to the 80´s when German collection was distributet in Germany, Austria and Swiss.
As I remember the last years there was no SFR printed on it so they will have expanded. I´m not sure about Swiss league and if they have a own collection but I´m sure it will not be a succsess over there.

After opening the 1st box I can say ratio is awfull.
50% of the big stickers inside are the same.
I have out of 50, 7 times Schalke jersey, 7 times team photo of Bayern, 6 times Niko Bungert ( Mainz 05 Captain ), 6 times Jersey SV Sandhausen

On the other hand...
small stickers are good.
not single one twice...
5 limiteds in total and each 10th packet with 2 badges

so... heaven and hell together

That's why I don't buy boxes now, except when I want to complete 3 or 4 sets (WC and Euro) because I will use my swaps. I prefer to wait and to buy a complete set. At the end it's cheaper

i opened 2 boxes.....first box nearly no doubles of normal stickers...but in the 2nd box nearly all packets have the same players inside

 

[Daniel Will]

here some limited stickers from the packets only kramaric(hoffenheim) is missing

Just got my order. 2 boxes and 1 album. So 500 stickers of wich 345 singles of 437 (92 numbers still missing), 139 doubles and 12 limited.

I got three boxes, finished the album and got the ten available limiteds. After battling Paninis horrible Foot 16/17 the past couple of days, it was nice to deal with an album like the Bundesliga

thats what happens if you give a sticker just on topps tour with only 3 stops ...
