I succumbed to the lure of reduced football stickers

I said I wasn't going to buy any Euro 2024 football stickers. But then Lidl knocked 30% off a multipack and the temptation was too great!


The pack included a tin, which was a major contributory temptational factor. I can justify it as a place to put my swaps.



There were 9 packets in the tin. All of them had a 'shiny' as the first sticker. The first packet had a shiny of Arda Güler, who was a stand out young starlet for Turkey. 


The second sticker in the first pack was of two Cymru players! I was off to a good start.


Three of the nine shiny stickers were 'parallels' meaning they are rarer - I'm a bit annoyed by it because it leaves me with a conundrum of whether to stick them in the album or not. I probably won't. 

However I did get an ordinary shiny and the parallel version, which neatly shows what I mean.


Because of licensing issues, some players just have headshots where their kits aren't visible. They look a bit odd. Plus it makes the choice of headshot really important. 

Poor old Oliver Kahn deserved better!
