For Sale 1978 World Cup Album

Whiskeytownracer

Old School Hero
Perhaps a bit of a long shot (ahem) in terms of interest but here it is:

1978 Panini World Cup Sticker Album. All stickers present and well placed. Some scores handwritten, sadly by me as a small child. Fortunately, a small proprortion of the overall, as pictures show. Cover wrapped from new in Fablon. This means it's rather well preserved, though arificially so. There are sections where this has lifted as can be seen in the pics.
Because the Fablon has almost fully enclosed the cover it has been well protected and not exposed to pesky things like moisture and dirt. The result of this can be seen in the first picture where the inner pages have swollen a bit so they protrude the cover. There is also some inevitable discolouration.

Priced significantly below equivalents on ebay@ £130 including RMSD within UK. (I don't have paypal, so it's bank transfer or collection Nottinghamshire)

If you bought and stuck those stickers in as a child, do you really want to sell it?

You could scan it and sell a digital version for a few £ a time and keep your childhood handiwork
 
I'm not particularly sentimental about most things. I appreciate the suggestion about digital but it's hassle for little return on what isn't that rare an item.
It's time for it to go, hopefully to someone who will appreciate it.
 
I remember that album - brings back the memories from a childhood bedroom. Strange how Hungry and Austria and Scotland even got a double page and England and Germany only a reduced area. An early example of protected image rights perhaps. I could never afford to get close to completing an album, but I remember having multiple Ray Clemence stickers and little else!
 
I recall completing it was quite the challenge, lots of swapping duplicates. At the time I lived in mainland europe, the small town we were in had its football stadium literally across the road from our house. I had one sticker to find, the World Cup trophy sticker. Weeks after I, and my parents wallet had given up, I found that last sticker just outside the football stadium. Lying on the ground in perfect as new condition. Album completed!
