Stuck!

During one of our “Tito conversations “ at the office, the topic turned to stickers. This discussion wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the Panini stickers of the 80s and 90s.

This was the rage for kids during that decade. 

First, you’d buy the book. Then, you’d buy stickers in separate packs, and fill in the boxes with the corresponding stickers. Sometimes, you’d get duplicates, and you have to look for friends to swap stickers with.

At some of those rare times, you would get special stickers, like holographic stickers or those printed on metallic paper. Once you’d get those, it felt like hitting the jackpot.

Looking back at it now, those Panini books were good for developing your creativity, patience and friendship. Lessons that stuck to me decades after my first sticker book back then.
