"Collecting and completing the official Panini Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022 album cost fans about 870. This year's World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico will present the biggest challenge yet, though, and will require a considerable amount of pocket money."
"Individual packets of seven stickers retail at 1.25 in the United Kingdom, meaning that even with impossibly perfect luck and no duplicates, 140 packets would be required at a cost of 175."
"Statistically, however, more than 1,000 packets may be required to acquire every player in the album, meaning an outlay of about 1,000."
"In 2021, a 1979 Panini sticker of Maradona, then aged 19, sold for 470,000 at auction."
The cost of completing the Panini World Cup sticker album is rising due to inflation, with fans potentially needing to spend around 1,000. The upcoming tournament will feature 980 unique stickers, making it the largest collection yet. Individual packets cost 1.25, and statistically, fans may need over 1,000 packets to complete the album. Collecting stickers is seen by some as an investment, with vintage stickers fetching high prices at auction, such as a 1979 Maradona sticker that sold for 470,000.
