Panini Brasileiro 2005


Panini Brasileiro 2005 includes all the Brazilian clubs of Serie A and Serie B shown in alphabetical order. There are no extra sections in the album. First Serie A teams are shown, each displayed on two pages with a total of 17 stickers: the club logo (metallic sticker), the mascot (transparent sticker), 12 stickers with single player and 3 stickers with two players on each sticker. There are thus 18 players per club included. 











In Serie B there are 22 teams. Each team on one page with 8 stickers: the metallic club badge, the transparent mascot (or flag for teams without a mascot) and six stickers to compose a team photo. The stickers of the team photo are very irregular and therefore it is challenging to compose a precise picture. 







Two great strikers before coming to Europe: Carlitos Tevez and Fred

Two young prospects of 2005: Fernandinho (now at Manchester City) and Miranda (Atletico Madrid and Internazionale)

Panini Fussball Bundesliga 2015-2016 (Austria)




The official sticker collection of the Austrian Bundesliga for the season 2015-2016 includes all the teams of both the Bundesliga and the Erste Liga. The new feature of this collection is that each player sticker is composed by two separate parts, the player profile and the player details. The same type of stickers was first used by Panini in the Champions league album 2015 and then for the albums Campeonato Chileno 2015 and Ekstraklasa 2015. In those cases the mini stickers with the player details were to be glued on a big poster included with the album. In this Bundesliga 2016 collection, the mini-sticker must be glued on four pages in the center of the album.
The collection starts with the table of contents on the left and the introductory page of the Bundesliga on the right. In this page there are the first 5 stickers: the trophy (Meister), the Bundesliga logo, the winners of the Meister 2015 (RB Salzburg), the winners of the cup 2015 (RB Salzburg), and the best player 2015 (Jonatan Soriano).
Then the 10 Bundesliga teams are shown following the order of classification of the previous season, starting from Red Bull Salzburg until the newly promoted Mattersburg. For each team there are four pages. The first two pages include the club badge (metallic sticker) and the starting eleven displaced on the page according to the team tactics (11 player stickers). The third page includes 8 stickers of reserve players and the fourth page the stadium (2 stickers), the sticker of the coach and the team photo composed by four stickers. There thus are in total 27 stickers per team.









In the middle of the Bundesliga section there are four pages to glue the mini stickers of the players.




The Erste Liga section starts with an introduction of 4 stickers: Erste Liga Meister 2015 (Mattersburg), Erste Liga Trophy, Best player 2015 (Markus Pink), and the logo of the Erste Liga.
Each of the 10 teams is displaced on one page with a total of 6 stickers: the club badge (metallic sticker), the captain, and the team photo (composed by 4 stickers).
