Only Good Stickers: Panini Este

venerdì 12 febbraio 2021

Panini Este - Liga 2020

The official sticker collection of the Liga 2019-20 was released by Collectiones Este (Panini). For the first time, there is also a hardcover version of the album, joining the club of the big leagues with a similar luxurious hardback album (Calciatori, Premier League, Foot and Brasileirao).

In terms of layout, sections and stickers, the collection is very similar to the previous recent editions. The album opens with the contents and the space for two commemorative stickers (cromos conmemorativos) to be found in the magazine Jugon. Then the 20 competing teams are presented with the club badge and manager stickers. The badges are shiny metallic stickers.

Clubs are shown in alphabetical order with space for 16 player stickers over two pages. However, for some spots there are two or more stickers. These extra stickers can be either "B" stickers, which are alternative players, or the so-called "Coloca" to replace players that left the club with new entries. It is possible to place all the stickers in the album in such a way that the top sticker can be lifted to show the sticker underneath.

After the Liga clubs, there is a section called "Serie Oro" with 16 gold metallic stickers with the best players in action. Then the clubs of second division are presented with club badge stickers (11 stickers for 22 clubs). The last part of the album is dedicated as usual to the last signings (Ultimos Fichajes). In those pages there is space for 64 new players that joined the Liga after the released of the album in August 2019. There is also again the terrible "Chicles" section with stickers coming from chewing gums (but we advise not to stick those low quality stickers in the album).

An update set including a mini-album and 42 new player stickers was released with three consecutive Jugon magazines in the spring 2020. These 42 players and managers are new signings during the winter market 2020.
