Only Good Stickers: Olympic Games - Beijing 2022 (Officina Contrada)

The Olympic games in Beijing have their own complete sticker collection. The Italian company Officina Contrada produced a set of 306 stickers with all the athletes and the winter sports of Beijing 2022. The selection of athletes is wide and the photos are really beautiful. The collection has the merit of including all the sports and the main stars, covering in this way a gap in the sticker collections for these Olympic Games, as the only official collection produced by the German company Just-Stick-It and printed by Panini concerns only the German Team (Winterspiele 2022). On the minus side, the quality of sticker paper and printing could be improved to reach the level of the major companies (Panini and Topps). Also, all the stickers are about the athletes, with no sections over the Olympic Games and their location.

The album starts with the Alpine Skiing and Biathlon, which have the largest amount of stickers (50 for both sports) and then it continues with all the other sports included. On each sport page there is a medal table, which summarizes the medals won in the previous Olympic Games by countries. This collection is an occasion to have all the best athletes from Beijing 2022 in one complete set. Among them Lara Gut, Mikaela Shriffin, Petra Vlhova and Sofia Goggia (Alpine Skiing), Klaebo, Pellegrino, Johaug, and Niskanen (Cross Country), just to mention some of them. In the following, pictures of the album and the complete set, which were produced and sold together (there are no sticker packets).
