Panini Calciatrici 2023

 

"Calciatrici 2023" is the first ever sticker collection of the women's Serie A. However, it was not phisically released in the stores, but it is a digital collection, that can be completed online (mypanini) using the codes found in the Calciatori 2023 sticker packets. Once the album is completed, the collection can be purchased (30€). You will receive a box with an empty album and the full set of 230 stickers.  

The collection is well done and it is worth the effort of inserting all the sticker codes online. The album is solid and of better quality than the common Panini albums, even though it is not a hardcover album. The 10 competing clubs are shown in alphabetical order with 23 stickers per club displaced over four pages: the shiny club badge and 22 player stickers. There are no other sections with stickers in this album.

In the following, we show the empty album with full set of stickers that can be obtained after completing the digital album.

Panini Fussball 2005 (Germany)

 

Fussball 2005 is the official sticker collection of the German Bundesliga 2004/2005 produced by Panini, including all the 18 competing clubs. The album keeps the same layout and even number of stickers of the previous editions. 

Before presenting the Bundesliga clubs, there is an introductory page with five stickers of the 2003/2004 champions (Werder Bremen) and top goalscorer (Ailton). Then, the Bundesliga clubs are shown in alphabetical order with 27 stickers per club displaced over six pages. In the first two pages there are six stickers: the shiny club badge, the team photo, the stadium (three stickers), and the fans. The players of the squad are shown with 18 portrait stickers over three pages. The last club page includes three peculiar stickers. The first one is "who is that", a player in action that can be unveiled erasing the sticker surface. The second one is "Tor", with a player celebrating a goal, and the last one is a transparent sticker that complete a photo of an acrobatic action.

After the Bundesliga clubs, there are two sections with stickers to conclude the album. "DFB-Pokal 2003/2004" celebrates the Werder Bremen victory of the 2003/2004 German Cup with three stickers. "Adidas-special" is a sponsored page with three action stickers of International football stars: Zidane, Raul, and Beckham.

Panini Fussball 2004 (Germany)

 

Fussball Bundesliga 2004 is the official sticker collection of the Bundesliga produced by Panini for the 2003/2004 season. Panini, however, did not have the rights to include symbols and shirts of Borussia Dortmund. Therefore, the player stickers of this club have a plain white t-shirt and the team, logo, and stadium stickers were not included.

The album begins with three introductory stickers celebrating the highlights of the previous season: the Bundesliga winners (Bayern Munchen) and the top goalscorer (Christiansen and Elber with 21 goals). The Bundesliga clubs are then shown in alphabetical order with a total of 27 stickers: the shiny club badge, the stadium, the team photo (two stickers), five players in action (shiny stickers), and 18 player portraits. For the reasons explained above, Borussia Dortmund has only 20 stickers. To compensate, right after the Borussia Dortmund pages there is a special section ("Be a champ 2006") with seven stickers of young players in action.

After resuming with the Bundesliga clubs, at the end of the album there are still some extra sections. The main is dedicated to the DFB-Pokal 2002/2003 (German Cup) won by Bayern Munchen. Here we find four stickers. In the last two pages there are still five miscellaneous stickers. In the 2003/2004 Bundesliga, Werder Bremen dominated with 74 points; second place for Bayern Munchen (68 points). Ailton (Werder Bremen) was the top scorer of the tournament with 28 goals.
