Panini Fussball 92

Fussball 92 is the official sticker album of the German Bundesliga. In 1991/1992, the Bundesliga was extended to 20 competing teams, incorporating two teams from former East Germany. Stuttgart won the title with the same points of Borussia Dortmund, but better goal difference. Fritz Walter (Stuttgart) was the top goalscorer with 22 goals.

The sticker album begins with an introductory page featuring two shiny stickers: the German Federation logo and the Bundesliga trophy. The 20 Bundesliga teams are then shown in alphabetical order with 18 stickers displaced over two pages: the team photo composed by two stickers and 16 player portrait stickers.

The club badges are separate stickers that can find space on a poster with the Bundesliga table. On this poster there are the metallic stickers of the Bundesliga and 2.Bundesliga club badges. These stickers are numbered from W1 to W31. The badges of Borussia Dortmund (not numbered) and Schalke 04 (numbered W16) are already printed on the poster. The 24 metallic badges of the 2.Bundesliga are half stickers (A+B) and they go from W20 to W31. In addition to the poster, there are 14 extra stickers of football slogans, numbered from A to N.

The 2.Bundesliga is also included in this collection with three stickers composing the team photo of each club, and the club badges (half sticker), which are part of the poster.

Panini Tour de France 2021

Tour de France 2021 is the third Panini sticker album dedicated to the Tour de France. The collection starts with the presentation of the race, for a total of 44 stickers: two stickers are dedicated to the mascot Maxoo and 42 stickers to the stages of the 2021 race. For each stage there are two stickers, one with the venue and one with a memory from a past Tour de France.

The 22 teams taking part into the 2021 Tour de France are then shown in alphabetical order. For each team there are 14 stickers: the logo, the team jersey, the bike, the team photo, and 10 riders. After the team presentation, there is one last page with the Tour de France winners. This section does not feature any stickers.

For this collection there is also an update set of 25 stickers with the stage and jersey winners. There is no space on the album for these stickers that should be stored separately. There is also a hardcover version of the album, which was released inside a collector's box.

In the 2021 race, The Slovenian rider Tadej Pogačar secured his second consecutive Tour de France win, finishing ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (not included in the album!) and Richard Carapaz. Pogačar claimed also the King of the Mountains title and the White Jersey, whereas Mark Cavendish got the Green Jersey.

In the following we show an empty album (Colombian version) with the complete loose set of stickers.
