Panini Giro d'Italia 2019

 

Giro d’Italia 102 is the official sticker album celebrating the 2019 edition of the Giro d’Italia. It is the third entry in Panini’s Giro series, which began in 2017. This installment marks a temporary end to the series, which resumed in 2025 with a fourth album dedicated to Giro 108.

The Giro 102 collection features a total of 414 stickers accompanied by an additional 73 collectible cards showcasing team jerseys and bikes. Each sticker packet includes one card, adding an extra layer of collectibility.

The album opens with a rich 15-page introductory section featuring 51 stickers. This section includes stickers of the race’s official logos, mascot, jerseys, the iconic Trofeo Senza Fine (depicted across two stickers), the 2019 race route, and host cities.

Following the introduction, the album presents the 22 participating teams. Each team is allocated a two-page spread with 16 stickers: a double-sticker team photo and 14 individual rider profile stickers.

Toward the end of the album, two special sections add historical depth. The first revisits highlights from the 2018 Giro, offering eight stickers that capture key moments from that edition. The second section, titled Hall of Fame, honors legendary figures of the race’s past. It includes three stickers: the Hall of Fame logo, a tribute to Vittorio Adorni—winner of the 1965 Giro—and a reproduction of La Gazzetta dello Sport celebrating his victory.

The 2019 Giro d’Italia concluded with a historic win by Richard Carapaz, the first Ecuadorian to claim the title. Vincenzo Nibali finished second, while Primož Roglič secured third place. Pascal Ackermann won the points classification, Giulio Ciccone claimed the mountains classification, and Miguel Ángel López was the best young rider.

Premier Soccer League 2000 (South Africa)

 

Panini released this sticker collection for the 1999/2000 season of the South African Premier League. The album includes 120 stickers featuring players from the 18 participating teams. It is a straightforward album with no bonus sections or inserts. The album begins with a foreword page, followed by the 18 teams presented in alphabetical order.

Each team is represented by six action-shot player stickers, with the exception of the two most prominent clubs—Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates—which are each allotted 12 stickers. There are no additional thematic sections or extras in the album.

South African football was on the rise in the late 1990s, a momentum that eventually led to the country hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup. In the 1999/2000 Premier League season, Mamelodi Sundowns clinched the title with 75 points, finishing ahead of major rivals Orlando Pirates (64 points) and Kaizer Chiefs (60 points). Siyabonga Nomvethe of Kaizer Chiefs was named Player of the Season. In 2001, he moved to Italy, where he played for Udinese, Salernitana, and Empoli.

Below, we present images of all the pages of the empty album followed by the full set of loose stickers.
