Full Description
Still Stuck On You: The Rise of Football Collectibles is the fascinating story of how the hobby has exploded over the last decade into a billion-dollar industry. In the last ten years the football collectibles market has changed beyond all recognition, thanks in no small part to the growing interest among collectors in North America. The power struggle between Panini and Topps - the latter now owned by Fanatics - remains as fierce as ever, with the no-holds-barred battle for sports collectibles licences making them regular foes in the law courts. Football sticker and card collectors have never seen so many products available to them, while a surge in those entering the sector as investors has brought about the sport's first million-dollar collectible sale for a 1958 Pelé release. This compelling book charts the inexorable ascent of the hobby through the eyes of some of the sector's movers and shakers.
